April 17 - I

It's getting better.

No matter how long it takes...

                   ***************

April 17

Phrae  10:00   AQI 93

          *************

A fast 'thanks' to you and your thoughts.

But, please don't take 'your' PowerPlant and their values too seriously.

There is so many dirt in the air, from Afghanistan to Japan,

from India to Mongolia, China etc.

The work should/must begin there first.

In the meantime? Duck and Cover?

Close doors and windows etc.

Everybody is responsible for it's own health?

I have great pity on the people who can't afford things like an air purifier

or a PM2.5-reader.

Hope you're well.

April 16-II

North of Phrae this night 77 ug/m3 - this means an

AQI about 160 (see pics for private use)  -  Good?

April 16-I

All the red marks are hospitals.

Strange. So many sick?

Why do you think the reading was so high in that area yesterday, but not today?

Interesting question.

I think there might be several causes? Depends amongst other things how high the power plant chimneys might be, the wind speed, the exact wind direction at a given date etc.

Or, the stuff they were burning. Or, one day they were burning from 8 to 5, the next day?

Only some thoughts. A professional might give you a better answer?

But, what do you think?

April 16

Mostly red, some orange and a bit yellow

April 15-I

Not good, but getting better every day.

Just to compare:

where the South Bangkok Power Plant is located?

It's not so difficult to find?

https://www.egat.co.th/en/information/power-plants-and-dams?view=article&id=40

'The South Bangkok project was originally a thermal power plant

fueled with bunker oil. Later when natural gas was discovered in

the Gulf of Thailand, the modification was made for the power plant

to be combined cycle using natural gas instead of bunker oil.'

You should be glad you're not living near Lampang or Tak.

These are lignite fired power plants (Mae Moh/Mae Sot).

Another quality than natural gas...

                  ***********************

' winds blowing North? '

At this moment they seem to blow constantly from East with 3 - 4 mph

in 10, 100 and 250 m above ground level.
