Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh: Birds swarm over a massive dumpyard on the outskirts of Dhaka, where mountains of waste and heavy machinery dominate the landscape. The landfill, a major source of environmental pollution, threatens nearby habitats and forces birds to forage dangerously close to toxic waste. To free up space, the city authorities often resort to burning solid waste, according to garbage collectors, releasing carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen compounds, ammonia, sulfides, and other hazardous gases into the air, not to mention the foul smell that envelops an area of at least three-square kilometres. Environmental experts warn that CH₄ emissions significantly contribute to global warming by trapping atmospheric heat. Furthermore, the black smoke produced from burning waste exacerbates air pollution, posing serious health risks to residents. Photo by Suvra Kanti Das/ABACAPRESS.COM

Palm Oil Fruits Illustrations - Indonesia

Collectors load palm-oil fruits onto a truck in Patumbak, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on June 3, 2025, highlighting their key role in connecting smallholders to processing plants within the palm oil supply chain. This activity reflects the dynamics of Indonesia’s palm oil sector, the world’s largest, accounting for over 50% of global production and exports. Driven by demand across food, cosmetics, soap, and biofuels, palm oil remains the most productive and competitive vegetable oil, with export volumes expected to stay strong in 2025 despite rising domestic consumption—underscoring the critical function of collectors in maintaining the flow from plantations to global markets.
