The original report issued in March 2004 provided information for deaths occurring 1992-2002. Instead of preparing a separate publication which would provide more recent information than 2002, we have decided to update and expand the original report.
The purpose of this report is to provide information concerning deaths from exposure to heat due to weather conditions occurring in Arizona. Unlike our other reports, designed to monitor health status of the residents of Arizona, this publication is focused on mortality occurring in the State to both residents and non-residents. The data for 2002 (the latest year with complete information) are placed in a temporal context by comparison with the data for the preceding ten years.
Chiefly statistics from monitoring of wells in the areas adjacent to the Cave Creek Landfill.
