PRACTICAL TIPS FOR INDIVIDUALS

Check real-time air quality indexes (AQI) through apps like AirVisual or the Thai Pollution Control Department’s website before heading outdoors. Monitor Air Quality Daily N95 or KF94 masks effectively filter out fine particles and are recommended during high-pollution days. Wear High-Quality Masks

Improve Indoor Air Quality

Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to

reduce indoor PM 2.5 levels.

Keep windows closed during peak

pollution periods.

Incorporate indoor plants like snake

plants and peace lilies to help filter air.

Opt for Cleaner Transportation

Use electric or hybrid vehicles to reduce personal carbon footprints. Take advantage of Bangkok’s growing public transportation network. Avoid motorbike taxis, which contribute heavily to emissions.

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

As Bangkok continues to develop, sustainable urban planning and policy enforcement will play key roles in reducing pollution. Supporting eco-friendly businesses, advocating for stricter environmental policies, and participating in tree-planting campaigns can contribute to long-term air quality improvements.

Consume antioxidant-rich foods (such as fruits and vegetables) to combat oxidative stress from pollution exposure. Stay hydrated to help flush toxins from the body. Exercise indoors when air quality is poor to avoid inhaling pollutants.
