This image shows a high concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a significant air pollutant concern, over Bangkok. Vehicular emissions, industrial activities, construction dust, and agricultural burning contributes to the high levels of PM2.5 pollution the city experiences. These tiny particles can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, leading to a range of health issues, including respiratory and cardiovascular problems. The Government of Thailand and local authorities are implementing measures to mitigate PM2.5 pollution, such as promoting emissions controls, encouraging public transportation, and raising awareness about the importance of air quality.
