Bangkok and 57 Thai Provinces Face Hazardous PM2.5 Dust Levels

Thailand is grappling with severe air pollution as Bangkok and 57 out of 76 provinces report hazardous levels of PM2.5 particulate matter. The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) has issued red-level warnings for regions including the north, northeast, central plains, and eastern areas, indicating dangerously high pollution levels. Bueng Kan province recorded the highest concentration at 146.2 micrograms per cubic meter, significantly exceeding the safe threshold of 37.5 µg/m³. Health officials are advising residents, particularly vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions, to minimize outdoor activities and wear protective masks when necessary. The government is under increasing pressure to implement effective measures to combat air pollution, including stricter emissions regulations and promoting sustainable urban development practices.

I'm not counting 20 ... as no 'Green' at all.
