7 dangerous days, PM2.5 dust has exceeded standards in many provinces since the new year. News 07 Jan 2020 The Pollution Control Department reports on the PM2.5 dust pollution situation, finding toxic dust levels in Bangkok. and many provinces in the central and northeastern regions The value has exceeded the highest standard since the new year. Academics explain the cause is because of weather fluctuations. But it is something that can be predicted in advance. The problem should be solved at the source of the dust. Today (January 7, 2020), the website reporting hourly fine dust values by the Pollution Control Department reveals that dust values in many areas are higher than the 24-hour average standard that Thailand has set at 50 micrograms/cubic meter (January 7) . g/cubic meter ).

Highest on 6 Jan. %Thank you for the photo from: Pollution Control Department while the hydrological station Water Resources Office Region 4, Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province, found high dust levels for three consecutive days, the highest at 103 micrograms/cubic meter tod PM2.5 dust concentration values, Muang District, Khon Kaen // Thank you for the photo from: Pollution Control Department Sondhi Kotchawat, expert of the Thai Environmental Scholars Club And one of the sub-committee members considering guidelines for preventing and solving the problem of small dust PM2.5 posted on Facebook that the reason dust was returning to Thai people again. It is because of high pressure covering the country. and the wind in Thailand weakens In addition, for the Bangkok area It is also because of the large number of vehicles and traffic congestion due to schools and universities being open. Meanwhile, the central and northeastern regions enter the sugarcane harvest season.
This causes a lot of sugarcane fields to be burned between January and mid-May. In the northern region, they began burning stubble and corn straw. Even though there is a time period forbidding burning, But there are still many areas that were contested and burned before. Satellite images in the VIIRS system show the hotspot situation, which represents the area where wood burning occurred on January 6, 2020. Thailand's hotspots were found to be the second highest in Asia after Cambodia. A total of 1,286 points appeared. Asst. Prof. Dr. Thanaphon Penrat, Lecturer in Environmental Engineering Naresuan University points out that inversion weather conditions that prevent air circulation and cause dust accumulation like now are a natural phenomenon that can be predicted in advance from weather model data and the government can enact laws to control activities that cause it. Cause dust such as building roads and factories. before those projects are implemented Since the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, the government cannot blame the cause of dust on the weather only.
