Haze generated by smoke from Indonesian forest fires eased

 in Thailand’s southernmost provinces Wednesday even as it

worsened in Phuket, the Pollution Control Department said.

 Haze continued to cover the seven southern provinces of

 Narathiwat, Pattani, Phuket, Satun, Songkhla, Surat Thani,

 and Yala.

The department reported Wednesday morning that particulate

 matter decreased in the six other provinces but rose in Phuket.

 Particulate matter stood at 57 microgrammes per cubic metre

 of air in Narathiwat, 73 in Pattani, 92 in Satun, 110 in Songkhla,

 77 in Surat Thani, and 66 in Yala.

The upper limit of for healthy air is 120 microgrammes

per cu/m.

Normally, particulate matter in the South comes in below 40

 microgrammes per cu/m, the department said.

Pollution levels in Phuket, however, rose from 146

on Tuesday to 174 microgrammes per cu/m Wednesday

 morning.

 Haze cut visibility at Phuket airport to less than 1,000 metres

 and caused delays and diversions of 13 flights in the morning.

 Pollution levels can be monitored online at Air4Thai.pcd.go.th

 or via the Air4Thai application.

As the haze generated by the smoke from Indonesian forest

fire so it should be the cooperation between the two

 government especially the Indonesian government to stop

the forest fire to make pollution to neighborhood country.

 

All can be solved if we have responsibility for the whole

world we live.

 

Sincerely Yours.
