Why is there higher level of PM2.5 in Bangkok than other cities?
Created By RISC | 1 month ago
Ever wondered why Bangkok suffers worse particulate pollution than other cities?
It's because Bangkok's landscape has a basin shape that causes particles and pollution to stick around. Inappropriate urban planning with dense housing reduces wind. Road systems can also trap traffic in congestion that fuels pollution.
Wintertime pollution rises each year, but we can protect ourselves by...
- Wearing an N95 mask, or 2 standard masks, to protect ourselves from PM2.5.
- Closing our doors and windows when the PM2.5 count is high and having an air purifier in our house.
- Keeping our home clean, especially if it’s near a road.
- Avoiding outdoor activities.
- If we belong to a sensitive or allergic group, preparing our medicines and seeing a doctor straight away if we don’t feel well.
