They'd should be proactive

Please, how? When it's burning it is too late.

Tonight much 'better' for some areas? - I think so.

find the people setting the fires.

This might become a difficult task in Myanmar. Especially as there are

other 'problems' these days.  But it is a Cambodian phaenomenon too.

I close my eyes and count to ten ...

and we can breathe fresh, clean air again.

In any case, the numbers are

It's a big field with these readings... First, are you talking about Pm2.5 or AQI?

Then, different place and/or different time is crucial.

Better lean back, relax and have a look at some links.

take care all of you.

Thanks, GoldenTriangle.   -  There are millions surviving in this dirty air.

By the way, I'm not sarcastic. It's only my restricted code 'to perform'.

I think it's a beautiful part of the world

And so many great people. Millions? - They don't know what's going on.   

(some/most?) People in our village are laughing about my whimsy.

But Scotland or the Alps region might be an alternative to realise.

The people should be asking questions of the leadership.

Yes.

The THAI people.

Thanks for your comprehensive analysis, spidermike007.

Really, and from the heart.

One again: only the Thai people might succeed,

I suppose/I think/I could imagine...

We have a 1 % chance?

This is an old story.

you need someone, a wife, a girlfriend, a Thai friend even, to start a clean air movement that involves mostly Thais

This is the point. Well, well, well...

It's embarrassing but I have no skills to do so.

But thanks very much, Golden Triangle.

a massive forest fire in the southern end of the Doi Suthep - Pui National park burned out of control. 

I think, this is only one of the causes for the CM

air pollution.  -  At 18:00  looking northwest.

Very good air in Bangkok, almost like in a health resort,

if you compare it with Chiang Mai, Pai, Mae Hong Son.

Thais love burning anything

That is the basis.

Then I'll add an inversion to this and combine it with continuing replenishment from Myanmar. That's it.

Firemapper shows very clearly the situation west of the Thai-Myanmar border.

Cambodia is the other hotspot responsible for air pollution in Isaan.

'inversion'

But at such high levels, eyeballing even the 1hr figures works just fine.  ie It's definitely bad no matter which way you slice it. 

O.K.

March 8,  2021   9:00

If you look up north or down south...

today a bit different. Sometimes bad in the north,

sometimes bad around Bangkok or in Isaan. - In the

US there we can see a development, but in Thailand? 

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

By the way, for me the PM2.5 info is much more meaningful than the AQI numbers.

Table this morning at 9:00, first number PM2.5 ug/m3 - second number AQI

Interesting?

N Chiang Mai 

1470 peak

Even when it is 'only' PM10, this is far beyond Good and Evil.

We should/could compare it with the Thai Capital.

Same same, but different?
