If by using this method, people would be complaining , the water dirty their clothing ( water stain cannot wash off how) , stain cars, acidic... etc. [laugh]

 

It is not feasible as haze cover whole singapore and water spray/jet, how large area can it cover? It will end up create dirty water that does not help anything but make people more piss of with the water stains.

 

 

ya.. next thing pple will ask for air purified for every household

the best thing is to solve the problem at the source...

I have some half-baked out-of-the-box ideas which I am sure our army of gov scholars can improve on....

in view of the lack of clouds here for cloud-seeding, we could come up with other ways of "creating rain" to artificially reduce the haze here...

 

1. Install /hook up water sprays from all HBD rooftops and spray fine mist (water tanks are already available there)

2. Do the same thing from all high-rise commercial buildings in Shenton Way etc where facilities are available

3. Load up some C130s with 1000L totes (of water) and start releasing similar fine mist (same way jetliners dump jetfuel before an impending crash landing)

4. Dispatch some barges on our reservoirs to suck up water and boil up steam to attack the problem 'bottom up'.

 

This artificial spraying can never replicate real God-given rain but the fine misting effect might compensate by better smothering of the fine 2.5 um particles as compared to bigger rain drops.

 

All this might not work long-term but it is still something within our control (rather than just griping).

Industries use thousands of litres of water daily to ensure the quality of pharmaceutical and semiconductor products; this may just be a few days to ensure quality of the air we breathe (and the business continuity of some of our industry).

And we can eventually bill the cost to the Indon national budget (?)

 

end of layman gripe.... hope to start some ball rolling...

 

and poison our reservoirs.....

i dont think i sld be envious of u getting these 3 ply masks...cos its USELESS.

 

ppl r wasting money and buying without knowledge.

The aim is to REDUCE, not ELIMINATE. Of course N95 would be best but it's scarce to get and hard to breath making surgical mask a compromise.

I stopped reading psi reading from nea.

Because, I trust myself more.

The number just dont tally.

My eyes r teary and my breathing became more difficult.

 

I refuse to work until I feel the situation is better.

Its my life and I dont need the mom to issue stop order.

do u think NDP will cancel if psi above 200 on that day?

 

also i think f1 will cancel cos the drivers won't race

 

Ndp, see how they want to torture the sec sch kids or not.

By right at this time should be the twice weekly rehearsal at the sch grounds.

 

F1, still far away in Sept. by then all clear already.

 

 

[Maxus-MIFA9]

NEA ...... please give us the actual reading of the haze.

 

Not 3 hrs average reading cos the reading is not what happening out there ....

 

Current reading at 8.00am was 158, please go to the roof top of your Environment Building and take a look yourself. You sure only 158.. :angry:

[Duckduck]
