The Buriganga River flows past the southwest outskirts of Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. The Buriganga is so polluted that its water appears pitch black, except during the monsoon months, and emits a foul stench through the year. The chemical waste of mills and factories, household waste, medical waste, sewage, dead animals, plastics, and oil are some of the Buriganga's many pollutants.
