snoop1130 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has reached an agreement with civic groups for as many as 50,000 of their members to work from home if air pollution in Bangkok reaches and remains at the Red level for three consecutive days, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said today. The governor held a meeting this morning with senior administrators to discuss the PM2.5 dust problem in the capital, which has been getting steadily worse, mainly due to poor air circulation and burning of bio-mass in the countryside and in neighbouring countries. He disclosed that only 525 hotspots were detected between January 1st and 9th last year, compared to 1,089 during the same period this year, a 107% increase.
