Discover the myths surrounding air pollution in Bangladesh and its real health impacts.

Dhaka has ranked fourth on the list of cities worldwide with the worst air quality with an AQI score of 167 at 8:56am today

Bangladesh’s air was the worst in the world last year and it was 15 times worse than the minimum set by the World Health Organisation guideline.

The government has recently launched a 'real-time air quality index' program, which will provide up-to-the-minute information on the air quality across the country. The initiative, led by the Department of Environment, aims to inform the public about the health implications of varying pollution levels while fostering proactive measures to control and mitigate air pollution.

Air pollution is responsible for about 20 percent of the total premature deaths in Bangladesh, says a World Bank report.

Dhakaiites were greeted with clearer-than-usual weather today as the air quality in Dhaka has improved significantly following two days of rainfall in the last week. According to the U.S. Embassy air quality monitor, the AQI (Air Quality Index) at 12 PM today was at 57, the lowest it has been in the last month.

Dhaka's air quality continues to be in the “moderate” zone today (August 11, 2022), all thanks to intermittent monsoon showers.

Air pollution still remains one of the top-most challenges for Bangladesh. Capital city Dhaka’s air has been ranked the third most polluted in the world this morning (August 2, 2022).

Air quality is improving in countries under coronavirus quarantines, experts say, but it is far too early to speak of long-term change.

All schools in Delhi and satellite cities of Noida and Gurugram have been ordered shut for two days as the air quality in the Indian capital again slipped into the severe category.

Starting 8:00am, the Delhi government has implemented the "odd-even" traffic rationing scheme as air pollution levels in the city reach apocalyptic levels, reports NDTV.

Dhaka ranked second worst in the Air Quality Index (AQI) yesterday.
