Gonna get bad in another month or so. Going to buy two or three air purifiers for the new house and hunker down. Covid, High b.p. and smoke - not a great combo.

forcebwithu Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Walking the dogs this morning the smell of smoke was heavy on the air. After the walk was kind of surprised to see the AQI is only at a moderate level, thought it would be in the high range based on the smell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen days in Chiang Mai where it was rolling down the road like a thick fog. I've never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yes, as bad as I've known it in Pattaya today. Distinctly unhealthy and unpleasant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Glad to have the airfilter. Feel every pollution particle in my nose. Why did I think that living nearby the sea would get me fresh air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 AQI is 95 in my home office. Time to close the windows and door and turn on my air filter. Shame as during the cooler months it's nice not having to live in an A/C cooled room. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Had to cut my morning bike ride short because of the poor air quality. I don't smoke, but I think I would have been healthier staying home and smoking a pack of cigarettes than inhaling the air outside. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greater chance of unfiltered particles. Dawg knows what is floating around out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampariO Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 My renter bought an air purifier but never used it. He had to leave earlier than planned and is now selling the unit, still in the box it was delivered in. https://wedo-air.com/smart-air-the-sqair-air-purifier/ The one he bought comes with a carbon filter, those without are a bit cheaper. Easy to operate, just one button to change the fan speed. It doesn't have any indication about the air quality index. He is asking for 2500 Baht. If interested, please sent a pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Sharp model. A great investment for anyone living here as it's cheap insurance to protect your lungs. I just closed up my home office and turned on my air purifier. Five minutes later my PM2.5 detector is showing a drop from 134 to 82. Expect in the next 15 minutes it will stabilize at around 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fforest Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The cost to have clean air 24/7/365 in your house or Condo is minimal.... Everyone that lives in Pattaya should buy a air cleaner if they care about their health....I run mine all year.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy at least one today for the new crib, but they were out of stock. It's my number one priority. I'll be looking again tomorrow. This smoke situation is getting real bad.

Decided not to go out this afternoon and at the point I check the readings HH, was worse than either BKK or Patts.

forcebwithu Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 This may have contributed to our misery here. Elevated levels of PM2.5 in Bangkok point to raging rubbish dump fire in Samut Prakan Bangkok, Thailand, has seen the worst air pollution levels of the year so far today. An uncontrollable fire raging for two days straight at a rubbish dump in Samut Prakan province, just south of the capital, has pumped PM2.5 dust into the air. A fire has plagued a landfill site in the Phraeksa district since Tuesday night in an area covering more than 100 rai of land. Praeksa district firefighters deployed over 20 fire engines but the fire is still not under control two days later. Local residents are complaining about suffering from a cough, sore throat, burning eyes, and a foul smell in the air. Residents are taking out their daily tasks with great difficulty amid the thick smog. At 8am this morning, the Air Quality Index (AQI) measured a “very unhealthy” (purple) 262 in Samut Prakan. In Bangkok, levels hit an “unhealthy” 198 this morning (red). At 10am, Bangkok was ranked the third worst city in the world for air pollution. ... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
