New measures being proposed to contain air quality crisis
The Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Varawut Silpa-archa, will propose to the Cabinet on Tuesday (January 21) a number of measures to tackle the PM 2.5 dust particle crisis, which has made the capital’s air quality unsafe in some areas.
One of the measures is to allow trucks to enter inner Bangkok only on even-number dates.
The measures are proposed to last until the end of next month. New and more stringent measures will be introduced if these proposed measures fail to tackle the PM2.5 crisis, he said.
