Anthropogenic activities contribute to global warming. Despite global efforts to limit temperature rise, recent data show temperature targets continue to be exceeded. Furthermore, human activities have substantially increased the number of chemicals in our environment. These chemicals can both exacerbate global warming, and their toxicity can be impacted by a warming climate. This paper explores how rising temperatures and increased exposure to chemical pollutants interact to amplify adverse health outcomes. We examine the synergistic effects of environmental stressors, focusing on air pollution and extreme weather events. Additionally, we highlight how these environmental threats disproportionately affect socially and economically disadvantaged communities, exacerbating existing health disparities. By integrating insights on climate change, pollution, and social inequities, we aim to underscore the importance of understanding the compounding effects of climate change on human health. This understanding will facilitate a holistic approach essential for creating informed policies and interventions that protect both the environment and human health. (Copyright © 2025.
