Bangkok’s PM2.5 Pollution Lands Politician’s Father in ICU

Suchatvee Suwansawat, deputy leader of the Democrat Party, shared how PM2.5 air pollution severely impacted his father, who was hospitalized with bronchial inflammation, respiratory issues, and carbon dioxide buildup after daily exposure during morning exercises. The pollution has also affected his children, highlighting the pervasive health threat it poses to Bangkok residents. Bangkok, often ranking among the world's most polluted cities, recently faced severe smog due to farmland burning and stagnant air masses. Authorities warn that pollution levels are expected to rise further due to cold air trapping pollutants.
