Air quality in Chiang Mai



The air is a problem here. There is a mountain to the West and so much smog (if that's what you call it) fills the air you cannot see the mountain. A visible portion of the population here walks through life wearing a mask to filter out dirty air particles. This is worthy of note and provokes the question why. My family doctor here wears a mask sitting behind her desk. When I see bikers and joggers going down the street and realize they not wearing the masks I wonder about that. I would think the air for them and their lungs to be a much greater issue. They are processing more air than we are, those not jogging or riding bikes. I hack up Flem balls from just walking to the buss stop. What kind of Flem ball are the jogger/biker hacking up? ----- this is one of the down sides to life in Chiang Mai.
