Vegetables grown on the outskirts of Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur are frequently irrigated with industrial effluent heavily contaminated with Lead, Cadmium, and Chromium from textile dyeing and tannery runoff. Chronic ingestion leads to severe nephrotoxicity and cognitive impairment in children.
