So what's the governor been doing to clean up his province since he took office... he can't blame the last guy this is on his watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkof Island Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I guess the rich either leave the country whenever it gets bad or hides in their homes 24/7. Rich perhaps but dumber than a brink not understanding the smog is slowly killing off their own families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Where did they pull the PM2.5 number of 65.9 from? I'd consider that a relatively healthy day. Checked IQ air a few minutes ago: 160 in Bangkok; 152 in Pattaya. Which might lead one to assume the majority of pollutants are not from vehicles... I'd hazard the guess it is field burning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out-door activities at my sons school have been moved indoors because of the pollution - but the map indicates most areas are 'moderate' Edited December 12, 2023 by richard_smith237 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
