Popular Post Ventenio Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2021 studies show humans are very, very bad at figuring out long-term risks.

It has been my experience that 99% of things people worry about never happen. You're absolutely right, I don't really care about what happens to me next week. I just hope it's quick, rather than lingering. Air quality hasn't been too bad this year, still breathable at the moment. last year it was awful from the end of December to April.

But there are other (innocent, unknowing, stupid, poor, ...) people, the young and the old, living 4 to 6 months each year in this unhealthy air. Not only some years, but usually their whole life... Nothing is done about it in SE-Asia, Myanmar(?), Bangladesh, India, Pakistan. Only China seems to improve. Really. - And not only today.

If nothing, then you are guilty of spreading fear to those same innocent, unknowing, stupid and poor people you quote above How long do you want to live ? MIL died last summer - 86 years old.

It is my private environment, I'm trying to change as a (friendly) model. And there is for example thaivisa-com, who has some members who aren't afraid but thankful to get timely information about the air pollution.

Yom Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Feb 20, 2021 - numbers 17:00 This is not smoke from Greta555, it's the particulate matter table, the Top Ten of Thailand. - ChiangMai people should be glad. Please, don't mention Mae Moh near Lampang. It's only a coincidence.-You want to know more about Mae Moh? It's a lignite fired power plant, and I think, they're not cleaning their filters since 20something.

Yom Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 One question: From where does all this particulate matter stem from? I like to suspect India, China, Bangladesh, then slash and burn, the Thai farmers, the power plants Mae Moh and Mae Sot, the gas and diesel exhausts, the abrasion of the brake and clutch linings, - oh, the fires in Cambodia and in Laos and the aircrafts, too. All, everthing is bad. Stop. I'm sure I forgot something. What about this virgin state of Myanmar? One reading thanks to the US Embassy Rangoon, Yangon, ရန်ကုန် or what? Yangon boasts the largest number of colonial-era buildings in Southeast Asia,[4] and has a unique colonial-era urban core that is remarkably intact. Thanks, Wiki! And only one measuring point? - OK. https://aqicn.org/city/maynmar/rangoon/us-embassy/ *************************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollution takes away the good years of your life grinding you down earlier and you die earlier, not lops off a few bad years at the end. What you contemplate on the day you die might be why you let people steal those precious good years from you and you did nothing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamenRaven Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Compared to many other Asian cities, not that bad. Chiang Mai AQI is usually in the 150-200 range during the burning season. It's 200-250 when it gets really bad. Try Delhi and Ulaanbataar, where hazardous AQI levels are extremely common, often 300-500+ for days on end.
