BANGKOK (NNT) - Northern Thailand is confronting a critical public health issue, with Chiang Mai and Lampang provinces experiencing alarmingly high mortality rates from lung cancer linked to the pervasive presence of PM2.5 particles in the air.

 

According to Assoc Prof Chalerm Liewsisakul of Chiang Mai University's Faculty of Medicine, the last decade has seen a notable deterioration in air quality in the region, correlating with an increase in lung disease cases.

 

Studies indicate a rapid rise in lung cancer deaths in the North, from 20.3 per 100,000 people in 2010 to 30.7 in 2019. This worrying trend highlights the critical need for immediate action to tackle air pollution and its detrimental health effects, particularly in Chiang Mai and Lampang. The data further reveals a higher incidence of lung cancer among the youth in these areas, suggesting a direct link to prolonged exposure to PM2.5 particles.

 

Research focusing on emphysema patients in Chiang Dao, a locality known for high PM2.5 levels, shows that exposure leads to cellular changes, hinting at the potential for genetic mutations and cancer development. The adverse health impacts of PM2.5 pollution are further evidenced by a spike in respiratory problems, with serious conditions like emphysema, coronary heart disease, and strokes becoming more common during high pollution periods.

 

An analysis by the Faculty of Medicine at Chiang Mai University also found a direct correlation between PM2.5 levels and mortality rates, with a 1.6% increase in deaths for every ten micrograms per cubic meter of air (µg/m³) rise in PM2.5. The faculty also confirmed the death of Prof Rawiwan Olarnratmanee, attributing her lung cancer to PM2.5 exposure. 

 

Meanwhile, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital reported that over 30,000 patients sought treatment for pollution-related illnesses early this year, doubling last year's figures.

Dozens of children killed in the Nong Bua  massacre  a few years ago by a disgruntled cop  , another 30 in the Nakon Rachasima  slaughter by a soldier  and nothing happens . ! 

One Chinese and one Myanmar killed in an up market mall in Bangkok - and all hell

breaks loose ! 

Am I reading this correctly ?

Yes, don't do that in 1st class shopping mall.... that's the ultimate outrage, nothing to do with the victims, nor firearms...

What is most frustrating about negotiations among the eight political parties forming the post-election coalition is what is seen as the “devil may care” attitude of its key player, the Move Forward Party, according to sources involved in the ongoing talks.

 

They said it was obvious from the very beginning that Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat was not willing to modify his party’s stand on modifying the lèse majesté law, despite heavy lobbying by its political partners.

 

“That makes the negotiations so frustrating,” said a source involved in the series of talks among the eight political parties.

 

The source told Thai PBS World that Pita is openly confident in the popular support that helped his party win the most House seats in the recent general election.

Thailand is only part of the problem, the adjoining countries are even worse with PM levels and with prevailing winds pushing the smog into Thailand.

That is not an excuse for doing nothing....

You also have to look at the bigger picture, which is that 80% of the buildings don't respect the rules and the authorities let it happen, as long as they get their share of the cake. Very often you can see buildings built directly on the roadside, despite the 2-metre rules..., and stands encroaching directly on the rad
The result is that the roads cannot adapt. Such situations happen everywhere, every day

3 years??? this case maybe, otherwise, generally speaking... forever

A lifetime of scars for the child.  No way does the Thai owner  have enogh money.  They dont know how to raise ...  well, just look at the culture.  Most are raised without  ever having  to take responsibility  or face consequences  for their actions.   How can they be expected  to be responsible  pet owners.

So there are laws. Just ban such annimals, sale and ownership. Current alive ones, be neutered. May be consider the same for the owners

Tread is for wet roads. If it's dry, slicks are better.

Slick are made for track and you need to bring them to the right temperature, around 90 degree, to make them work. And on the pic, it is badly worn tire we can seen

Fair enough...
Pls do not forget to tax emplty land in the city that have 1 banana 3 for 20m2 to avoid paying taxes on empty land... Maybe it's time to close those loop holes that have been made by, and for the ultra rich...

Yes well done, that is leadership!!!!
Corruption, yes, full speed,
Prostitution.... oh no!!!!! ????
