“…Studies have found that exposure to air pollution leads to an increased incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, which, in turn, leads to a decrease in happiness [38,39]. Water pollution is another major environmental issue associated with a decrease in residents' happiness, with contaminated water sources leading to an increase in the incidence of waterborne diseases, which negatively affects physical health and quality of life [40]. Land pollution is the third major environmental problem associated with decreased residents' happiness.…”

“…[69][70][71] People experiencing unstable housing may have greater exposure to heat-related stress, lower water availability and poor water quality, which have been linked to acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and nephrolithiasis. 66,[72][73][74][75] More research on the relationship between climate and kidney disease is needed, and policies and interventions mitigating the impact of climate change on health may attenuate kidney related risks associated with unstable housing. 76 Unstable housing may also affect health through neuro-hormonal mechanisms.…”
