PCD claims success in restricting haze in northern provinces
Air pollution has improved on previous years in nine northern provinces thanks to authorities strictly controlling slash-and-burn farming practices, according to the Pollution Control Department (PCD). Sunee Piyapanpong, head of the Department of Pollution Control, Friday claimed success in reducing pollution, saying strict measures had seen a 40% drop in slash-and-burn incidents so far this year.
