Question

10 multiple choice 2 points what is a potential health impact of climate change? reduced risk of vector - borne diseases decreased air pollution improved mental health increased heat - related illnesses

Explanation:

Climate change leads to rising temperatures. Higher temperatures increase the likelihood of heat - related illnesses such as heatstroke. Vector - borne diseases (e.g., malaria, dengue) are more likely to spread as climate change expands the habitats of disease - carrying vectors (like mosquitoes). Air pollution is often exacerbated by climate - related factors such as wildfires (which are more frequent due to climate change) and changes in weather patterns that trap pollutants. Mental health is negatively impacted by climate - related disasters (e.g., floods, hurricanes) and the stress of living in a changing climate, not improved.

Answer:

Increased heat - related illnesses
