patman30 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 just moved from patts to small village top of mountains in korat near khoa yai, the pollution here is currently horrendous has made us all sick for weeks all due to sugar cane farming as they burn the fields/waste after harvesting the haze in the morning as they burn at night is ridiculous some morning with visibility sometimes less than 4km and often less than 6km (distance from my house to nearby mountain tops) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Pollution was so bad at sunrise (AQI 99) that the sun looked orange. Sun not on the horizon, but well above it @ 0715 hrs, so not due to shorter wavelength colors (blues and violets) get scattered out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you did didn't realize that PM2.5 of 99 was a GOOD readng for these days. Roght now in CM I'm seeing PM2.5 of 135 - 160 = AQI 192 - 210.

Our normal is <75 AQI, though that usually means 3-5X WHO's suggested PM25 levels, unless AQI is well under 50, still not the healthies. OH KRAP ... W T F ... going downhill today, think I'll hang out indoors today, after dog takes me for my walk to the park.
