If you want to know about the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Professor of Civil Engineering. Mohammad Zahir bin Alam said that the government law clearly states that there can be no brick kiln in any residential area and there is no question next to the children’s school.

And if this reactor is not at a height of one hundred and twenty feet, then carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (ESPIM) means that the dust enters the nervous system of children and will cause severe damage to the health of children. If there are trees in that area, it will be destroyed. And the biggest problem of brick kiln is that it completely destroys the growth of plants. Besides, it completely destroys the fertility of the land so that there will be no crops in the surrounding land. As long as the smoke from this brick kiln lasts for a short time or a long time, the inhalation of children will have an impact on their nervous system.
