Chittagong is a port city situated in the southern region of Bangladesh. Limited ambient air quality monitoring is carried out by the Department of Environment in Chittagong as part of the Department’s routine environmental monitoring program.
The Department of Environment is currently in the process of revising the ambient air quality standards. A proposal to adopt US NAAQS (primary standards only) as long term ambient air quality objectives has been approved by stakeholders and now in the final stage of approval. For lead in ambient air, the WHO guideline level will be adopted instead of the US NAAQS.
Bangladesh’s only oil refinery (Eastern Refinery of Bangladesh) Station is located in Chittagong. It is owned and operated by the government-owned Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation. Total capacity of the refinery is around 33,000 barrels per day.
