It focuses on the country\u2019s three states that produce the most labor-intensive crops\u2014California, Washington and Florida\u2014and describes how climate change is causing intensified risks to the workers on whom we depend to produce our fruits, nuts and vegetables.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhile pesticide exposure and heat stress conditions each already represent a threat to farmworkers\u2019 health, climate change promises to compound these threats.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is widely understood that climate change is causing more frequent high-temperature days, leading to greater risk of heat stress and heat-related injuries in workers. It is also documented that climate change leads to increased pesticide use due to insect pest, weed and pathogen ranges shifting and expanding, and increased pesticide volatilization (the process of pesticides turning into air vapor) which increases pesticide exposure not only for workers but also agricultural communities. Further, increased heat can increase the toxicity of some classes of pesticides.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA growing body of research shows that heat stress increases the human body\u2019s susceptibility to pesticides and other toxicants, magnifying the potential for both acute and long-term health effects\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another connection between heat exposure and pesticides is summed up in the report as follows: \u201cFarmworkers\u2019 high risk of heat stress is related to the nature of their labor: they do hard work under the sun and often through the hottest parts of the year. Direct sunlight can increase the heat index (which combines temperature and humidity to give a \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature) by up to 15 \u00baF. Further, to protect against chemicals (including pesticides), insects, and sun, farmworkers typically wear long sleeves and often wear multiple layers. Such clothing can add up to 12\u00baF to the \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature. Nonbreathable coveralls\u2014used to protect pesticide handlers against the most toxic pesticides\u2014can increase the \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature even more, by up to 27\u00ba F.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><u>Where California stands<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>The average rate of pesticide use on California\u2019s harvested croplands is more than 4.5 times the national average, 8.1 kg per acre compared to 1.7 kg per acre. Nine of the ten pesticides used on the more labor-intensive crops have severe impacts on farmworker health, demonstrated by the average 88 cases per year of acute pesticide poisoning from 2010 to 2015. Rising temperatures compound risks related to pesticide use and application; from 1971 to 2000, there were an average of 102 days annually over 80\u00baF, the heat risk threshold. In the top 10 agricultural counties, heat risks increase with an average of 115 days annually. These counties, comprising 60% of the state\u2019s harvested acres and 67% of all crop sales, also have higher pesticide use rates than the overall state average.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12150\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12150\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-08-at-10.43.32-AM.png?resize=650%2C397&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-08-at-10.43.32-AM.png?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-08-at-10.43.32-AM.png?resize=300%2C183&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12150\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 2 from page 9 of the report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The report notes that California leads the country in both heat illness prevention and protection for workers and in pesticide regulation\u2014important in a state with as many as 800,000 farmworkers.

It is also documented that climate change leads to increased pesticide use due to insect pest, weed and pathogen ranges shifting and expanding, and increased pesticide volatilization (the process of pesticides turning into air vapor) which increases pesticide exposure not only for workers but also agricultural communities. Further, increased heat can increase the toxicity of some classes of pesticides.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/climate-change-exacerbates-health-risks-to-farmworkers\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"es","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/climate-change-exacerbates-health-risks-to-farmworkers\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"es","@id":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/climate-change-exacerbates-health-risks-to-farmworkers\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Banner-ClimateEquity.jpg?fit=1600%2C575&ssl=1","contentUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Banner-ClimateEquity.jpg?fit=1600%2C575&ssl=1","width":1600,"height":575,"caption":""},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/climate-change-exacerbates-health-risks-to-farmworkers\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Climate Change Exacerbates Health Risks to Farmworkers"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/#website","url":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/","name":"CalCAN - Red de Clima y Agricultura de California","description":"Red de Clima y Agricultura de California","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"es"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/#\/schema\/person\/379f228e7ae844086cc12c84f1b54d92","name":"Becca Lucas","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"es","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/2e8a6be12fc9426feb210a6d6a0b6229682132b1c11b8a5db82d71838321520d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/2e8a6be12fc9426feb210a6d6a0b6229682132b1c11b8a5db82d71838321520d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/2e8a6be12fc9426feb210a6d6a0b6229682132b1c11b8a5db82d71838321520d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Becca Lucas"},"sameAs":["http:\/\/Calclimateag.org"],"url":"#molongui-disabled-link"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Banner-ClimateEquity.jpg?fit=1600%2C575&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pap9il-39W","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":18853,"url":"https:\/\/calclimateag.org\/es\/farmworker-leaders-advocate-change-sacramento\/","url_meta":{"origin":12148,"position":0},"title":"L\u00edderes agr\u00edcolas de todo el Estado abogan por el cambio en Sacramento","author":"CC Ciraolo","date":"julio 19, 2024 11:05 am","format":false,"excerpt":"In this blog, we\u2019re highlighting the work of L\u00edderes Campesinas, an organization that focuses on strengthening farmworker advocacy and well-being, which is a also priority of CalCAN's efforts to create a resilient, just and healthy agricultural system.
