Region: Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and the rapid industrialization and urbanization has resulted in severe air pollution problems, particularly in the major cities. Inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a significant public health concern in Bangladesh, and it is estimated to be responsible for over 100,000 premature deaths annually.
The primary sources of outdoor air pollution in Bangladesh are vehicular emissions, industrial emissions, and brick kilns. The country's transportation sector is growing rapidly, and the number of motor vehicles has increased significantly in recent years, leading to increased air pollution. Industrial activities, particularly in and around the capital city of Dhaka, also contribute significantly to air pollution. Additionally, traditional brick kilns are a significant source of air pollution in Bangladesh, as they emit large amounts of fine particulate matter and other pollutants.
The effects of exposure to PM2.5 on human health can range from respiratory and cardiovascular problems to lung cancer, stroke, and premature death. The elderly, children, and people with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the health effects of air pollution.
