The first layer catches larger pollution particles such as dust and PM10, followed by the Three-Ply Micro Particulate Filter which stops nearly 100% of smaller particulate matter such as PM2.5 and PM0.3.The inner filtration layer is made from a 100% pure activated carbon cloth, which was originally developed by the UK Ministry of Defence for chemical, biological and nuclear warfare protection.The carbon filter is also treated with silver to ensure almost 100% of harmful pathogens are removed and killed.

#1 city worst air in the world, worse than Delhi, which has 19 million people.

Instead, opt for a facemask/respirator which is certified to screen against the smallest and most damaging airborne impurities, and, ideally, one with a layer of activated charcoal to additionally absorb the smell of smoke; the efficiency rating of the filter attached to such facemasks/respirators is defined by a couple of major standards:Although a number of different brands of facemask/respirator are represented locally, by far the most popular for everyday use during Chiang Mai’s crop burning season are the sundry disposable It’s important to know that such facemasks/respirators are designed for use by an adult in good health (since, when worn, relatively more effort is required to breathe) and that they should be comfortable to wear but very close-fitting to ensure entry of unfiltered air is duly minimised.All that said, asthmatics and those sensitive, allergic or otherwise greatly susceptible to airborne contaminants should certainly think twice about being in Chiang Mai between approximately the last week of February and the first week of April.The other major source of atmospheric pollutants in Chiang Mai but posing a health risk year-round is exhaust emissions belched out by poorly maintained and unregulated diesel engines, most notably those of songthaew and tuk tuk. The AQI has been in the 400's, going over 500 some days, that's hazardous levels. Hearing pollution is terribly bad right now.

Thanks The world haze map showed Chiang Rai the worst in the world.oh boy i live the the most polluted air in the world.
you're right, what people don't realise is that just because you're inside, does not mean the air is a good.

It's a disgrace that this allowed to continue. Not that its ever stopped me either. Local farmers throughout northern Thailand as well as those in neighbouring Laos and Myanmar continue to practice traditional ‘slash and burn’ typically between late February and early April each year.Post-harvest rice and maize (corn) fields in particular are set ablaze round-the-clock in order to clear the land of plant remains and, at the same time, fertilise the soil in preparation for the replanting of crops ahead of the rainy season.

I think the issue in the developed world is primarily the air-quality health concerns. Unfortunately, the resultant smoke, haze, dust and debris creates not only widespread and chronic air pollution in and around Chiang Mai but also imparts a lingering campfire-like smell and, in places, a covering layer of fine ash.The adverse effects are accentuated by Chiang Mai’s prevailing wind patterns and physical topography (being located in a natural basin surrounded by mountains with an overlying inversion layer), and contributed to by the incineration of domestic and commercial waste as well as by forest fires started either deliberately to encourage the growth of the highly prized wild ‘hed thob’ mushroom or to clear the land for cultivation, or secondarily, through fires triggered by wind-borne smouldering embers.Seasonal crop burning has long been a perennial –and emotionally charged- issue in Chiang Mai, and although the scale, intensity and duration of the phenomenon vary somewhat from year to year, at best the effects are unpleasant and at worst, positively dangerous.
When I first arrived, people told me that the foul air pollution of March and April was slowly being counteracted by public and private action and policy. Crop burning, or slash and burn, as it has been historically known, is a major cause of pollution in Chiang Mai and much of the North of Thailand.Actually, it happens all over Thailand, but Chiang Mai has a torrid reputation for producing the worst haze (smog).One reason for this is that it is surrounded by a number of mountains, namely Doi Suthep, Doi Saket, Doi Inthanon and Doi Khun Tan.These mountains form a trap around the area, which contains the dense smoke from crop burning and allows it to linger over the area.Burning fields create a dense layer of smoke below along the foothills of Chiang mAICrop burning happens all over SE Asia, and in recent years haze from Indonesia and Malaysia has severely affected air quality in the South of Thailand.The 2015 Southeast Asian haze was an air pollution crisis affecting several countries in Southeast Asia, including Brunei, Indonesia (especially its islands of Sumatra and Borneo), Malaysia, Singapore, southern Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines.It was the latest occurrence of the Southeast Asian haze, a long-term issue that occurs in varying intensity during every dry season in the region.It was caused by forest fires resulting from illegal slash-and-burn practices, principally on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, which then spread quickly in the dry season. Post-harvest rice and maize (corn) fields in particular are set ablaze round-the-clock in order to clear the land of plant remains and, at the same time, fertilise the soil in preparation for the replanting of crops ahead of the rainy season.

Hi, am going to chiang mai with family next week. Although the volume of traffic in Chiang Mai–even at peak hours and along major highways—isn’t in the same league as that of Bangkok, for example, it’s nevertheless sensible to take one or more of the precautions outlined above to guard against breathing in lungs-full of noxious waste exhaust gases when outdoors.The last thing you want when you arrive in a new city is to stress about trying to find decent accommodation and transport.

The choice is yours whether to take a chance or not. It is often applied in shifting cultivation agriculture (such as in the Amazon rainforest) and in transhumance livestock herding.The technique is not scalable or sustainable for large human populations. Local farmers throughout northern Thailand as well as those in neighbouring Laos and Myanmar continue to practice traditional ‘slash and burn’ typically between late February and early April each year. This compound accelerates the body’s ability to detoxify from various pollutants, heal cells and prevent cancer.

CHIANG MAI: Thailand's prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday (Apr 2) gave the smog-hit northern city of Chiang Mai seven days to crack down on its spiralling pollution problem.
