Lead Pollution

DHAKA, BANGLADESH. Juli 2013. Worker remove the lead slag with a scoop, without any safety protection. the lead dust is verry danger. The most common route of lead exposure caused by lead smelting is through inhalation or ingestion of lead dust, particles, or exhaust from the burning process. Workers in the smelting factories are particularly at risk, as they can be exposed to prolonged and direct inhalation of gaseous emissions and dust. Particles and ash containing lead can also be blown into nearby towns or onto agricultural fields, which can contaminate livestock and crops. Jonathan Raa / Nurphoto
