webfact Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Air pollution soars in Bangkok By The Nation The Pollution Control Department (PCD) reported high levels of air pollution in Bangkok, particularly the suburban areas at 7am today (October 22). Seven PCD monitoring stations in Bangkok showed many of the capital’s districts affected by unhealthy air quality levels with several reporting PM2.5 Air Quality Index of 68. Among the affected districts are Bang Phlat, Bang Kho Laem, Bang Sue, Phasi Charoen, Pak Nam Subdistrict in Samut Prakan Province, and Mahachai Subdistrict and Om Noi Subdistric. This situation would likely continue until October 26 as a result of a temperature inversion that usually occurs in winter and is marked by a reversal of the normal behaviour of temperature in the troposphere, in which a layer of cool air at the surface is covered by a layer of warmer air. These conditions will block air and dust particles from an upward movement, resulting in less ventilation for PM 2.5. The situation will improve on October 27 after the cool air from North flows down to the central region.

Jimbo2014 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 This will bring in tourists keen to see the worlds most polluted city. Sprinkle a little more plastic on the beaches and raise the Baht a bit and I think we have a winner for TAT! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Things are pretty much back to normal thus far today in BKK, after quite a bad day yesterday. An AQI reading of 89 translates into an actual PM2.5 micrograms level of about 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Maybe K. Prayut would be so kind as to get on the roof of Parliament building and spray water with a garden hose. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
