Dhaka has been ranked as the most polluted city in the world among 126 cities, according to Swiss-based air quality monitoring organization IQAir. As of Thursday morning, the Air Quality Index (AQI) score for Dhaka stood at 302, placing it in the 'hazardous' category. Several areas, including South Pallabi (374), Eastern Housing (354), Madani Avenue’s Base Edgewater (334), and Kalyanpur (304), recorded extremely poor air quality. Other zones like Grace International School in Gulshan (287) and Pirerbag Rail Line (202) were marked as 'very unhealthy.' The high pollution level is primarily due to excessive fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which was found to be over 27 times higher than the World Health Organization’s safe limit. Jahangirnagar University area in Savar recorded the country’s worst air quality with an AQI of 412, while Khulna also reported hazardous levels at 302. IQAir classifies AQI above 301 as dangerous for human health.
