Thousands of immigrants-many children-the hot conditions that turn off the AS-Mexico border. Due to the effects of climate change daily, extreme weather conditions cause high risk of dehydration and death among immigrants trying to enter the state through the Sonoran desert.
To calculate the most terrible areas of the US – Mexico border, scientists and researchers used biophysical human dehydration models. According to a report made by this model, it was found that most deaths were mainly caused by severe dehydration. After organizing a dataset in an area with victims, severe dehydration leading to death, water loss, organ failure, disorientation and physiological challenges in animal species are associated with the report.
“We provide the first empirical evidence that the physiological pressure experienced by humans trying to cross the Sonoran desert to the United States is sufficient to cause severe dehydration and related conditions that can lead to death. Long also outlines the importance of access to drinking water to prevent the highest risk of water loss during migration across the region.
The models developed to combat climate change and water shortage unfortunately show us that this type of border crossing will only be more dangerous over time, increasing the number of people who have not made it. Steps must be taken immediately to reduce this crisis.
