The Department of Health has warned residents in Chiang Rai province that particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) in the air remains at hazardous levels.

 

Department director-general Dr Panpimol Wipulakorn suggested that children, pregnant women, elderly and people with health conditions stay indoors to prevent exposure to dust.

 

If anyone has respiratory problems such as cough and hard breathing or other symptoms such as chest aches and dizziness, she recommended thay they see medical experts.

 

“Stay in the rooms that are not close to the roads or construction areas, clean the room with water to reduce the dust, close the windows and any access to dust, turn on fans and air-conditioning to circulate the air,” Panpinol advised.

The horrendous air pollution in the north will kill far more than the Coronavirus over the long run. Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai are the most polluted cities in the world nevermind global warming, they have killed the golden goose of tourism and instead turned the north into a living hell for those who have to live there. I pity the children playing football while being forced to breath that filth. Keep up the good work Mr. health minister. ????????

No more to add.

Thanks.

No one with options should stay in the north of Thailand during this half of the year, Nov-Apr.

Any money you save by staying put will be swallowed up by medical costs further down the line.


 

If you look at AP historical charts, May is terrible as well....

 

until the first rains come which can be in May or in June or even later...

 

the gov is completely incompetent as it has no will no desire to problem solve to protect its citizens....

 

yom,
 

AP is absolute not relative....your post is exactly why no behavioral change happens ....look it was only 150 at X hour....Exactly how gov mindset approaches it - clueless and hopeless mentality

 

 

 

 

 

 

It does not really help that much being indoors. The house is not an air purifier. Only thing that really help is an air purifier.

While the CM governor carries on as normal... the man should be removed from office!

I'm surprised the CM people have put up with his ineptness for so long?

Why don't they collectively rise up, protest or petition for his removal!

Between this phenomenon and road deaths, more people die every day than Cocid-19 takes away in a year ...
