The air quality in the city of Dhaka has been extremely hazardous for public health for over 10 years as the government could not contain the sources of pollution despite taking various projects and plans.
According to greens and public health experts, the air quality score has remained four to seven times higher than the acceptable limit of 50 for most of the year for many years even after a Tk 802.25 crore clean air and sustainable environment project was implemented for the city.
