De hittegolf in juni leidde in Walloni\u00eb en Brussel tot een aanzienlijk hoger oversterftecijfer dan in Vlaanderen. Deskundigen wijzen op een combinatie van factoren: geografische omstandigheden, het stedelijk hitte-eilandeffect, sociaaleconomische kwetsbaarheid, de kwaliteit van de huisvesting en mogelijk luchtvervuiling.<\/p>

Want hoe je het ook bekijkt: armoede wordt al lang in verband gebracht met een slechtere gezondheid, en juist deze kwetsbare groepen worden het hardst getroffen door hitte: hitte belast het hart, en verhoogde ozonconcentraties hebben een negatieve invloed op de luchtwegen.<\/p>
