Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1.6, University of London, course: Waste and Pollution, language: English, abstract: Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies in South Asia. Caused by decades of rapid economic growth, Bangladesh grapples with a severe waste and pollution problem. The entire country, but in particular its capital, are subject to fast unplanned urbanization and population growth. Today, with almost 24 million people, Dhaka represents one of the biggest metropolitan areas worldwide. Given the pace of development, the local infrastructure, traditional methods for production and construction and waste management, in combination with insufficient policies are not fit-for-purpose. Almost the entire population of Bangladesh lives in bad air, with the central part of the country, including Dhaka, being the most polluted. Given its population density, Dhaka faces the culmination of the national problems like a magnifying glass and as a result, it has become one of the most polluted cities worldwide. Following a description of the issue of air pollution in Dhaka, part 1 of this essay examines the main environmental and social consequences, as well as the effectiveness of current policy implementation, in light of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. This section of the essay also sheds some light on the key stakeholders in relation to the severe air pollution issue. Part 2 presents a range interventions to address the problem from various angles in order to achieve a sustainable improvement of air quality. The conclusion at the end synthesizes previous thoughts and provides suggestions for further research on the matter. An indicative questionnaire is furthermore presented in Appendix III, with the objective to guide qualitative interviews with users of the Dhaka transportation system. The gathered information is deemed useful for decision-makers who aim at greening Dhaka’s transportation sector.

Air pollution from traffic sources is considered to be a major environmental challenge the burgeoning metropolitan cities of the developing nations confront today.Like other mega-cities in the developing countries, air pollution has emerged as a serious problem in the Dhaka city. Dhaka, one of the largest mega cities of the world, is also faced with serious air pollution problem due to rapid growth of vehicles in recent times. This study mainly concentrated on two issues of air quality in Dhaka city and contribution of vehicles emission. The maximum and minimum SO2 and CO concentration is 24 ppb & 3 ppb and 0.5 ppb & 0.2ppm respectively which remain below acceptable limit (30ppb& 35ppb). The major contribution of this air pollution in Dhaka is coming from the complex vehicles fleet. It reveals from this study that a total of 1213.76 ton of various kinds of pollutants emit from the vehicles fleet in the Dhaka city every day. The tests revealed that old diesel run vehicles are the worst polluters that contribute mostly in the rise of particulate matter in the ambient air of the city.

Abstract: "In this paper the authors investigate individuals' exposure to indoor air pollution. Using new survey data from Bangladesh, they analyze exposure at two levels--differences within households attributable to family roles, and differences across households attributable to income and education. Within households, they relate individuals' exposure to pollution in different locations during their daily round of activity. The authors find high levels of exposure for children and adolescents of both sexes, with particularly serious exposure for children under 5. Among prime-age adults, they find that men have half the exposure of women (whose exposure is similar to that of children and adolescents). They also find that elderly men have significantly lower exposure than elderly women. Across households, they draw on results from their previous paper (Dasgupta and others, 2004), which relate pollution variation across households to choices of cooking fuel, cooking locations, construction materials, and ventilation practices. They find that these choices are significantly affected by family income and adult education levels (particularly for women). Overall, the authors find that the poorest, least-educated households have twice the pollution levels of relatively high-income households with highly-educated adults. For children in a typical household, pollution exposure can be halved by adopting two simple measures--increasing their outdoor time from 3 to 5 or 6 hours a day, and concentrating outdoor time during peak cooking periods. The authors recognize that weather and other factors may intervene occasionally, and that child supervision outdoors may be difficult for some households. However, the potential benefits are so great that neighbors might well agree to pool outdoor supervision once they became aware of the implications for their children's health. This paper--a product of the Infrastructure and Environment Team, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to study environmental health issues in developing countries"--World Bank web site.

"Indoor air pollution (IAP) from cooking and heating is estimated to kill a million children annually in developing countries. To promote a better understanding of IAP, the authors investigate the determinants of IAP in Bangladesh using the latest air monitoring technology and a national household survey. The study concludes that IAP is dangerously high for many poor families in Bangladesh. Concentrations of respirable airborne particulates(PM10) 300 ug/m3 or greater are common in the sample, implying widespread exposure to a serious health hazard.
