drkenchao Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 perhaps some creative or unconventional thinking is urgently needed to solve this persisting aggravating problem of air quslity and pm2.5?! assuming that the culprit is external, for example, from cambodia, it is right step for thailand to liaise with cambodia govt to jointly solve the problem but also good to request thai friendly china govt to help, exerting some pressure on cambodia to do better? secondly,assume we can't do much to reduce external pollution source, couldn't we do more INSIDE thailand to push for more EV to replace gasoline vehicles by subsidy or increase import tax for the traditional vehicles, or bring forward European new standard sooner, or use multipronged approach? improved air quality could attract more wealthy guys and elderly retirees ?

drkenchao Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 bangkok air pollution difficult to tackle, one reason being online purchase and food order so popular and motorbikes inevitably used for the transport, others push the blame to cambodia farmers burning the crops? and even burning incense sticks in temples recently hanoi, vietnam is thinking about motorbike ban in certain districts too by 2025, should thailand follow? https://e.vnexpress.net /news/news/hanoi-to -evaluate-motorbike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
