[webfact]

 

Air quality in and around Bangkok will get worse over the next seven days, with increasing accumulation of PM2.5 dust in the atmosphere, as Thailand’s capital was placed 14th on World Air Quality Index (AQI) on Wednesday, according to the Pollution Control Department.

 

Air quality readings, compiled at 7am today (Friday) by the Pollution Control Department and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, show the levels of PM2.5 ranging from 39 to 96 microns, against the 50-micron standard level, with most areas having excessive dust.

 

Air quality in two areas of Bangkok and one in Samut Prakan are classified as unhealthy for sensitive people, due to higher levels of PM2.5 dust.

All the relevant pollution disaster mitigation or whatever bodies should take a well earned New Year break, after spending another tiring year achieving nothing.

“More PM 2.5 expected next week”

 

What can also be expected is more sitting around with their thumbs up their rear ends and doing b*gger by the Thai authorities, since they have shown time and time again that they don’t give the tiniest rat’s @ss about this issue. They are there solely for their own interests, and the plebs can suck it.

Pattaya is having much higher levels of pollution than Bangkok at the moment.
