Bangkok’s air quality worsens as PM2.5 levels rise

 

Bangkok is facing rising PM2.5 pollution levels this weekend, worsened by cool weather and poor air circulation, with the highest concentration recorded in Nong Khaem district at 51.1µg/m³. PM2.5 levels ranged from 19.5µg/m³ to 53.8µg/m³ this morning. While a tropical cyclone in the South China Sea may bring rain next week to reduce pollution, current conditions keep air quality concerns high. Residents are advised to take precautions. Meanwhile, cooler temperatures are affecting the northern regions, and rain in Bangkok could provide temporary relief.
