===Environmental pollution=== Not only workers are impacted by sweatshops, but the neighboring environment as well, through lax environmental laws set up in developing countries to help reduce the production cost of the fashion industry. Clothing manufacturing is still one of the most polluting industries in the world. Nevertheless, the environment of developing countries remained deeply polluted by untreated waste. The [[Buriganga River]] in Bangladesh is now black and pronounced biologically dead because neighbouring leather tanneries are discharging more than 150 cubics of liquid waste daily. (Stanko, 2013)<ref>{{cite web |last=Stanko |first=N. |date=2013 |title=Sweatshops |work=Greeniacs Nation |access-date=October 31, 2017 |url=http://www.greeniacs.com/GreeniacsArticles/Consumer-Products/Sweatshops.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107011248/http://www.greeniacs.com/GreeniacsArticles/Consumer-Products/Sweatshops.html |archive-date=November 7, 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The daily life of local people is significantly affected as the [[Buriganga River]] is their source of bathing, irrigation and transportation. Many workers in the tanneries suffer from serious skin illnesses since they are exposed to toxic chemicals for a long time. Air is being highly polluted in such areas because the factories do not install proper ventilation facilities. Sweatshops are also an environmental issue as it is not only the human right of labour but also their living environment.
