October 13, 2022, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh, carry piles of bricks weighing more than 15 kg on their heads as they are laid out ahead of being baked in a kiln. The labourers â€“ who are paid less than Â£1 a shift â€“ move up to 1, 500 bricks a day in sweltering conditions. Around 4, 00, 000 low-income migrants arrive in Dhaka from different parts of the country every year to work at brickfields. Long working hours under the scorching sun in the brick fields, massive accumulation of dust, the risk of falling from the trucks and piles of bricks, and carrying excessive loads pose serious health hazards for the workers. Brick kilns emit toxic fumes containing large amounts of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and oxides of Sulphur which are extremely harmful to the eyes, lungs and throat and causes environmental degradation, contributing 30%-50% of the < 2.5 micron Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) in the air.
