The air quality in Chiang Mai remains low, especially in Chiang Dao and Hot districts, where forest fires have been reported.
Meanwhile, in the tourist town of Pai in Mae Hong Son, the concentration of PM2.5 pollutants in the atmosphere reached 105 microgrammes per cubic metre (µg/m³), more than twice the safe threshold of 50µg/m³.
Chiang Mai governor Nirat Pongsitthaworn said state agencies are deploying their resources to fight the fires, which have been raging for about a week, blanketing parts of the city with smoke.
The air quality index (AQI) in the province’s Muang district remained at moderate levels yesterday, but the figure shot up to 289 and 276 in Chiang Dao and Hot districts respectively, which is considered very unhealthy.
