Anything below 150 is OK for normal people.

150 ug/m3 ~ AQI 200     

[Increased aggravation of heart or lung disease and premature mortality in persons with

cardiopulmonary disease and the elderly; increased respiratory effects in general population.]

AQI 150 ~ 55 ug/m3     

[People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children are the groups most at risk.]

So what?

Coroner says failure to reduce pollution levels to legal limits was factor in death of

Ella Kissi-Debrah, who had severe asthma. - I can understand that now.

... now sends its air pollution southwestward.

Dear Isaan sailor,

better wait till the pollution from India might arrive?

This year south of the himalayans there  seems to be

an enormous potential, I think much bigger than our

friends from NE.

But with the dams I'm on your side.

Covid, I don't know...

Stay out of trouble.

But of course it can't be the farmers burning fields...nahh....and also not them fuming buses in the city...no way....it must be from a neighbouring country, chai chai...

You might remember Pete Seeger:

To everything
There is a season 
And a time to every purpose, under heaven...

Of course it's multifactorial.

So many causes...

The only numbers I know of comes from India. 'farmers burning fields' are 25 %.

So you're absolutely right, 'fuming buses', 'neighbouring country(ies)' and all the others

(power plants, cement producers, construction sites, abrasion from tires and brake pads,

communal incineration, private burning etc.)

are only 75 %.

Today the whole north again worse than Bangkok.

Most of happy Isan green.

During the day today..

Almost nothing to say. Except, this is criminal.

Not only PM2.5  195, not only PM2.5  362.

The whole system, the people who allow or accept this.

We all? 

Just had a look/ forecast aqicn.org:

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
