The owner explained that the pollution levels in Samut Prakan Province were so alarming that even her cat, which has a respiratory problem, was sneezing blood.

She expressed hope that the pollution crisis would improve soon, pointing out that pollution can also affect cats and dogs, especially breeds with short noses.

She urged pet owners to consider providing their pets with an air purifier.

PM2.5 pollution has been getting worse

PM2.5 pollution is a kind of pollution involving fine particles in the air. It has been an ongoing issue in Thailand for years, impacting numerous individuals nationwide.

Recently, Bangkok was listed as one of the ten most polluted cities in the world, with its Air Quality Index (AQI) ranging from 170 to 200.

Several other cities in the country have also reported AQI levels exceeding 100.

The crisis is primarily attributed to traffic exhaust fumes and forest burning.

People are advised to avoid engaging in outdoor activities and wear proper masks if they need to go outside.

Netizens concerned about animals’ well-being amid pollution

Many netizens and pet owners expressed concern about the impact of pollution on animals.

One netizen expressed sympathy for the cat.
