Building structures and major construction works are booming in the urban areas of Bangladesh to keep up the rapid urbanization
rate. Brick is an essential construction material for its building industries. To meet the need of construction, brickfields are growing
sporadically here and there at the fringe zones and within the urban regions. Eventually, brickfields are producing major environmental
pollutants. This paper highlights existing technologies of brick manufacturing as well as their emission which exceeds the tolerable limit and
puts a threat to the environment. Treatise is also portrayed regarding techniques which could help minimizing the drawback of existing brick
kiln technologies. Vertical Shaft Brick kiln might be an alternative solution for the small investors in Bangladesh which is energy efficient and
can minimize the air pollution to achieve a sustainable environment.
