The most popular building material used to create buildings and other structures in Bangladesh is brick. Brickfields have sprung up all throughout the nation to provide brick locally. Brick manufacture has an influence on the environment, society, biology, and seasons. The method of making bricks has a growing negative impact on pollution. Year due to the growing number of brick kilns and brick manufacturing. An study has been conducted to assess the overall effects of brick production process on the environment and public health. We concentrated on the possible burden on theenvironment, which includes depletion of resources, contamination of the air, water, and soil, as well as negative impacts on agricultural output and human health. Through in-situ observations, questionnaire surveys, and interviews, the brick production stages of 15 brick fields are evaluated. In order to evaluate the safety concerns and poor management, we also concentrated on the Brickfields' management system. We also looked for a relationship between the impact of mismanagement and the environment on the brick-making process. According to the main conclusions of our investigation, a few suggestions are made to lessen the issues. The use of recycled and eco-friendly bricks, kiln systems that have been adapted, alternative fire technologies, training initiatives, and a secure workplace are among the primary recommendations.
