| Abstract | The health effects related to heat have a high impact on the farming population because it is their only work environment where they can acquire serious illnesses and even death, for which these workers have developed mitigation strategies to improve their conditions labor. Objective. Determine the implications for workers' health caused by thermal exposure cultures are. Methodology. A systematic review in different scientific databases and data were collected in an array in Excel for further analysis data was performed. Results. Temperatures were taken directly 14.6% above 35°C, however, most indirect measurements were performed in a qualitatively and 65.9% of which are related to the thermal perception of workers. The skin lesions were 34.1% of all reported health effects and the main mitigation measure used by farmers is hydration with water with 31.7% of the articles reviewed. Conclusion. Exposure to high temperatures has implications on the health of workers who may become severe enough to cause cancerous skin lesions, burns, heat stroke and even death. However, many workers have adopted strategies to counter the effects of sun exposure on agricultural crops. |
