Overview

Comparative assessment reveals heavy metal contamination and health risks in Dhaka's tannery locations, indicating serious environmental concerns.

Key Points

  • Heavy metal concentrations in industrial areas exceed safety limits, leading to significant health risks.
  • Analysis showed chromium and cadmium levels in soils were alarmingly high, particularly at Hemayetpur.
  • Pollution indices indicated severe contamination, especially in areas related to industrial activities.
  • Health risks were primarily linked to dietary exposure, highlighting the urgency for effective pollution control measures.
