Considered dangerous to health While Thailand determines the danger of PM 2.5 dust to be more than 50 micrograms per cubic meter.

At present, PM 2.5 dust has become a national agenda. and is considered a public health crisis in Thailand Whether it is children, adults, the elderly, and all groups of people at risk of having to live amid toxic dust and smoke. Originally, we may not have thought that PM 2.5 would have any impact on our health because it is so small that it cannot be seen. But because of its small size, it can accumulate in the brain. Through at least 3 channels:

1. Through the nasal cavity wall, the olfactory brain interface. It will penetrate up to the lower frontal brain.

2. Passes into the lungs enters the trachea Then absorbed into the bloodstream that flows to the brain.

3. Passes into the digestive tract By swallowing air that has tiny dust particles mixed in while talking and then absorbing it into the bloodstream. or change the microorganisms and environment in the digestive tract before circulating to the brain
