It never rains, but instead it poursAs the rainy season comes to an end, the population of Bangkok and its neighbouring provinces are readying to brave the return of PM2.5 dust particles that have been clouding the sky as reported recently by the Department of Pollution Control. While the pandemic is still causing trouble, a new enemy is now lurking near our doorsteps -- known universally as dust particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres. This group is one of the most vulnerable for Covid-19 and PM2.5 and both also happen to target the lungs. It seems that between the Covid-19 outbreak and now PM2.5, the world is really showing no mercy on Thailand at all. However, for now, let's just be kind to the environment and prepare for the next big headaches in years to come.
