Bangkok is in lockdown as pollution levels soar, forcing schools to close and residents to stay indoors for safety
Bangkok: The city is facing a serious pollution crisis. It’s so bad that officials have shut down schools and warned everyone to stay indoors.
The air is filled with harmful dust, making it hard to breathe. Levels of PM2.5 particles have skyrocketed, hitting over 77 micrograms per cubic meter. That’s way above the safe limit.
Many schools have switched to online classes. People are advised to wear masks if they have to go outside. Vulnerable groups, like kids and the elderly, need to be especially careful.
The government is urging everyone to avoid outdoor activities and seek medical help if they feel unwell. They’re also asking residents to use public transport instead of driving.
It’s a tough time for Bangkok, a city that many love to visit. Let’s hope the air quality improves soon so everyone can breathe easy again.
