Bangkok, Dec 14 (EFE/EPA).- Air pollution hit levels classified "unhealthy" on Monday in and around the Thai capital, Bangkok, according to an air quality report by the Department of Pollution Control. 34 areas in Bangkok and surrounding provinces have levels of air pollutant PM2.5 - fine particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter - exceeding the safety standard. Bangkok was ranked sixth in the list of cities with the worst air quality in the world, with 168 points in the Air Quality Index, according to Air Visual, which monitors air quality across the world. PM2.5 levels - which indicate the number of particles smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter - increased to 59 micrograms per cubic meter, more than double of what is deemed safe by the World Health Organizaton.
