Bangladesh air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 45 cities Airleaf measures in Bangladesh average AQI 123 (unhealthy for sensitive groups). The worst air is in Sonārgaon, at AQI 164, and the cleanest in Narsingdi, at AQI 133. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 152 across 9 cities. 67% of the 45 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 11% have Good air.

Sonārgaon, at AQI 164 (Unhealthy) on the US EPA index. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.

Narsingdi, at AQI 133 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Bangladesh has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 5 cities are Good, 10 cities are Moderate, 9 cities are Unhealthy for sensitive groups, 19 cities are Unhealthy, 2 cities are Very unhealthy. At the national average of AQI 123: Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.

About 263,000 ha from 2001 to 2025, 14% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 49,400 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Bagerhat, with 76.9% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
