The hazardous haze returned to five areas of the capital on Wednesday, but the average dust level was reported to be moderate.

The Air4Thai website said the level of PM2.5 dust particles was recorded between 24-61 microgrammes per cubic metre.

Most of Bangkok’s areas are facing dust that is slightly higher than the approved standard level of 50 microgrammes per cubic metre.

The amount of airborne dust particles in Thawee Wanarom Park (Thawi Watthana district), Thawi Watthana, Nong Khaem, Sai Mai and Taling Chan districts were above the safety limit and could affect the health of residents in these areas.
