webfact Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 BANGKOK, Oct 26 (TNA) – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration worked out its newest plan to cope with the problem of particulate matter 2.5 microns and less in diameter (PM2.5) that is expected to escalate late this month. Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang chaired a meeting of the BMA’s PM2.5 committee as the pollution normally happened from late October to February. The meeting approved the latest plan which was based on solutions implemented last year and also included improved measures such as increase in vehicle emission checkpoints, frequent emission checks and no-truck hours in some areas.

Popular Post Crossy Posted October 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2021 I don't recall the "measures" being mind-bendingly effective last year. Little has changed this year apart from the possible reduction in traffic due to the covid situation, a reduction which the government will likely take credit for of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brain storming at it's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 In other words, they won't do anything. Great. But I didn't expect any real outcome from these clowns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelagicpete Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Watching the Ventusky weather app, with the pollution filter on, it is very obvious that the source of particulate matter is in fact Bangkok itself. It is very easy to see this, and some other major cities also are pollution centres. In my opinion it is the vehicle fumes that in certain weather patterns are the cause, although factories may also be an additional cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
