  1. When there is discussion on the air pollution, I never see any reference to the mountain burning in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces, where whole mountain ranges are set ablaze from late February to about the end of March every year. We have dense smoke everywhere which disperses only when the rains start. The news agencies refer to it as dust as though this is a phenomenon which occurs naturally after long dry periods. Central Government and the Municipal Officers do nothing about it.

    There is certainly an appreciable amount of smoke produced by the constant burning of vegetable matter, rice stubble, and domestic waste, but this is nothing as compared with the deliberate torching of the mountains .

    Don't know if this pollution results in acid rain but it causes a large increase in deaths.
