Popular Post snoop1130 Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 Air purifiers installed around Victory Monument By THE NATION The Rajaprajanukron Foundation, under Royal Patronage, installed four air- purifiers on Friday (January 24) in the vincinites of Victory Monument in a trial of their effectiveness in filtering out PM2.5 dust particles, said Silpasuay Raweesaengsoon, permanent secretary of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), on Friday (January 24). The machines can purify polluted air at the rate of two cubic metres per second. Placed in areas with heavy traffics, they help reduce the level of pollution caused by vehicle emissions. The purifiers will be switched on daily from 5am to 12am, and 2pm to 8pm. “If the air purifiers prove practical, they will be installed at bus stops, schools, and other busy places, ” the permanent secretary said.

Popular Post DrTuner Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 I suppose they work - if you stand 30cm from the outlet on the first day they are installed. On the second day the filter will be full and nobody will maintain them. On the third day a farang will make a youtube video of the gadget being full of rats. 3 3 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post unamazedloso Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 Idiots, absolute idiots and for that matter so are thai people for letting the government continue to slap their face whilst the government have a shopping spree with sugar money.

Popular Post Bob12345 Posted January 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2020 This whole thing is just a distraction to hide their incompetence. They know how to tackle the air polution problems, they just don't want to do it because it will cost them popularity, something they are currently lacking already. Previously they were flying planes and spraying water to help with the PM2.5, is this an admission that it didn't help at all now? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need, they take them out and use compressed air to blow the particles out. Just kidding, nobody is going to go so far as to check filters.

They can bring down the pollution throughout greater Bangkok. Lets do the Maths! 1 machine cleans 150000m3 per day Price: 300000 Baht Area greater Bangkok: approx. 1500 km2 Volume of air to be cleaned: 1000km3 (rough estimate) 1km3 equals 1 Billion m3 1000 km3 = 1 Trillion m3 divide the Trillion by 150000m3 and .....presto ..... 6.6 Million of those oversized Dyson vacuumcleaners manage to clean Bangkok's air to the highest standards ........ at total cost of 2 Trillion Baht or a modest US$66 Billion. Uuuups - almost forgot the maintenance, but it's not unreasonable to assume that a workforce of 100000 (give or take a few should be able to do the job. BTW - it's not yet April 1???? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
