GISTDA reveals 5 provinces with PM 2.5 dust values exceeding the standard in the red level. Samut Sakhon was found to have the highest increase, while heat points increased by 59 points.
On December 13, 2023, it was reported that the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Public Organization) or GISTDA reveals the PM 2.5 dust situation, stating that GISTDA follows the PM 2.5 dust situation on an hourly basis. With data from satellites through the “Dust Check” application at 9:00 a.m., 5 provinces of Thailand were found. The dust level exceeds the standard and affects health at the red level. The highest was in Samut Sakhon at 95.2 micrograms, followed by Nakhon Pathom, Rayong, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, while another 28 provinces exceeded the orange level standard. that began to affect health
Meanwhile, in Bangkok, PM 2.5 dust values exceeding the red level standards were found in 29 districts, the highest in Bangkok Yai, followed by Thonburi, Nong Khaem, Khlong San, Bang Kho Laem, etc. Another 21 districts found dust values exceeding the orange level standards.
Application “Check dust” Still predicting the amount of PM 2.5 dust in the next 3 hours. It was found that many areas still had air quality values that exceeded standards in the orange to red level. The information on the application “Check dust” Satellite technology is used together with AI (Artificial intelligence) to analyze PM 2.5 dust values on an hourly basis in all areas throughout the country. together with the use of PM 2.5 measurement data from the Pollution Control Department, weather data From the Meteorological Department Including information on dust sources such as heat points and many other related information. To be presented in the form of numerical data. and color values at various levels So that users can understand the situation more easily.
However, from heat spot data reported by GISTDA on December 12, 2023, 259 heat spots were found throughout the country, an increase from 59 yesterday. Most were found in agricultural areas, 175 spots, followed by community areas and others, 33 spots. P.K. 32 spots, 14 spots in national reserved forests, 3 spots along highways, and 2 spots in protected forests. For agricultural areas, most of them are rice fields, 147 spots, and sugarcane plantations, 22 spots. For provinces where the highest number of heat spots were found. The first 3 places are Nakhon Sawan with 24 points, followed by Phichit with 21 points and Phayao with 14 points.
In addition, neighboring countries with the next hottest spots include Burma with 116 spots, Cambodia with 114 spots, Vietnam with 65 spots, and Laos with 20 spots.
People should wear masks at all times when out in the open. To prevent consequences that may follow, especially diseases related to the respiratory system. You can track additional hourly PM 2.5 data through the application. “Check dust”
