There might be a 'super polluter' nearby?

By the way Bangkok is not 'too bad', if you

compare it with the North.

I would really appreciate a

'photo of a group of people gathering in a cockfighting ring in the province' Chumphon.

Any 'a-social mediatrists'?

What goes on here, no comments?

Cockfighting is illegal.

Barbaric, stupid etc. too.

India and China much worse, only two days later.

The burning has to stop.

Absolutely OK,  spidermike007.

Thanks for the post. - I agree completely.

We all know, burning is ONE of MANY causes for

particulate matter in the air. - But what you're

suggesting would be even for him a difficult task:

There is no perspective? 

OK, sometimes it's the farmers.

But the other 75% ?

I am afraid you are right.

Except there is a miracle like this:

Air pollution in China has surprisingly decreased.

Good question.

*  Then a night at a house in Ton Thongchai subdistrict

*  wedding in Ban Huay Sai village

No idea where this might be...

No easy task.

Which average dust level? 

Thailand is more than Bangkok.

This is Chiang Mai tonight, 21:00

And that Chiang Rai, same time.

Now Bangkok, 21:00 too.

Under aqi 300 it is still tolerable and not considered risky.

Very interesting.

There are different limits worldwide,

but AQI 300 is 'Very Unhealthy' everywhere.

Just have a look -  eg.  https://aqicn.org/here

or   https://www.airnow.gov/aqi/aqi-calculator/  

AQI 300  ~  250 ug/m3

What standard do you use for your basis of good or bad? 

Thanks for your question, Mr. VocalNeal.

Is there any standard anywhere for good and bad?

You are  referring to this picture?

There are so many sophisticated sensors these days all over the world

and so many different models to calculate, to represent, that you must

decide for yourself, what to accept, what to trust, what's good, what's bad.

'bad'

Under the given circumstances (what is feasible in TH?)

50 to 60 ug/m3 PM2.5 or AQI 137 to AQI 153 is bad till very bad.

Everything above I usually call crazy.

Even if you usually can't see or smell the air pollution.

There are different limits all over the world. I would prefer US standards, 

better than EU or Thailand, while China seems to be the bad boy.

Please have a look at the decreasing ug/m3–PM2.5-numbers over

19 years in the US. -  Thailand will never reach this goal.

At least not in my lifetime.

https://www.epa.gov/air-trends/particulate-matter-pm25-trends

To add:  US 'National Sstandard'  ~ 12ug/m3   that means an   AQI  50.

People often confuse the names/units.

You're so right, China and India have a lot of particulate matter to give away.

But it's just the beginning.
