Dhaka's air quality 'moderate'

Dhaka's air quality continued to be in the 'moderate' zone on Friday, reports UNB.
With an air quality index (AQI) score of 66 at 9:06 am, Dhaka ranked 25th on the list of cities worldwide with the worst air quality.
An AQI between 50 and 100 is considered 'moderate' with an acceptable air quality. However, there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Indonesia's Jakarta, Pakistan's Lahore and Chile's Santiago occupied the first three spots on the list, with AQI scores of 158, 156 and 153, respectively.
An AQI between 101 and 200 is considered 'unhealthy', particularly for sensitive groups.
Similarly, an AQI between 201 and 300 is said to be 'poor', while a reading of 301 to 400 is considered 'hazardous', posing serious health risks to residents.
