孟加拉国的拆船厂 SHIP DEMOLISHING FACTORY IN BANGLADESH
Chittagong’s ship breaking industry is very important in providing almost 80% of the steel requirements in Bangladesh. Ship Breaking Yards emerged as an industry in Bangladesh after 1985 and over the last two decades it ha
s flourished as a large industry. Today there are nearly fifty yards and it is a growing industry. By the late 20th century, ship breaking took place in port cities of industrialized countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. Today, most ship breaking yards are in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India, due to lower labour costs and less stringent environmental regulations regarding the disposal of lead paint, toxic fumes, asbestos and other hazardous materials. Due to the highly profitable business of ship demolition, the industry is rapidly growing in locations such as Bangladesh with severe consequences for the coastal belt which is heavily polluted. Thousands of workers mostly aged 14-30 years old work at this demolishing factory. They work inhuman for the whole day and are paid approximately $1.50 per day. The highly polluted coastal belt is now an alarming threat to the environment. 孟加拉国吉大港的拆船业提供了孟加拉所需80%的钢材。由于低工资，以前在英国和美国的拆船业主要转移到印度、巴基斯坦和孟加拉，成为快速增长的工业，给当地造成严重污染。14-30岁的工人在非人的工作环境中常年每天只挣1.5美金。
