Toxic City: I Photographed People Working In Bangladesh Factors

ADVERTISEMENT

People from the southern part of Bangladesh are the victims of climate change. The climate change results in making them to move to the capital. These migrated people work in factories which are polluting the environment. Many factories produce smoke containing toxic chemicals which may cause breathing problem. They also release chemicals in the nearest river or pond. Migrated workers work for 24 hours a day and 15 days in a month. They hardly get chance to visit their relatives in village. Working under this circumstance they get asthma or other breathing problems.. 

They do not have any safe protection from the gas or dust.Children also have to travel with their families as they shift their houses. They hardly get chance to go to school but they are bound to help their families with part time working by earning extra money. Some of the children already have breathing problem. Children, living in this toxic area, very soon will have mental illness.

Is this a crude recycling plant? I focus on zero waste to prevent waste instead of recycling it. People don't realize how polluting recycling plants are. Great work! But is there a typo in the title? Meant to say 'Factory'?
