If you're in the Pattaya are, you're welcome to borrow my PM 2.5 detector to measure how effective the purifier is in your office. Any other BM is also welcome to borrow the detector. If it turns out one is not enough, then purchase a 2nd one. If you don't go in and out of your office that much, you may find the smaller unit is sufficient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I didn't mention in my earlier post. Area vs volume. Purifier manufacturers are happy to claim "suitable for X sqm but you might have to dig into the specs to see what volume of air they process in an hour. Some air purifiers include an activated charcoal stage so they remove fumes/gases as well as particulate matter. When did you last replace the filter element in the aircon, they don't last forever. Air purifiers available from Power Buy, might give you some idea of what you're looking form https://www.powerbuy.co.th/en/air-care/air-treatment/air-purifiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It's that time of year again... City residents warned of PM2.5 surge Bangkok residents are being warned to brace for higher levels of hazardous particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), as so-called stagnant air is expected to intensify from tomorrow until Tuesday because of a drop in wind speeds. Wish they would get it right. It's not a drop in wind speeds that causes an increase in pollution levels, it's the seasonal cold weather inversion layer that is keeping the shit close to the ground. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 This was taken yesterday afternoon from a point on Beach Road near Soi 6. The photograph was taken into the sun. No post processing to make it look more or less misty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 No scientific measurements but the air quality seemed as bad as I had seen it for some time. First few pictures taken from Naklua Road area looking firstly towards Naklua and then moving towards the Terminal 21 mall. The rest are taken from Beach Road. No post processing done to reduce or enhance the haze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get back to CM next smoke season I'll get two air purifiers for my 2 bedroom condo. It also has 3 new A/C units. I'll be cranking all of them sums of bitches 24/7 during smoke season.

forcebwithu Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Tomorrow not looking good. Then again they predicted today would be just as bad and we're only in the moderate range rather than unhealthy. On the plus side, with all the particulate matter in the air it should make for colorful sunrises and sunsets. https://www.iqair.com/thailand/chon-buri/pattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Today is not off to a good start AQI wise. Didn't realize my home PM2.5 detector flashes red when the number goes over 114, that's a first since I bought it last year. Temperature wise today should be a beautiful day, but unfortunately I'm going to have to close the window and door to my home office and turn on the A/C so my air purifier can do its thing.

john luke Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not looking bad today. Some haze but not that much. I do tend to view it from the point of view of how clear does it look, a purely subjective test. Pollution does affect visibility, as does humidity, dust in the air and even pockets of air at different temperatures. On occasions visibility is OK yet an air quality measurement shows poor.
