Environment : Sukhumvit going 'dustiest'

Sukhumvit has the dustiest roads in Bangkok, according to a survey by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, which measures air quality three times a year using sensors installed at designated locations for 24-hour monitoring.

Several parts of Sukhumvit returned a reading close to 300mpcm (million particles per cubic metre) of dust compared to the standard 120mpcm.

The dust particle count at Udomsuk intersection was 297mpcm; at Soi Sukhumvit 59 junction (Wattana district) 288mpcm; and Ekamai bus terminal (Khlong Toey district) 240mpcm.

Other parts of the city returning higher than standard dust count were Rama III Road (231mpcm) and Si Phraya intersection in Bangrak district (225mpcm).

The survey revealed the high level of health risk, especially respiratory diseases, the average Bangkokian was exposed to. For its part, the BMA plans to clean roads more frequently and plant more trees on traffic islands, footpaths and bus stops.

Summary, this article told us that how our Bangkok dirty . They show us to think before

illness everyday. That problem are major method such as cancer and allergy
