webfact 79,286 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 PM2.5 count hits 462 in Chiang Rai By The Nation The level of PM2.5 dust particles in the air in the North topped 400 micrograms per cubic metre on Friday (March 13). The Pollution Control Department recorded 462mcg in Chiang Rai province and 361mcg in Mae Hong Son. The AirVisual application put the dust level in downtown Chiang Mai around 200mcg on Friday morning, high enough to keep it at No 1 on the app’s list of the world’s most polluted cities. The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre noted that the number of forest fire hotspots in the Thai North had not risen from 200, so the haze there was likely coming from Myanmar and Laos. Thalearngsak Petchsuwan of the Pollution Control Department nevertheless said wildfires in Thailand had to be extinguished to lower the pollution level and he urged the Army and the ministries of Interior and Natural Resources and Environment to act.

Popular Post Ventenio 2,176 Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 Maybe Corona doesn't like fire or PM above 400. What living organism would? 2020 is certainly the craziest year in many, many, many decades. Yea, love the north without the pollution, but since the pollution is about 200 days a year....it's not worth it 9 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It drops in the evening (if there is a breeze) and starts going again during the night. You can smell the smoke (and its not smoke in Laos or Burma).

Popular Post damascase 2,295 Posted March 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2020 Today the air is very thick here in CR you could almost cut it. Drying your laundry outdoors results in a strong smell of smoke from it. We badly need some rain to get rid of the worst. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
