Dhaka Air Quality — Live AQI & Bangladesh Capital Forecast

Dhaka's extremely dense traffic and surrounding brick-kiln activity produce persistently high fine-particle pollution. Narrow street canyons and slow-moving congestion keep nitrogen dioxide and PM2.5 elevated near ground level through much of the day.

Dry-season dust and biomass burning add to winter peaks, while monsoon rainfall can sharply reduce particle concentrations for short periods. Rapid redevelopment across the metro continually resuspends soil and construction dust.

Hourly AQI tracking helps residents identify the least polluted hours for errands, commuting, and children's outdoor play. Masks and indoor air filtration become practical tools during sustained high-PM episodes.
