Dhaka's air quality improves after rains.
Dhaka was ranked 69th in the Air Quality Index (AQI) with a score of 42 on Saturday morning
The air quality of Bangladesh's capital has improved significantly after two days of rain.
Dhaka was ranked 69th in the Air Quality Index (AQI) with a score of 42 at 8:30am on Saturday, reports UNB.
The air quality was classified as moderate.
Pakistan's Lahore and India's Delhi were at the top of the list of cities with worst air quality, scoring 231 and 185, respectively.
When the AQI value is between 51 and 100, the air quality is acceptable but children and people with respiratory disease are advised to limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
The air quality is categorized as good when the AQI score remains between 0-50.
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.
