<Summary of the Information>

Surveys and researches in Asian region are planned to be conducted to investigate health risks of children and youth working at brick kilns and related enterprises. ILO and other related organizations hope to establish countermeasures.

We are probing if there is any interest in research organizations/universities in Japan to co-operate with such surveys, especially to measure indoor air contamination. Travel expenses and necessary costs will be covered. Expression of interest would be highly appreciated.
