snoop1130 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 People in Bangkok and its surroundings are being advised to brace for deteriorating air quality, with the amount of PM2.5 dust in the atmosphere reaching health-threatening levels from today until Monday. Health Department chief Dr. Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai said today (Friday) that parents should take special care of their children, because tomorrow is National Children’s Day in Thailand and, if necessary, they should not let their children play in open-air playgrounds or should, at least, limit outdoor activities. Air quality today in 31 areas in Bangkok and its peripherals is below standard, with the levels of PM2.5 dust ranging from 34-82 microns/cubic metre.

Totally agree with you, the powers that be need a swift kick in the butt, or as many as it takes for them to get the message and finally start doing something about the horrendous air pollution. But the thing is that they probably don’t suffer so much from this pollution, because they can afford aircon and the best air filters that money can buy. The ordinary folk are the ones that suffer the most, having to go to work on their motorbikes every day, having to spend time outdoors every day, and living in houses without aircon or air filters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
