Thailand authorities have found a new way to combat smog, hanging over Bangkok - they started using airplanes to disperse ice water or dry ice into the air. However, it turned out that this method works slowly.
Since December over Bangkok, at the beginning of the dry season, there is a thick toxic cloud, mainly associated with emissions from vehicles, industrial enterprises, and agricultural fires.
Specialists began to perform flights twice a day at an altitude of 1500 meters, to disperse products that cool the thermal radiation and help settle the polluted particles on the ground. "The level of PM2.5 particles has decreased," says expert Shanti Detiuth from the Korolevsk Administration for Artificial Precipitation.
However, critics of this method from Thailand claim that its effectiveness is insufficiently substantiated. The aircraft of ice release larger blue plastic containers with 1 ton of ice water. On other days, the airplanes release carbon dioxide (CO2) in the form of dry ice.
