Burning Season Volunteers Return,
Thailand March 6, 2022
Burning season is back. Today’s Air Quality Index in Chiang Mai hit 168 (https://aqicn.org). Higher Air Quality Index levels like todays suggest that some members of the general public may experience health effects and that members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. The soaring AQI levels confirm that the fires in the Chiang Mai mountains have begun to rage once again. While most Chiang Mai residents are preparing air purifiers and filtered masks to protect themself from the hazardous air, other residents are hitting the forest and volunteering to fight the flames.
