Offers resources on the impacts that climate change, increased levels of greenhouse gases, global warming, and the depletion of ozone layer will have on human health, including health effects from increased smog episodes, illnesses and deaths caused by heat and cold waves, water- and food-borne contamination, diseases transmitted by insects, health effects of stratospheric ozone depletion, and extreme weather events.
Discusses potential health effects of climate change and emphasizes the risk to vulnerable groups. Suggests ways for people to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect their health.

The Brewer Spectrophotometer is used in the Canadian stratospheric ozone and UV monitoring program, with 12 sites established in Canada that routinely collect and process data on a daily basis. The instruments measure total ozone and spectral UV irradiation (290-325 nm) every 10-20 minutes. The information derived from the Brewer network is used for ozone and UV index forecasting, trend analysis and ongoing scientific research.
