Air Pollution and Workers’ Health in Cambodia’s Garment Sector
This policy brief, published by the Stockholm Environment Institute in March 2023, examines air pollution and its health impacts on workers in Cambodia's garment sector. Based on a study of 16 factories, it finds that while particulate matter levels generally complied with national standards and WHO guidelines on the day of assessment, there is a significant lack of worker awareness regarding air quality and its health risks. The document highlights the gendered nature of the workforce and recommends strengthening national air quality standards, improving gender-inclusive safety policies, and increasing worker education.
