Assessment of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding air pollution among traffic polices in Dhaka city, Bangladesh: a cross-sectional study
This study suggests that education, income, and work experience are likely influential factors shaping knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding air pollution. There appears to be a probable association between prolonged exposure to air pollution and an increased risk of respiratory, cardiovascular, and eye problems among Dhaka's traffic police. The authors anticipate that implementing stricter air quality regulations, promoting the use of protective gear, conducting regular health check-ups, and raising public awareness could significantly reduce these health risks.
