Dhaka's air quality now 'moderate'

Dhaka's air quality has turned 'moderate', all thanks to monsoon showers in different parts of the country, reports UNB.
With an air quality index (AQI) score of 56 at 09:08 am on Saturday, the metropolis ranked 41st in the list of world cities 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.
Saudi Arabia's Riyadh, Indonesia's Jakarta and Kuwait's Kuwait City occupied the first three spots in the list, with AQI scores of 303, 170 and 168, respectively.
An AQI between 101 and 200 is considered 'unhealthy', particularly for sensitive groups.
