Health Impact Of Air Pollution On Dhaka City By Different Technologies Brick Kilns

The main source of air pollution in Dhaka City is emissions from brick kilns. This study assessed the main factors that affect the city's air pollution levels, as well as the contribution of the different types of brick kilns located in different zones in Dhaka. The significance of air pollution variable and the health impact were examined and policy analysis with respect to kiln type was done. The specific variables analyzed were PM10, PM2.5, SOx, NOx, NO2, CO, and O3; of these only PM10 and PM2.5 exceeded the Bangladesh air quality standards and those prescribed under the World Health Organization air quality guidelines. The study found that vertical shaft brick kilns (VSBK) had the lowest PM10 and PM2.5 emissions, whereas…
