Global warming increases water evaporation rates during human breathing in dehydrating atmospheres. Professor David Edwards from Harvard John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and John Hopkins Medical School will discuss how this evaporation leads to thinning of airway mucus and compresses the airway epithelium during tidal breathing resulting in activation of epithelial cells and inflammation.
This will consequently initiate and exacerbate respiratory diseases in this age of climate change.
