<p style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This summer, Ottawa Public Health is adopting new hot weather notification thresholds developed by Environment Canada. The new evidence-based triggers were developed following a review
of heat-related illnesses in Ontario. Ottawa Public Health will notify the public and service providers of vulnerable residents when Environment Canada forecasts the following conditions:

certain psychiatric and anti-Parkinson medications are also more sensitive to the effects of heat and sun.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

les jeunes enfants, les malades chroniques et les sans-abri figurent parmi les personnes les plus vulnérables aux effets néfastes de la chaleur et du smog. Les personnes qui prennent des médicaments antiparkinsoniens ou utilisés dans le traitement d’une maladie
