Industrial Pollution

Portrait of Md. Altaf who works at a shipbreaking yard along the banks of the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on May 13, 2025. Using manual tools and sheer determination, they navigate hazardous conditions to salvage metal and other materials for reuse, highlighting the dangers and economic necessity of the industry. Thick plumes of smoke and the deafening clatter of metal fill the air around the shipbreaking yards, where environmental degradation and unchecked noise pollution paint a stark portrait of industrial sacrifice.
