Dhaka's air quality turns 'moderate'

Sunday, 20 August 2023


Dhaka's air quality was in the 'moderate' zone on Saturday morning.
With an air quality index (AQI) score of 90 at 9:04 am, Dhaka ranked 16th on the list of cities worldwide with the worst air quality, reports UNB.
Indonesia's Jakarta, Pakistan's Lahore and Iraq's Baghdad occupied the first three spots on the list, with AQI scores of 156, 139 and 134 respectively.
An AQI score between 50 and 100 is considered 'moderate' with acceptable air quality. However, there may be a health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
