The PM 2.5 air pollution crisis in the northern region, persistently escalating since 2018, has now reached levels significantly exceeding regulatory standards across all affected areas. This issue is particularly prominent in Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Mae Hong Son, Lampang, Lamphun, Phayao, and Nan provinces, profoundly impacting the health of the populace. PM 2.5 significantly affects health and respiratory systems, both in the long term and short term.
In a demonstration of corporate social responsibility, Dr. Hygiene Medical Products Co., Ltd., a Thai manufacturer of KN95 and N95 face masks, has supported 1,000 masks to the Social Welfare Division of Chiang Mai Municipality. This initiative aims to provide vital protection against the worsening PM 2.5 dust situation in Chiang Mai, particularly for underprivileged residents.
Mrs. Watcharaphorn Lin, executive director and Ms. Nuttaporn Kwankong, sales and marketing manager, being the representatives of Dr. Hygiene Medical Products Co., Ltd., the first northern KN95 medical mask manufacturer and distributor, received a prize at the Best Biz and Products Awards 2023 organized by the Council Network for Promotion of Business and Economic Development Institute of Thailand and ASEAN Network Thailand. It was honored by M.C. Ticomporn Yugala to preside over the award ceremony. The event was held on January 29, 2023, at Amari Don Muang Airport Hotel in Bangkok.
