SPECIAL REPORT: In Search of A Breath of Fresh Air
The causes of smog that have emerged as a threat to public health are well known; the real challenge is to implement the solutions.
Environment Minister General Surasak Kanchanarat assured the public on Wednesday that the government has a plan and will take steps to tackle the hazardous smog from fine PM2.5 particulates. But a genuine solution, air pollution experts point out, will require a sustainable transportation system as well as serious actions such as strict limits on vehicles causing pollution, as part of a long-term plan.
