CHIANG MAI, Feb 9 (TNA) – Smog from forest fires has once again blanketed the city of Chiang Mai and PM 2.5 levels exceed the standard at 3 areas.

 

Visibility has decreased as the haze is likely drifting from different districts where there are efforts to manage fires in agricultural areas and winds blowing into the city.

 

PM 2.5 levels exceeded the standard at 3 points: Sri Phum Sub-district at 43.9 micrograms per cubic meter; at the Chiang Mai Province Office, at 39 micrograms per cubic meter; and Hod District, at 38.7 micrograms per cubic meter, beginning to impact health.

You can breathe the cancer causing air while preparing to file your 2024 Thai tax return for all your incoming remittances and you get no health care from the Thai government for your tax dollars.  You pay for your lung cancer too.
