Greater Bangkok’s air pollution was bad this morning, with 36 locations reporting the amount of PM2.5 micron pollutants rising beyond the safety limit of 50 micrograms of PM2.5 per cubic metre of air, with one area reaching as high as 113 micrograms.
The Pollution Control Department say the breeze is too low to blow the dust away today, but just enough to stir up the dust and make things worse this afternoon.
The PCD is urging people to refrain from using vehicles emitting dark exhaust, avoid outdoor burning, and reduce their use of personal cars and take public transport.
Those with health sensitivities, including children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with chronic illness should seek medical attention if they experience anything abnormal.
