(Media-Newswire.com) - Eight states and two cities will receive a total of

$5.25 million for climate change prevention initiatives, the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention announced today. The awards for a three-year

funding period will support health departments in meeting the public health

challenges of climate change.

The funding recipients are Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,

Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and New York City and San

Francisco.

The programs will address health impacts including heat- related illness,

animal- and insect-related illness, food- and water-borne diseases,

conditions that worsen allergies and respiratory problems, and health effects

linked to intense weather events.
