Methodology: Data were collected through interviews, discussion with programme personnel, field observations, and laboratory analysis of water and soil samples. Variables include (separately for each programme): process, activities, energy, chemical and material uses, waste generation and disposal, and observed health and environmental problems. Results: The major findings of the study were categorised under health effects and environmental assessment of the programme. Employees of different sections suffer from various health problems. These can be caused by direct or indirect exposure to environmental pollution and contamination. The most important concern for environmental and public health issues is the disposal of waste water and solid waste. Most of the chemicals found from laboratory analysis of waste water and sediment are persistent in nature and have long residual periods. The results of analysed chemical samples showed a higher value than the maximum allowable DoE (Department of Environment) standards for those chemicals. Conclusion: The results indicate that the health and environmental problem related to the programme is acute. Based on the findings, recommendations were made in the report to lessen environmental degradation and health hazards, and make the programmes more environmentally sustainable. Some monitoring criteria are also discussed in this report. 2019-12-26T04:37:38Z 2019-12-26T04:37:38Z 1998-03 Research report Akter, N., & Rahman, A. (1998, March).
