“…Dejchanchaiwong et al (2020) [ 19 ] found fires in Thailand and Cambodia to be a contributor to a haze episode in Bangkok. Aman et al 2022 [ 20 ] analyzed two low-visibility events in Bangkok, both of which were partly affected by biomass burning.…”

“…Haze pollution is frequently experienced in GBK during the dry season when the daily PM 2.5 exceeds the daily National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) of 50 µg m −3 several times per year as reported by the Pollution Control Department (PCD) [ 13 ]. This haze pollution is related to the emission from on-road vehicles [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], biomass burning [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], and unfavorable meteorological conditions induced by cold surges in Greater Bangkok [ 7 , 20 ].…”

“…The highest excess risk of mortality from exposure to PM 2.5 in Bangkok was 2.61%, as calculated using Equation (5). This shows that the percentage increase in respiratory disease-related deaths was higher than that found in a study involving 272 cities in China, which reported an ER of 0.29% (95% CI, 0.17-0.42%) [30], and in a study conducted in New England (USA), with an ER of 0.41% (95% CI, 0.16-0.65%) [44].…”

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the greatest burden of outdoor air pollution, with 91% of the 4.2 million premature deaths, is in low-and middle-income countries in the western Pacific and southeast Asia regions [2]. In the case of Bangkok, Thailand, its air pollution situation is frequently severe during the dry season, when the atmospheric conditions are stable and the winds are light [3][4][5]. Health impacts due to exposure to air pollution in the city remain a key public health concern [6].…”

“…Lee et al (2017) used the WRF-Chem model to investigate the effect of biomass-burning aerosol on low-visibility events in Bangkok and other cities in Southeast Asia. Aman et al (2022) reported two visibility events in the winter of 2014 and 2015 affected by the synergetic effect of particulate pollution and meteorology. Recently, visibility-related studies across the world have started using machine learning (ML) models for visibility prediction using particulate matter and meteorological variables as input data (Kim et al 2022a; Kim et al 2022b; Penov and Guerova 2023) and the importance of different features is identi ed by feature importance plots (Kim et al 2022a; Penov and Guerova 2023).…”
