Nojohndoe Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 So they provide the level of pollution but why do I never see any explanation of it? Thailand is still experiencing widespread rainfall which obviates specific blame on crop burn offs. If it is industrial in origin that should be easier to enforce regulation of but unlikely if the political vested interest is in reaping profit ahead of public health !

Moonlover Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Come to sunny Issan and enjoy some real clean fresh air. I'm already looking forward to my morning walk in the countryside. For the uninformed, blue is excellent and green is satisfactory. Edited October 21, 2021 by Moonlover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn obviate the crop burn. The crop burn has started despite the rainfall. You can see the high pollution in rural areas around Bkk to north.

Popular Post Jimbo2014 Posted October 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) The horrific winter pollution and crop burn season is a much much bigger health crisis than Covid19. Why cannot the government apply 1/10th the same effort to cleaning up the air. Kiss those million dollar tourists goodbye - they prefer to breath regularly.

It seems to me that at Government level they are content to allow blame almost entirely on the agricultural sector and saying "tut tut...we have tried to stop it" but rarely is there any expressed concern or publicity about the Industrial sector or emission control regulations imposed wherever they are surprisingly diversely located. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelagicpete Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I have been following the progress and start point of the pollution on Ventusky, a weather app, for a few weeks now, and it is startlingly obvious that the place it all comes from, in this region, is Bangkok. Wether it is factories or car emissions is not obvious, but it seems to be coming from big cities like BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid February, the 'mountains' around us disappear from view. The difference in the view between then and say September is staggering. I am 99% convinced Thais see this smog and believe it is in the distance, not a clue they are actually living it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the mountains, in smog season I can't see farther than 50 meters. The indolence of the authorities with the help of neighbors burning everything they can make me disappear from these killers about 3 months. For years I rent a Condo in the beach avoiding the pollution in the north. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry pollution, burning from cremations and emission from poorly tuned diesel vehicles are undoubtable massive contributing factors. When the air movement stagnates or come south in winter then Bkk gets hit hard. However this is massively increased through Crop burning from November through to April. What use to be 1-2 crop burn cycles on a small scale is now 3 cycles on a large grand industrial scale. The problem is that it takes place right across Asia to India (Myanmar/Cambodia/China does it massively from Nov). Added to it is huge coal burning from China during the cold months - this year prepare for worse since they cut Australian coal and use the dirtier home grown coal and manufacturing is up (power consumption). End result - the air north of southern phuket turns into a massive choke from about mid November onwards - although you can see signs of it starting to build mid Oct. Very sad situation. Paradise lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
