Air pollution kills

Air pollution is a matter of serious concern in Bangladesh. As per a World Bank study, 15000 deaths (5000 in Dhaka) and a million cases of illness requiring medical treatment can be avoided annually if the air pollution level can be reduced. The same report estimates that Bangladesh could save between USD 200 to 800 million per year if air pollution in the country's four major cities was reduced.

Faulty vehicles, brick kilns and power plants are the main sources of smoke which causes pollution. Besides, smoking and using vinyl floor tiles or vinyl building siding, trim and windows put workers' health at risk during and after production. Alternatives must be used to avoid danger from these materials.
