@RichardBarrow So there are 'high risk' and 'slightly less high risk' countries now. Not confusing at all..

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

@pakhead One poll in Africa showed 44% had not heard of climate change. In Thailand? More awareness needed

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

@WomanInThailand Fourth option should read 'none of the above'

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

As I live and breathe. Or try to. I never thought I would see this in Thailand #ChiangMaiSmog #ฝุ่นละออง #ฝุ่นกรุงเทพ #ฝุ่นพัทยา #ThailandSmog #PM25 https://t.co/VDIFLR79N5

@RichardBarrow Rare and fatty sounds great ;)

@dysinger @RichardBarrow @o__hendrik__o No money, no machinery, more & more tenant farmers under constant pressure with rapid crop rotation, without gov cash and big landowner investment nothing will change

@RichardBarrow Not a great time for a weekend trip from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi either this Saturday. Meteoblue forecasts #PM25 peaking at 1000!

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

Chiang Rai next 5 days peaks in the purple hazardous #PM25 range at +300 (#AQI 350+). Stay safe and wear a mask up there in the north. Or Isaan #ThailandSmog https://t.co/VDIFLR79N5

@samutsakhonjeff @RichardBarrow_ @rjhintz @RichardBarrow Only tests for 2 types of bacteria, chemical contamination is a lab job. Often talk of sewage in sea but all sewage goes into septic tanks in Pattaya, no communal sewage treatment system. It's dirty storm drain overflow. But would like to test

@WomenLearnThai @KristoferA Same observations

[Incident Alerts @Incident_Alerts]

#Thailand as #ASEAN Chair has the ability to put regional pollution on the agenda and start the process of change - but does it have the will to do so?

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

The ruse to confuse. #PM25 of 50 is NOT a safe level. AQI and PM2.5 are NOT the same thing. Get it, @thenation @BangkokPostNews ? Explained here https://t.co/wwU2ExKZe5

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

Is it in deepest Isaan? Somewhere in Chiang Mai province, perhaps? No. Earlier today at South Pattaya railway station #PM25 #ThailandSmog

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

Multiple air quality monitoring stations in northern Thailand have been switched off over the past three days. Some were showing particulate matter readings in the 500s for both #PM25 and #PM10 #ThailandSmog #ChiangMaiSmog https://t.co/VDIFLR79N5

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

@eeccait Yes but explain why when it’s bad in BKK - static air, E/NE airflow, thermal inversion - is AQI just as bad or worse in a village 100, 200km away, if local vehicle emissions contribute over 50% of pollutants in the Big Mango? https://t.co/1ZBFxjJ11k

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

@RobertB174 My point exactly. But article says >50% of Bkk pollution during winter months is vehicle emissions. #ISmellBS

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

Yes but explain why when it’s bad in BKK is AQI just as bad or worse in the countryside 100, 200km away, if vehicle emissions contribute over 50% of pollutants in the Big Mango? Sorry, but #logicfail - or something worse.

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

@bajinder @qs Every time I ask the same question. Why during the period of stagnant air and airflow from the E/NE, is the AQI as bad & sometimes worse outside Bkk 100km away, if vehicle emissions contribute over 50%? It just does not add up, sorry. https://t.co/oqygQx4rv6

[PollutionWatchThai @thai_watch]

Sorry.. you said you didn’t smoke? If you were in #ChiangMai at #AQI 191 yesterday you inhaled the equivalent of 15 cigarettes #PM25 #ThailandSmog
