Key Analytical Highlights

• Study Scope: Five schools in Dhaka city were monitored for air quality (PM2.5 and PM10).
• Monsoon Impact: Air quality improved significantly due to rainfall, showing lower particulate concentration.
• Student Health: Survey revealed fewer immediate health complaints, though risks remain for long-term exposure.
• WHO Comparison: Even with monsoon improvements, PM levels sometimes exceeded safe limits.
• Policy Insight: Reducing vehicle emissions and urban pollution is critical for long-term school safety.

Problem Statement  

Air pollution has an adverse impact on physical, social, and psychological wellbeing. Air pollution in different school and college areas are creating health risk for students. Air is very essential elements for our living. Air is polluted for many natural and anthropogenic causes. It also has an impact on student’s psychological health. In school areas air pollution are hampering students learning activities. The air in school and college buildings can include a variation of gaseous pollutants that might harmful for students’ health, including carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and others.

Research Question

The research question of the project can be

• What is the status of monsoon seasons air pollution level among different schools?
• How air pollution effects on student’s health?

Objectives of the Research

The main aim of this study is to assessing the air pollution characterization and health impacts in different schools in Dhaka city and also identifying its probable impacts among the students and teachers. The main objectives of this study are:

• Measure the Air pollution level in the selected school area.
• Compare the air pollution level among different school and college area.
• Identify probable health risk of air pollution among students.
• Assess the relationship among different schools and parameters (PM2.5 and PM10).

Conclusion

The World Health Organization (WHO) and Bangladeshi air quality standards have both been compared to the PM2.5 and PM10 concentration data related to air quality that was gathered from the five schools. Regarding the amounts of particulate matter pollution in school surroundings, the results show an alarming tendency. The data collected in the monsoon season so air quality was comparatively better. From this study we identify that monsoon air quality is better. Rainfall or precipitation has a great impact on air quality.

There is no way to completely eradicate air pollution. The need to lessen motor transportation’s detrimental effects on the environment is linked to the industry’s rapid development. The government ought to have started cleaning up the city sooner.
