Ministry of Public Health by GISTDA in collaboration with the National Research Council of Thailand, Department of Pollution Control, Kasetsart University and Chiang Mai University Hourly follow the PM 2.5 dust situation. With data from satellites through the “Dust Check” application as of 10:00 am on January 30, 2024, it was found that in 14 provinces dust levels exceed red level standards which impact health and respiratory system , including Samut Sakhon, Samut Prakan, Samut Songkhram, Ratchaburi, Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Pathum Thani, Phetchaburi, Kanchanaburi, Suphan Buri, Ang Thong, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya and Nakhon Nayok.
As for Bangkok, PM2.5 dust values were found to be higher than the standards in each district and dust values exceeded the standards in the red level which have an impact on health and the respiratory system. The highest levels were Pathumwan with 116.9 micrograms, Ratchathewi with 116.6 micrograms, Pom Prap Sattru Phai with 113.3 micrograms and Bangkok Yai with 113.1 micrograms.
The “Dust Check” application also predicts the amount of PM 2.5 dust in the next 3 hours. It has been found that many areas will have air quality values that remain at the orange and red levels in many areas. The data from the “Dust Check” application uses satellite technology together with AI (Artificial Intelligence) to analyze PM 2.5 dust values in all areas of the country on an hourly basis. along with the use of PM 2.5 measurement data from the Pollution Control Department, meteorological data From the Meteorological Department Including information on dust sources such as hot spots and many other related information. Presented in the form of numerical data and color values at various levels so that users can understand the situation more easily.
People should always wear masks when in open spaces. To prevent possible consequences, especially diseases of the respiratory system. And additional hourly PM2.5 data can be monitored via the “Dust Check” application.
