Salon: 70% of world's workers at elevated health risks due to climate change, #UN report finds
Presently there are roughly 18,970 people who are die every year on the job because of excessive #heat, more than 860,000 people who die from exposure to #airpollution and nearly 19,000 people who die from #NonMelanomaSkinCancer from exposure to #SolarRadiation. The authors even found that more than 26.2 million people suffer from #ChronicKidneyDisease because of workplace heat stress. They conclude that the world's countries will need to revise their labor protection laws to protect the working class.
