snoop1130 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 BANGKOK, Oct 19 (TNA) – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration deployed staff to investigate the causes of fine dust as it exceeded its safe threshold in Nong Khaem district this morning. BMA spokesman Ekwaranyu Amrapan said the City Hall formed its teams of “dust detectives” to investigate the sources of particulate matter 2.5 micrometers and less in diameter (PM2.5). Also, it cooperated with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to effectively predict PM2.5 situations and solve them.

Hakuna Matata Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) The farmers all over Thailand have started burning the grass as the cool season is arriving. It happens every year from November to February with AQI levels reaching 200 and more. Many areas are affected: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Chonburi (Pattata), Nongkhai, etc. Edited October 20, 2022 by Hakuna Matata 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that as this is in the Bangkok Forum, it's understandably about Bangkok. But other parts of Thailand like Hua Hin, Pattaya and Rayong are experiencing just as dangerous air quality!

Iamfalang Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I remember 2009. Things will change!!! Since then, about EIGHTY (80) MILLION people have died worldwide because of pollution. Don't worry falangs, Thailand is LOS and Paradise and when I smelled (smelt?) smoke this morning I was sooo happy!!!! Happy days are here again!!!! This morning I downloaded the AQI app back on my phone. It was only uninstalled for four months. Apologists, get ready. Please tell me how this is only minor and 20 bowl noodle soup makes up for bad air to breathe all day, all night, destroying children's brains. tell me how i'm dramatic, but I won't see you in the hospital consoling the 80 million......................and their families. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that anyone is being dismissive of this global issue. But it seems, like me, you live here, so I guess I'll see you in hospital too!
