rwdrwdrwd Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Outside of the box thinking here - now they aren't so busy perhaps put the task under the remit of the fellows at the EC, I'm sure they can find a way to get the readings down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co2 at 285 grams per passenger kilometer traveled.... by commercial aircraft.... a few thousand kilometers for some folks..... that are not rice farmers.... to experience the food and "nightlife" of Thailand. love how we word these things, and how we point fingers too. what else to do but that and to laugh at ourselves? all of us. but this PM pollution will drop out over a few weeks and months. not the other stuff.

Thailand Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Drove down from Chiangmai to Chom Tong this morning in what accuweather calls "fog" which of course is smog" It was like driving through fog though but the difference was ,despite the aircon blasting,the "fog" managed to permeate in to the car and both wife and I suffered sore throats and running eyes for most of the journey. On the way down an open sided/back songthaew type vehicle passed us full of young western men and women. On the return journey about 4 hours later we actually passed the same vehicle, not difficult to recognize, the only difference was all the occupants were wearing masks which they were not on the way down. Plenty to tell their friends on the social media and no doubt some great photos of "foggy" Chiangmai! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleMan555 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 18 hours ago, Eric Loh said: "Experts see little changing after Prayut’s visit, blame govt’s policy to push corn cultivation". And who owns the corn plantation? Big corporates; friends of the junta. Good Point, according to a recent story published on a USA based news site (google: Growing Corn Is A Major Contributor To Air Pollution, Study Finds:) " The nitrogen in fertilizers helps fuel plant growth, but not all of it can be used by the plant. "Some of that nitrogen washes into waterways, and some of it gets released into the atmosphere as ammonia," says Hill. Once ammonia hits the atmosphere, it reacts with other particles, mostly nitrogen and sulfur oxides, to form PM2.5, according to Hill." This is a new revelation to me, and if one considers the massive amounts of agricultural chemicals being used in Thailand in conjunction with the other activities such as transportation, tillage and yes the burning of the waste, it is easy to see that the problem is not going to go away anytime soon. hmmm ????

I look forward to his excuse in a weeks time when things are about the same as they are now. It will be but but but, we fixed the problem it's them pesky Burmese, Lao and Cambodians causing all the problems - as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
