To collect our classification, we will consider the data from Yale UniversityEnvironmental Performance Index (EPI). The arrangement of the expanded EPI immunization program includes important variables such as PM 2.5, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and others. This data was issued in 2024.
We will also use the air quality life index (Wise) Collected by Chicago University. Their latest translated data is since 2022, when they issued a report on the classification of countries of the world according to air quality. The AQLI No. 2.5 list, which measures the pollution of the exact particles in the air.
1. Nepal
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 6.1
PM 2.5: 39.18
Nepal has an unfortunate discrimination of the worst levels of air pollution in the world. Both air pollution and home air pollution are major problems in the country, which are behind development, effective regulations and infrastructure.
The accumulated accumulation of the micro -material in the air comes from a variety of sources: Nepal, the non -coastal site, between China and India, and mountainous terrain, creates natural “pollution ponds”, which focus some industrial and urban air pollution from these two countries.
Old vehicles, infrastructure, burning garbage and even dust from the catastrophic 2015 earthquake They are other dangerous factors.
2. Pakistan
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 6.3
PM 2.5: 38.9
The coming in second place is Pakistan, and it is the fifth most populated country in the world. With extensive, extensive urban centers and an advanced mixture of industrial and agricultural sectors, Pakistan has long struggled with environmental deterioration.
The surrounding air pollution comes from a group of sources: continuous emissions from vehicles and factories, seasonal agricultural practice (such as burning) and a mixture of weather and geographical location.
3. Bangladesh
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 6.3
PM 2.5: 54.17
Bangladesh participates in third place with several features with its neighbors, such as China and India.
It is populated, as a lot of recent population growth coincides with mass migration to cities. Rapid manufacturing and relaxing environmental standards in Bangladesh made home to some of the most polluted cities in the world, especially in terms of air quality.
Bangladesh also has great Brick industrySome of them consist of large industrial processes, some of them are small businesses or even family production. Heating these bricks means burning fossil fuels or other materials, all of which contribute to the problem of air pollution.
4. India
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 6.8
PM 2.5: 41.39
India’s struggle with air pollution unfortunately has become a symbol. A huge country – both in the ground mass and the population – is seen rapidly economic growth in recent decades, but unnecessary and in harmony environmental standards means that this growth comes a great cost, with some of the lowest air quality in the world.
Air pollution levels in India come from familiar sources now: in cities, there are many vehicles (especially those old whose emissions are particularly toxic) and many factories. In the country, the bad air comes from the fire: the scales are burned to prepare agricultural lands for the crop of next year, burn organic materials for heat and cooking, and even burning garbage.
While efforts have increased to reduce air pollution levels in India, progress was very slow.
5. The Democratic Republic of the Congo
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 8.1
PM 2.5: 34.20
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has the fifth air quality in the world. A country of amazing resources, it is also a tragic state of exploitation, both its people and its environment.
A large part of the poor internal air quality comes from wood stoves used by millions, and the surrounding air pollution is one of the familiar sources of densely populated cities, small mocked cars and unorganized heavy industry.
The terrible armed and chronic armed conflict also preserved the Democratic Republic of the Congo from stability, which would allow more environmentally conscious regulations and economic development. Experts have noticed the air quality long ago Being poor is a healthy dangerCountries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with relatively poor health results, show the correctness of this.
6. Rwanda
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 8.4
PM 2.5: 33.37
Rwanda, like its neighbor to the West (DRC), is struggling with both the surrounding air pollution and Internal pollutionOften from the same sources. Internal air pollution represents a special problem, as wood and coal cooking constitutes serious health risks, especially for young people, the elderly, pregnant women and anyone who suffers from poor health.
7. Myanmar
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 9.0
PM 2.5: 28.64
Myanmar, in Southeast Asia, is struggling with familiar forms of air pollution, familiar sources. It is another country in the midst of urbanization and increased manufacturing, and all the effects of these operations.
Myanmar’s neighbors do not help, either: they are surrounded by other countries that have the same problems or similar, and when the wind blows the wrong way, Myanmar is negatively affected.
8. Burundi
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 9.0
PM 2.5: 34.04
With Rwanda to the north and DNC to the west, the air quality in Burundi faces many of the same problems for its neighbors. Most of the population cooks on internal wood stoves, and even in the most intense urban areas, there is little adequate regulation of pollutants.
9. Lisuto
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 11.6
PM 2.5: 27.87
Lesothho is fully located in the country of South Africa, making it a technically in this country. Lesuto air pollution comes from a group of different factors, including burning trash, as well as emerging industries in the country.
Like many developing countries, the growth allowance often comes at the expense of sustainability and environmental safety.
10. The Republic of the Congo
Classification of the enlarged immunization program: 12.1
PM 2.5: 31.94
Yes, this is a different country from those who bear the number 5 in this list. Among the top ten are the Republic of the Congo, a country that is much smaller than the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
However, it is also struggling with air quality, and all related health risks that come from unhealthy air breathing.
