webfact Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Southern Thailand suffers fallout from Indonesia’s forest fires By The Nation People in the southern provinces of Thailand are suffering severe consequences from the smoke cloud coming from Indonesia’s forest fires in the Sumatra and Borneo islands. The smoke has covered the South since September 1 and the situation worsened on Sunday (September 8). The pollution has led to fine particulate matter in the air exceeding safe levels. PM2.5 has risen to 73 micrograms per cubic metre, according to researchers at Prince of Songkla University. People have been advised not to spend much time outdoors.

jethro69 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Don't worry to much in 5 months it will be in the north. CM topped 500 ppm last year, so the 73 seems quite moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 PM2.5 around 90µg/m3 today in Hat Yai, could do with some rain. Though thankfully the wind is keeping the worst of it to the south. http://asmc.asean.org/home/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Perhaps the Chiang Mai ptb can lend the leaf blowers provided by the military last year to disperse the smog. Won't be needed up here for at least another 4 or 5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patongphil Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 There is absolutely no way I can understand the level of ignorance in a "leader" of a country that is very successful compared o it's neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
