Air quality unsafe in three Bangkok areas

By THE NATION

 

 

Air quality in three areas of Bangkok exceeded safe levels, or 50 micrograms (mcg) per cubic metre.

 

 

Bangkok’s air monitoring solutions reported at 7am on Saturday that particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) was 64mcg per cubic metre in Nong Khaem district, while it was 51mcg per cubic metre in Thawi Watthana district, near Sanam Luang II, and 59mcg per cubic metre in Taweewanarom Park.

 

Separately, the AirVisual application showed the air quality index of Bangkok at 92, or moderate level, at 10am.

What a complete and utter load of TOT hogwash or even worse not if fake news but news to mislead people.

 

Anything below 150 is OK for normal people. Only sensitive groups need heed.

51mcg per cubic metre in Thawi Watthana district

 

I'd say this is pretty good for a central district of a major conurbation.

 

Where I live is officially 86. To me it just seems like a normal sunny day.

Last year I was told  not to burn my crop, I didnt, all the neighbours  did, and people round here dont give a flying  fart............One rule for me, anything you like for them...... Im sick to death of the "locals" they do what they want and continually complain about anything they "think"  ive done.

150 ug/m3 ~ AQI 200     

[Increased aggravation of heart or lung disease and premature mortality in persons with

cardiopulmonary disease and the elderly; increased respiratory effects in general population.]

 

AQI 150 ~ 55 ug/m3     

[People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children are the groups most at risk.]
