Popular Post unamazedloso Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 Government needs to step down immediately with regards to this. They are killing people. Stupid Prayut said hes tough and pm2.5 doesnt effect him, Seriously? He wont be enforcing laws because he doesnt want to! seriously? Omg i hope our paths cross!! So i have been saying for years that the average iq of thais and their behavior is purely as a result of their enviroment and just now on morning news they showed that pm2.5 attacks the frontal lobe of the brain first which controls morals.

Jimbo2014 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 What a horrendous disgrace for Thailand. This is a country that wants to be a hub of progress, a hub of tourism, a hub of innovation. All it has become is a stinking choking smog and garbage filled sewer. I predict a harsh year ahead for tourism. Not even the most ardent iron lung tourist from New Delhi or Beijing would want to visit this choke filled over priced nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunpa Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) What’s new? Happens every year and nothing is ever done about it. It is like being in the movie Groundhog Day. Clearly the government does not care and the farmers also could care less as they need to save money. I guess STUPID really is hard to fix and no doubt this will not be fixed in many years to come. Thais only learn the hard way. So let them first distroy their country with pollution. And then maybe one day they will wake up and do something about it.

Guess what? The air pollution skyrocketed inside the sealed off home. They estimated that exhausting cooking and cleaning pollution from residential homes in Los Angeles produces more air pollution than all the cars on every road in LA. Source: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/04/08/the-hidden-air-pollution-in-our-homes Just to be safe, eat only raw food and stop cleaning.... You know, open a backpacker hostel with a Continental breakfast and dirty bathrooms. ???? You're definitely on to something.

Spray a room freshener, roast something in the oven, use the gas stove, etc etc... The difference is, unless you work in a kitchen, those things are short-term, temporary exposures.... Whereas the ambient air you breath day in and day out is an ongoing, persistent exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Triple whammy for Thailand: • PM 2.5 sky high from the south (Cambodia & Indonesia burning). • corona virus bearing down from the north (Wunan tourists coming by the thousands for ChiCom New Year). • incredibly overpriced Baht to diminish exports and tourism.

Saw it on Lazada Have had for several years - appears to be very accurate (in reference to closest official station) and fast to react to changing conditions and USB charge lasts a long time. As have filter use to check that it is working when air gets bad outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
