Between 1992 and 2016 nearly 70,000 workers in the U.S. suffered serious health consequences due to environmental heat exposure. But that could be an undercount due to the unknown number of undocumented workers who suffer exposure in construction and farm jobs. Farmworkers are 20 times more likely to die from heat than the average worker, the highest mortality rate related to environmental heat for any job in any industry in the country.
