Dhaka again ranks worst in Air Quality Index
GBNEWS24 DESK//
Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, has again ranked the worst in Air Quality Index (AQI) this morning.
According to Thursday’s reading, Dhaka had a score of 190 at 8:46am, indicating that the air quality was ‘unhealthy.’
Myanmar’s Yangon and China’s Chengdu occupied the second and third spots in the list of cities with the worst air quality with AQI scores of 183 and 182 respectively.
When the AQI value is between 150 and 200, everyone may begin to experience health effects.
The AQI, an index for reporting daily air quality, tells people how clean or polluted the air of a certain city is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for them.
Bangladesh’s overcrowded capital has been grappling with air pollution for a long time. The quality usually improves during monsoon.
