Despite the typical air-cleansing effects of monsoon rains, Dhaka’s air quality remains alarmingly poor, frequently ranking among the world’s most polluted cities. This raises concerns as rainfall usually reduces dust and particulate matter. Experts attribute the continued pollution to the lack of control over primary pollution sources. While temporary improvements occur during rainfall, they are insufficient to significantly improve overall air quality. The ongoing issue suggests that addressing the root causes of pollution is crucial for lasting change. Authorities are facing pressure to investigate and implement effective measures to mitigate the problem and protect public health.
