The meaning of the green flag:
PM2.5 15.1 – 25 µg./m³ = good air quality
The meaning of the yellow flag:
PM2.5 25.1 – 37.5 µg./m³ = moderate air quality
The meaning of the orange flag:
PM2.5 37.6 – 75 µg./m³ = Unhealthy air quality for sensitive groups
The meaning of the red flag:

Countermeasure
For levels between 37.6-75 µg./m³
It is predicted that there will be an upward trend. Educational institution directors can order closure for no more than 3 days at a time. District directors can order closure for no more than 7 days at a time.
For levels higher than 75 µg./m³
The dust situation is expected to continue unabated and will likely continue to increase for 3 consecutive days. Educational institution directors can order closure for no more than 15 days at a time.
For levels higher than 75 µg./m³ Over 2-3 district areas
The dust situation is expected to continue unabated and will likely continue to increase for 3 consecutive days. It depends on the discretion of the Governor of Bangkok to issue an order to close schools for an indefinite time.
