Bangladesh's capital was ranked third worst in Air Quality Index (AQI) on Monday morning, reports UNB.
Dhaka had a score of 197 at 9:00 am, which means the city's air quality was classified as unhealthy.
Vietnam's Hanoi and India's Delhi were at the top of the list with scores of 245 and 199 respectively.
When the AQI value is between 151 and 200, every city dweller may begin to experience health effects. Members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects in this situation.
