This analysis finds increased public health risks from chemical disasters in India, suggesting strategies to mitigate these issues under climate change.
The increasing frequency of chemical disasters, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, poses significant public health challenges globally. India, with its growing industrial landscape, urbanization, and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events, is particularly at risk. This paper explores the public health implications of chemical disasters in the context of climate change, focusing on India as a case study. It examines the intersection of industrial activities, environmental vulnerabilities, and the impacts of climate change, highlighting both acute and long-term health outcomes for affected populations. The study also addresses the challenges of managing chemical hazards in a rapidly changing climate, suggesting policy interventions and strategies to mitigate the public health risks posed by chemical disasters in India.
