Will B Good Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Photo is of a "municipal" dump about 2kms from a group of villages and 10km from a large town. It burns household waste, and possibly industrial waste, 24/7. There's no incinerator, chimney or pollution control. The waste is just burned on the ground where it is dumped. Is that legal? If not, is there anything can be done to stop it (as if anyone would listen)? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Morch Posted December 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2023 Like a whole lot of things in this country, 'legally' and 'officially' it's supposed to be handled differently. About doing anything to stop it - as a foreigner and guest in country, probably not much beyond setting a better example and spreading information around. Getting in local authorities faces, especially in rural areas, and without backing - that's a choice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacnl2000 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 FYI, monitors happen to exist at a world-wide scale which can be checked on a smartphone (but these do not currently count particles at nano size level): https://www.iqair.com/th-en/thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinL Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) This https://waqi.info/#/c/15.803/102.606/14.2z website currently shows the air quality about 2 km from my house as 19 yet we're surrounded by values of about 170, with 300 only 30 km away. I have to ask, is our local monitoring station broken? EDIT - a few minutes after posting, the value had gone down to 4!
