A man seen wearing a face mask as a protective measure against the air pollution in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai became a highly polluted city from forest fires caused by farmers preparing their fields for new plants. The Pollution Control Department (PCD) reported that PM2.5 dust in the atmosphere in Chiang Mai is 182 microns, which has exceeded the standard level, ranging from 32-182 microns. Forest fires and agricultural burning contribute to the worsening of the air quality in the province and cause health issues. (Photo by Pongmanat Tasiri / SOPA Images/Sipa USA)
