Experts believe that brick kilns contribute significantly to air pollution by producing very harmful emissions.
The government has also urged these brick kilns to use modern technology. The hazardous fumes from kilns are not only an environmentally good adversary of air pollution, but they also pose a threat to human life.
Young children working in kilns, in particular, face serious risks. It is unfortunate that youngsters working in brick kilns in Pakistan are among the most vulnerable and exploited laborers in the country.
Despite being the most affected by environmental and air pollution, they face long hours of hard work in hazardous conditions, low earnings, debt slavery, a lack of education, food shortages, health issues, and human rights violations.
Child labor is a global problem that deprives children of their fundamental rights. It impedes their development. Children spend their childhood days in kilns rather than receiving an education and enjoying their childhood.
Most of the youngsters in the kilns are malnourished. Children who work are more likely to be malnourished, which leads to stunted growth, impaired immune systems, and a higher risk of disease.
