Causes ofPM2.5
in Thailand
PM2.5 is particulate matter with a size not exceeding 2.5 microns, which is a major air pollution problem in Thailand. It affects health, the environment, and the economy. Analysis reveals that the sources of PM2.5 include
Open burning
(agriculture, forestry, and waste management)
Transportation
Industry
Construction
Energy sector
Satellite technology can effectively, comprehensively, and continuously detect PM2.5, burning in agricultural and forest areas, and hotspots without needing to access the actual location.
Given the current situation, Thaicom recognizes the importance of satellite technology in tracking the sources of air pollution and monitoring air quality with precision and continuity. This helps enhance the management of dust problems in the country, addressing environmental challenges and improving the quality of life for citizens sustainably.
