PM2.5 so high and dumb people still need to smoke on top of that

Well said.

For me PM seems to be at the same level as former Monsanto, Bayer and Syngenta.

I love them both.

Sorry, less bad.

Hope this helps.

Ensure the next generation are committed to saving their environment by enabling alternative ways to burning crops

You're so right.

It's one task of so many.

And we shouldn't forget the next generation in Shan State or Laos PDR and ...

Here are daily air quality data (Oct. 2014 - March 2020) from Bergamo, Lombardia.

Bergamo seems to be the center of the Covid-catastrophe in Italy.

I'm sure that the bad air is not the only reason for this development, but of course,

there might a context.

You can compare this picture with the historical air quality data of your place.

It's to find via   https://aqicn.org/here

Concerning Bangkok,                                                   Today, March 19  2020

I wouldn't say an AQI 53 to 114 in Bangkok is a good thing (13 ug/m3 to 41 ug/m3),

but up North an AQI 157 to 294 (67 ug/m3 to 244 ug/m3 or more)

is a bit different. Today up to AQI 412 - .

And this is the wider Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai Area.

Same Same.  -  Since several days.

What is the responsible Government in Bangkok going to do?

Not responsible for the particulate matter-thing, PM2.5?

[We're so busy with Covid, sorry.]

If you will do nothing in the PM2.5 matter I hope that the evil ghosts will visit you

and all of your greedy friends this night or tomorrow and each night in the future.

P.S. Dear Mr Prayut, if you should read this.

Perhaps you didn't have any idea about the situation up North?

So, sorry.

Here is only one link:

https://www.greenpeace.org/southeastasia/press/3239/a-haze-free-asean-by-2020-are-we-there-yet/

You are by heart invited to read these posts on this website - Thaivisa - too.

Would be a good idea too to come and take a deep breath 

somewhere between CM and CR, OK, not only for a minute ...

Thank You , Mr Prime Minister and Take Care, of Yourself

and this beautiful country with its wonderful people.

Yes, but since two or three days we're lucky being in Phrae.

The d!rt starts at Lampang, ending / beginning

up north somewhere in the Shan States.

Very bad for humans (and animals/plants?) in the CM/Cr area.

These are only a few of the many ideas out there. Not too difficult to put into place. Advertising on TV, internet and radio will be free using government funded media. The rest are government employees only. However ......... where is the earning potential for the government in all of this?  no where, hence it won't be done!  End of.

That's the point.

Thanks,  Mr quietman.
