Khulna's air quality reflects the flat Bangladesh Rupsha River delta position at 3 metres adjacent to the Sundarbans mangrove reserve, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the ship breaking, jute processing, and vehicle density corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and heavy metals. The Bay of Bengal monsoon provides wet season cleansing, while the dry season northeast monsoon concentrates industrial emissions and Khulna generally maintains moderate to elevated Bangladeshi southwestern industrial port readings throughout most of the year.
