What is the air pollution situation in Dhaka?
0 views
Dhaka frequently ranks among the most polluted cities in the world for air quality. Major pollution sources include vehicle emissions (especially old diesel vehicles), brick kilns around the city, construction dust, industrial emissions, and waste burning. PM2.5 levels often exceed WHO safe limits by several times, especially in winter. The government has taken steps like banning high-sulfur coal and promoting zigzag brick kiln technology. Residents are advised to wear masks and use air purifiers during high-pollution periods.
