Description

Air pollution data in Bangkok, Thailand, indicate that levels of particulate matter
with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM10) are significantly higher than in most cities in North
America and Western Europe, where the health effects of PM10 are well documented. However, the
pollution mix, seasonality, and demographics are different from those in developed Western countries.
It is important, therefore, to determine whether the large metropolitan area of Bangkok is
subject to similar effects of PM10.
