BHRF Climate & Health Working Group

A four-page reference for reporters covering air-quality stories — sources, monitoring methodology, common claim pitfalls, and a glossary.

A short, citable reference compiled from DGHS, the Department of Environment, IQAir, and peer-reviewed estimates of attributable mortality. The fact sheet explains how PM2.5 monitoring works in practice in Dhaka, what claims are and aren't defensible from current data, common reporting pitfalls (e.g. conflating annual and daily averages), and a glossary of recurring terms.
