Dhaka’s air quality remains ‘moderate’
City Desk :
Dhaka’s air quality continued to be in the ‘moderate’ zone this morning.
With an air quality index (AQI) score of 70 at 8:50 am, Dhaka today ranked 28th on the list of cities worldwide with the worst air quality, reports UNB.
An AQI between 50 and 100 is considered ‘moderate’ with an acceptable air quality. However, there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Doha of Qatar, Santiago of Chile and Kampala of Uganda occupied the first three spots on the list, with AQI scores of 162, 152 and 151, respectively.
