Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources and Public Health: A Content Analysis in Brazil
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The article analyzes, through a review of scientific literature, the relationship between climate change, water quality and public health, over a decade (2011-2021), in Brazil. Key themes were listed, including organic contamination, water scarcity and the impacts of climate change on health. Database analyses demonstrate the little exploration of these topics where the great complexity of managing available water resources is emphasized. The few Brazilian articles found in a decade, just 6, support the need for integrated approaches between the economic, environmental and public health sectors. They reiterate that greater awareness and integration of different areas is necessary to face the effects of climate change for the effective management of water resources, aiming to mitigate their scarcity, loss of quality and, above all, avoid causing health problems in communities.
