webfact Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The Pollution Control Department (PCD) has warned residents of Bangkok to prepare for an escalation in ultra-fine particle pollution in the air, which is anticipated to worsen by Wednesday. As a result of this alert, the PCD has implored individuals residing in the capital to opt for remote working until the situation improves. The intensifying accumulation of PM2.5 pollutants, according to Preeyaporn Suwanakate, the PCD’s director-general, is a consequence of compromised air circulation in several areas across the city. This complication is largely attributed to the combination of low atmospheric pressure and fluctuating wind patterns in the region, leading to the buildup of pollutants. She mentioned that the current winds from the South will be replaced by winds from the East and Northeast, which would transport pollutants from other regions into Bangkok. In response to the warning from the department, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has increased its scrutiny of all pollution sources within the city. Additionally, the BMA has directed schools to establish dust free rooms at all kindergartens and schools under its jurisdiction. by Mitch Connor Photo by @jamboree08 via Facebook/ JS100 Radio Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Emdog Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 work remotely. Other day using AQI site, saw Bangkok at 150+ while my home town of Portland Oregon was at 3. And just how are schools to make "dust free rooms"? Seal them off and pump all the air out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when it rains, or the wind blows in a different direction, or the governor finally does something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just more useless talk. Do this, do that. Meanwhile, the government does nothing. But, can find 5 billion with a 'B' baht for TAT. Wonder how many electric city vehicles and electric motorcycle subsidies that could have bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
