Waste Pickers’ Health Risk Mapping

Studies with waste pickers have identified several issues
that affect the health and well-being of workers in waste

from exposure to dangerous materials, insalubrious
workplace conditions, propensity for accidents,
muscular pain caused by repetitive movements and
even problems related to interpersonal relations and
organizational processes.
