Dhaka has long been grappling with air pollution issues. Its air quality usually turns unhealthy during winter and improves during monsoon. With the advent of winter, the city's air quality starts deteriorating sharply due to the massive discharge of pollutant particles from construction works, rundown roads, brick kilns and other sources. Bangladesh’s overcrowded capital city has topped the list of cities with most polluted air.The city’s air was classified as “unhealthy” at 9.05am on December 29, 2023, with an AQI score of 186.
