"A PM10 level exceeding 120 mcg can affect people’s health"

Yeah in Thailand only. The rest of the world's standard is 60 mcg!

But then life in Thailand is cheaper.

PM 2.5 is rather more serious a health hazard than PM10, hence why it seems to often go unreported in Thailand. The smaller 2.5 particles penetrate deep into the lungs.
