TrueBreath - Smoke Equivalence Calculator - Bangkok

Breathing air in Bangkok is equivalent to smoking approximately 4.8 cigarettes per day, based on the current PM2.5 level of 106.0 μg/m³.

Bangkok's current PM2.5 level is 106.0 μg/m³. The WHO safe limit is 15 μg/m³ for 24-hour exposure. This exceeds the safe limit and poses health risks.

With a PM2.5 level of 106.0 μg/m³, Bangkok's air quality poses significant health risks, especially for sensitive groups. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and reduced life expectancy.

The Real-Time Air Quality Index (AQI) in Bangkok is 177. This is considered Unhealthy. AQI values above 100 indicate unhealthy air quality, especially for sensitive groups.

The primary pollutant affecting Bangkok's air quality is PM2.5. This pollutant is the main contributor to the current AQI of 177 and PM2.5 level of 106.0 μg/m³.

Bangkok's current PM10 level is 46.0 μg/m³, while PM2.5 is 106.0 μg/m³. PM10 particles are larger (2.5-10 micrometers) and less harmful than PM2.5, which can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream.

The current ozone (O3) level in Bangkok is 12.7 μg/m³. Ozone is a harmful gas that can cause respiratory problems, especially during physical activity. The WHO guideline for 8-hour exposure is 100 μg/m³.

The nitrogen dioxide (NO2) level in Bangkok is currently 12.7 μg/m³. NO2 is primarily produced by vehicle emissions and industrial processes. High levels can worsen respiratory conditions and increase susceptibility to respiratory infections.
