Child waste pickers in India: the occupation and its health risks

Caroline Hunt

Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine at St. Mary's, Norfolk Place, London W2 1PG. Tel: (44) 171 725 1501; fax: (44)171 262 9722 c.hunt{at}ic.ac.uk

This paper describes the health risks to which waste pickers are exposed in their work (and often in their homes). It then presents the findings of a study on the health problems of a group of 100 children living in informal settlements in Bangalore (India) in which the health problems of those who work as waste pickers were compared to those who do not.
