"Climate change the biggest threat to global health in 21st century"─── 08:52 Thu, 08 Oct 2015
Durban - Environmental experts have warned climate change is the biggest threat to global health in the 21st century.
Environmental Medicine Professor, Peter Orris, addressed delegates at the Public Health Association of South Africa Conference in Durban.
He says air pollutants have long been found to contribute to diseases such as lung cancer, asthma and respiratory infections, but new research is showing increasingly negative effects in reproductive health.
Orris says children are being born 'pre-polluted'.
