"We're now beginning to see some infections and some vector-borne diseases in different areas of the world that we've never seen before. For example, diseases that have commonly been found within the Mediterranean are now being seen as far north as the Scandinavian countries. We've also seen some issues about mold that typically was only found within Mexico and Central America there're now as far north as British Columbia in Canada."
The study on climate change and health was written by a ten-member committee, including members from Africa, Europe, Asia, India, the Middle East and the United States. It appears in the Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society.平克顿是加利福尼亚州戴维斯学院小儿科的一名专家。他呼吁世界卫生组织、政府以及其他机构采取公共安全措施以保护易感人群，包括婴儿、儿童还有老人。
“现在我们发现在世界不同地区出现了一些我们从未在那里见过的传染病。比如，一些在地中海内常见的疾病已经逐步扩散到斯堪的纳维亚国家的北部。同时，我们还发现，非常典型的仅能在墨西哥和美国中部发现的霉菌现在在加拿大的不列颠哥伦比亚地区北部也可看到。”
关于气候变化和健康的这项研究是由十人组成的委员会完成的，各成员来自非洲、欧洲、亚洲、印度、中东以及美国。该研究发表在美国胸腔协会的学报上。
