“…NaCl sources are often interpreted as long distance transport of maritime sources (º, Wiriya & Chantara, 2008;Chansuebsri et al, 2021Chansuebsri et al, , 2022. However, the lack of visible stoechiometric behaviour in variations cast some doubt on this potential dominant origin (*) and other origin have been suggested such as solid waste burning (Pengchai et al, 2009;Pongpiachan et al, 2022). KCl and NH 4 Cl are common fertilisers and herbicides (Sillapapiromsuk et al, 2013;Khamkaew et al, 2016).…”

“…Sugarcane burning is a pre-harvest process with a high emission factor that occur during the haze episode. However, while it is a very significant source of pollution in Isaan and the central plains, the production of sugarcane in northern provinces is limited to the southern fringe with small fields in Tak, Phrae and Uttaradit provinces (Pornprakun et al, 2019;Jarumaneeroj & Akkerman, 2021;Pongpiachan et al, 2022) and has an insignificant impact on the air pollution of most of Northern Thailand (*).…”

The mountainous part of northern Thailand is subject to an intense haze episode occurring almost every year between January and May. In the last couple of decades, this atmospheric phenomenon has been extensively covered in the media and is now a main concern for the population living in this area. In this review, we synthesized the information available from hundreds of publications on air pollution in Northern Thailand and surrounding regions. The review is tentatively comprehensive, including physical and chemical characteristics of air pollution, their emission sources and meteorological and climatological factors playing in the onset of haze. The effect on human health, the environment and development of agricultural, conservationist and technological practices is also covered. A significant part also focus on the socio-economical causes and solutions that have been brought by successive governments and organizations to solve this issue.

“…4), providing further evidence of the important influence of biomass burning in the study region. Other chemical markers such as water-soluble ionic species and the diagnostic ratio between organic carbon and elemental carbon (OC/EC) are also widely used as biomass burning tracers (Pongpiachan et al, 2022b). The concentration of species such as potassium and water-soluble dissolved carbon in rainwater and PM collected in the same study region showed a large increase during the dry season, when the majority of the biomass fires occurs (Gonçalves et al, 2017;Coelho et al, 2011).…”
