“…Adjusting for these potential mediators in future studies would help to test hypotheses about the potential pathways of socioeconomic disparity in heat vulnerability. Economic growth and urbanization in Brazil are generally associated with increased ambient air pollution and decreased green space (a measure of vegetation density), due to increased emissions from industries and traffic and a shift from vegetated lands to building structures [ 46 49 ].Poor outdoor air quality and low green space have been found to enhance rather than attenuate residents’ vulnerability to heat-related morbidity and mortality [ 50 54 ]. Therefore, the negative association between city-level socioeconomic factors and heat vulnerability is not likely to be explained by inter-city variations in green space and air quality.…”

“…Both heat and air pollution exert effects and when combined the total effect may be larger than the sum of individual effects. A recent Perth‐based study found a 6.6% joint additive effect of PM 2.5all and heat waves on ED admissions …”

“…Given the significant impacts of air pollution on public health in the LA region [6,149], validation efforts should, to the extent possible, control for spatiotemporal trends in ozone and particulate matter pollution, or potentially include them as part of the HVI. Joint effects of air pollution and high heat have been documented both in the LA region and other cities with Mediterranean, semi-arid climates, such as Perth, Australia [150,151].…”
