The poisonous breathing environment evolved due to constant air pollutants in Bangladesh that claimed between 78,145 and 88,229 lives in 2019, according to a World Bank report released Sunday in Dhaka.
Ambient air pollutants put everyone from the young to the elderly at risk, the World Bank said, adding that air pollutants accounted for between 3. 9% and 4. 4% of the country’s GDP in the same year.
Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, ranked as the most polluted city of the moment in the world from 2018 to 2021, with an increase in respiratory difficulties, cough, lower respiratory infections, depression and other health problems.
The main structure and persistent traffic in Dhaka have the point of air pollution, averaging 150% above WHO air quality guidelines, according to the report.
The report “Breathing Heavy: New Evidence on Air Pollution and Health in Bangladesh” also assessed the effects of air pollutants on physical and intellectual health.
“A 1% accumulation in PM2. 5 (particulate matter) exposure above WHO air quality standards (AQG) is linked to a greater than 20% likelihood of being depressed,” the report says.
Worsening of the situation
Abdus Salam, a chemistry professor at Dhaka University who has worked with and studied the country’s air pollutants for two decades, believes the number of deaths from air pollutants may be much higher than the U. N. lender mentions.

“About a decade ago, Bangladesh took action and reduced air pollution, but now it has gotten worse,” he told Anadolu Agency.
Government agencies are not taking effective and visual action on the situation, he added.
“Brick kilns contribute 12 to 13 percent of air pollutants, while fuel emissions from vehicles, exposed structure activities and transboundary air pollutants are among the main reasons for poorer air quality in Dhaka and other parts of the country,” he said.
Air pollutants are also transported to the city of Dhaka via other routes from countries such as India and Nepal, Salam said, suggesting the use of well-refined fuels in cars and diplomatic efforts to cross the border with air pollution.
“Tackling air pollutants is critical to the country’s sustainability, expansion and development,” said Dandan Chen, World Bank Acting Director for Bangladesh and Bhutan.
“Air pollutants cause climate replacement, and climate substitution worsens air quality. Over time, climate replacement and urbanization will further accentuate air pollutants,” said report leader and World Bank fitness specialist Wameq Azfar Raza.
The fitness industry wants to be well prepared to deal with the looming fitness crisis resulting from air pollutants and climate change, Raza suggested.
On Friday, the World Bank approved $250 million in financing to help Bangladesh control the environment and inspire private sector participation in green investments.
