It could be worse.

Well, you're right. But today in Beijing it's primarily the leftover of a sand storm...

As a matter of fact already 'better'.

The main pollutant has been PM10. Not sooo dangerous.

the readings are even higher than those that I posted

Sorry, TigerandDog, I didn't have any doubt what you have written.

This night the PM2.5 numbers up north were decreasing, but the

whole last week was extremly bad, 'far too high'.

Thanks for the link. Almost brandnew from Phuket, Feb 2019.

And they still lock people up for VAPING????

Who/where/when/why?

Don't you think that's a different subject?

I don't know anyone who would have been locked up

for vaping or burning up north, that's too bad.

Usually take the wood for sale or making charcoal.

That's a good one.

Good for health and the PM2.5 numbers.

In our village each morning and each late afternoon these numbers are rising,

e.g. from 120 ug/m3  to  320 ug/m3. - Maipen rai?  -   It' s only about one hour...
