Dhaka's air is dangerous due to pollution!

Due to climate change and increasing air pollution, various cities in the world are rising to the top of the pollution list. Among them, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is currently known as one of the most polluted cities.

According to information received from the international air quality technology company IQAir at around 9:30 am on Wednesday, Dhaka's Air Quality Index (AQI) score was 490, which has taken the air quality to the 'hazardous' level.

The Switzerland-based air quality monitoring company IQAir analyzes the air quality of cities around the world every day and publishes a pollution list. The AQI score helps determine human health risks by providing information about air quality.

Experts say the presence of particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers per cubic meter in the air is important in determining air quality.
