PHUKET: The Regional Environment Office 15, based in Phuket, has issued an advisory for people to monitor their ease of breathing following a dust haze from Bangladesh and Myanmar settling over Phuket.

 

The advisory was issued this morning (Feb 28) after the office recognised through the Pollution Control Department's Air4Thai monitoring system that the PM 2.5 count had reached 104.

 

The 104 reading of air pollution is in the “Orange” category, a very broad classification for PM2.5 readings of 100-200 for which the PCD marks that “starts affecting people’s health”.

It never rains but it pours, as if Phuket didn't have enough problems already.
