摘要
The interconnections between health, housing and energy are increasingly apparent. Fossil fuel combustion has a clear negative effect on public health, with impacts that are disproportionately felt among communities of color, the poor, and other vulnerable populations in the U.S. and globally. Energy efficiency has a well-documented positive impact on household health, including decreases in asthma and cardiovascular disease. The utility industry has an important role to play in improving the health of its customers. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
