Domain-specific

• Urban Heat Island
  • Public health. UHI raises night-time heat exposure, and the night is when heat stress is most lethal because the body cannot recover; the island therefore amplifies heat-mortality risk during heat waves

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another.
