flag Researchers study heat risks for California farmworkers using sensors to guide safety policies amid climate change.

flag Researchers at San Diego State University are studying extreme heat in California’s Imperial Valley to protect farmworkers, using wearable sensors and environmental monitors on about 300 workers. flag The study, focused on rural heat islands and heat stress risks, tracks core temperature, heart rate, and conditions like humidity and sun exposure. flag Workers like Raul Cruz start shifts at 4 a.m. to avoid peak heat, but rising temperatures still pose serious health threats. flag Findings aim to inform policies and safety measures in response to climate change, which is increasing heat intensity in agricultural regions.
