Air Quality Monitoring Crisis May Deepen: CREA
New Age | The suspension of the U.S.-funded AirNow monitoring program has cut off critical real-time air quality data in 44 countries, including Bangladesh, where cities like Dhaka frequently rank among the world’s most polluted. Experts warn that without this data, public health risk assessments, environmental policy decisions, and pollution response efforts are significantly undermined in nations with limited local monitoring capacity.
