Air Pollution In Dhaka
People walking as the garbage are burning beside a road in a park in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on December 18, 2019. Bangladesh, one of the most densely-populated countries in the world, has been struggling with air pollution for a long time, while Dhaka has continued to rank among the most polluted cities. The major sources of pollution, as per the study, are household solid fuels, dust from construction, coal power plants, brick production, transportation and diesel-powered equipment, among others. Air quality in Asia remained stubbornly poor; especially in Bangladesh, where the entire population has been exposed to PM2.5 levels above 35? G/m3 since 1990, according to the third annual State of Global Air report. (Photo by Mamunur Rashid/NurPhoto)
