Small dust particles were likely to increase in the North, especially in Mae Ai district in Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son provinces, Phadon Thawornkritcharat, head of Lamphun Natural Resources and Environment Office, said yesterday.
He said two measuring stations in both provinces found that PM10 dust exceeded the accepted safety level of 120 micrograms per cubic metre, which could affect people’s health. PM10 dust particles ranged from 59 to 167 micrograms per cubic metre over 25 hours.
