Air pollution represents a critical public health crisis in Bangladesh, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and widespread emissions from brick kilns, traffic, and biomass burning. Elevated levels of fine particulate matter and toxic gases across both urban and rural regions contributes to significant reductions in life expectancy and escalating respiratory disease burdens. Therefore, the present review aims to examine the role of fine/ultrafine particulate matter and hazardous gases in respiratory health outcomes among the Bangladeshi population to synthesize evidence that can inform public health policy.
Air pollution has emerged as one of the most consequential, yet historically under-examined, environmental health threats confronting the African continent, and integrated investment in clean energy transition, strengthened monitoring networks, and harmonised regional air quality governance represents an urgent and ach...

Background: Ambient particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) is a major environmental health risk contributing to global morbidity and mortality. Although its link with cardiovascular diseases is well established, evidence on the stroke burden attributable to PM2.5 exposure remains limited in Indonesia. Methods: This ecologi...
