Chad is identified as the dirtiest country

A viral video shows people guessing India as the dirtiest country in the world, but the correct answer is Chad. The video, posted by YouTuber Sumon Kais, has gained over 300,000 views. The video features a man asking passersby about the dirtiest country, with many confidently naming India. However, a recent report from IQAir reveals that Chad has the highest pollution levels, significantly exceeding World Health Organization guidelines. In 2024, only seven countries met the WHO's air quality standards for PM 2.5 particles. Chad, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and India were among the most polluted countries, with PM 2.5 levels at least ten times higher than recommended limits.
