Excellent, if difficult, reporting from @BBCLBicker and our friends @DisasterTrade_ & @Blood_Bricks on the health impacts of excess heat in #Cambodia's brick kilns🧱⚕️
As the report notes, it's often #fastfashion waste from the #garment industry that fuels the kiln fires 👕🔥
Climate change and labour exploitation go hand in hand in the Cambodian brick sector
