Turned it on this morning at 10:00 and this is what I get. I cannot claim that it is accurate but.... What is the large "320" number on your purifier's digital display supposed to represent? I doubt it's supposed to be a 320 AQI, especially for BKK today. It absolutely could not be 320 micrograms of PM2.5. It doesn't sound from your comments like it could be the time... So what then?

A 320 PM2.5 for BKK this morning would be HIGHLY improbable, especially in the absence of some immediately proximate pollution source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not far from what appears to be a refinery (a couple miles) that sometimes has flames billowing from the “smokestacks”. Maybe I was downwind from it at the time. Could that possible be why it is? It literally felt like I was in a cloud of smoke when stepped outside this morning and my eyes were burning upon waking up. Moving to a beach area is looking pretty nice right about now.

I left the balcony open yesterday afternoon for a short while and it ran shot up to 85. Mine maxes out at that if I'm frying food but eventually settles down at 5 except today where its been 15 all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eifel36 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Not surprising at all with all the traffic jams, cars with idling engines for A/C use, 1,000s of outdated diesel engines, red light periods for more than 4 minutes at major intersections .... things we were been taught some 30 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac1970 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Picture is like 200 in Beijing. I think best was 500 or other words, out of scale, when I was there. Now it seems to be pretty decent 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global version. Yes, they have pm2.5 meter on them. It's Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S. Can connect with Mi Home app so you can control them and see the remaining filter life and temperature/humidity/air quality reading from anywhere. Filters are 800 baht or so on Lazada for genuine ones, full price 899 or 999, can't remember, but even Xiaomi shop always gave discount. There's a larger model available, Air Purifier Pro (looks same just taller) for larger rooms, but uses same filter; and Air Purifier Max which looks similar but uses different filters and is up to 120m2. In my ones filters last about 5-6 months at 24/7 use in the middle of quite a polluted area of Bangkok. What is the make and model number? How large is the actual filter? It is all about how massive the filters are on these devices. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The government the other day blamed it on an inversion layer weather system keeping all the junk in the atmosphere. Of course, weather doesn't cause air pollution -- cars, trucks, factories and agricultural burning do. https://www.airvisual.com/thailand/chon-buri/pattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plenty burning stubble off; still large numbers of vehicles belching large clouds of black diesel clouds. Give it a few more days and the the same old "vows" to do this that and the other to address it will be trotted out. And nothing will happen.
