High levels of microplastic in salt: Reasons to be concerned
A recent research by Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU) has detected high levels of microplastic in the salt collected from 12 salt-producing sites in Cox's Bazar and Chattogram. What makes this even more alarming is the lack of awareness we have regarding this subject matter in Bangladesh.
A big cause for health concern
Arifun Nahar gave birth to her 3rd child on December 16 at a private hospital in Dhaka but her baby boy fell sick soon after and eventually died 28 days after birth. The cause of his sudden death was an otherwise harmless bacterium -- Klebsiella pneumoniae -- that turned deadly, possibly in hospital, by being resistant to 15 types of antibiotics.
