BANGKOK, Nov 8 (TNA) – Bangkok residents have been alerted to prepare for PM 2.5 pollution from Nov 9 to 12.

 

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Spokesperson Ekwaranyu Amrapan said that the Department of Pollution Control has predicted that there will be a high concentration of fine dust marked in orange with adverse effects on health from tomorrow to Sunday.

 

However, there is still a chance of rain which may help reduce the level of fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

Just what dust are they predicting and from where?  What makes up this dust?  Where is the chemical analysis?  Oh, and it has rained, so did the dust get washed away - so now it is river and sea pollution?
