chilly07 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Does Thailand have any plans to phase out petrol and especially diesal fuelled vehicles which generate the PM 2.5 particles? Does Thailand have any plans to enforce no burning on farmers in N and E Thailand which is now ramping up producing nitrogen oxide? Apparently not!!!

Venom Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Far worse in Hua Hin last night as smoke inundated the city. Horrendous pollution levels already and the burning season is just getting underway. It appears very likely we will break all previous air pollution records as we approach the peak in Feb- March when Chiang Mai once again raises to most polluted city on the planet status for the fourth year in a row. ????

Pedrogaz Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Yet another total failure of government and enforcement. Put the burners in jail for goodness' sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
