Abstract

In northern Thailand, biomass burning is a major source of high concentrations of particulate matter with a diameter 80%) acquired by the Terra and Aqua satellites from January to May 2015–2019. Fire hotspots and problematic PM10 concentrations were most often correlated with agricultural land, followed by disturbed forests and dense forests. These results enabled us to identify critical areas where repeat burning and high PM10 levels should by prioritized for mitigation, such as the upland agricultural and forest areas of Wiang Sa District. Our methodology could benefit air pollution management in other developing countries with similar limitations.
