Popular Post jznene Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 ...no higher than 47 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3)... Over what period of time?WHO guidelines PM2 5 2021? By reducing air pollution levels, countries can reduce the burden of disease, and long and short-term illnesses. The updated guidelines state that annual average concentrations of PM2.5 should not exceed 5 µg/m3, while 24-hour average exposures should not exceed 15 µg/m3 more than 3 - 4 days per year. So, what makes Thailand so unique claiming that 47 micrograms is very good? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gulfstream crowd will be supplied with stretch limos with medically purified air and VR-Glasses providing an antiseptic view of a CGI created Thailand of old as they are ushered between their luxury hotels, spas, malls, and golf course. No need for these uber-riche to dirty their feet on the ripped-up side walks and infrastructure meant for "commoners" and other riff-raff or breath The Most Dangerous Air In The World as the Cool Season pollution fades (disappears) into true horror-haze of Hot season burning. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Well wear your good quality KN95 and N95 masks and you will be okay. Plan be, get out of Bangkok and enjoy the cleaner air in Hua Hin, or Pattaya, or some other beach town along the coast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago, faced with ever rising year round background levels of smoke, the Thai authorities just raised the 'safe limit' number. Problem solved from their point of view. There is no safe level of course. Years ago I pressurised my whole house with industrial level intake HEPA filtration, the rationale being that I want to keep my family's annual average exposure as low as I can. We live in the north, the air is pjss poor for six months of the year, and totally unbreathable from Feb to April. Inside our house it's 0 micrograms year round. That's right, zero. . . but we feel like prisoners during the worst of the burning season.

That is a lie and I can prove it. Its not March conditions but air quality in Chiang Rai province is POOR and not very good as they claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
