33 provinces, including Bangkok to suffer air pollution until Sunday

 

 

Bangkok and 32 other provinces across Thailand are being affected by air pollution today (Thursday), with the likelihood that the problem will get worse tomorrow and Saturday, because of poor air circulation, resulting in the accumulation of airborne dust, according to the Pollution Control Department.

 

The department’s Air4Thai webpage today shows the amount of PM2.5 dust in 73 areas of Bangkok and its suburbs ranges from 51 to 108 microns, which exceeds the 50-micron safety threshold.

 

The three most polluted areas are Kanchanapisek Road in Bang Khun Thian district at 97 microns, Ma Charoen-Petkasem 81 in Nong Khaem district at 92 microns and Maha Chai sub-district, Muang district of Samut Sakhon at 108 microns.
