Abstract
A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted over an approximately three-year period with sample collection events occurring March 13-21, 2023, March 17 – 23, 2024, and February 18 – 26, 2025. Samples were taken across 4 brick kilns in Bhaktapur, Nepal, including Kiln 1 in 2023, Kiln 2 in 2024, and Kilns 3 and 4 in 2025. Participants (N = 248) were recruited by convenience sampling from kiln 1 (n = 49), kiln 2 (n = 70), kiln 3 (n = 69), and kiln 4 (n = 60).
