The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ), which will start implementing measures to encourage public involvement in addressing air pollution, will start putting a focus on PM2.5 fine dust pollution this year.
Aekvarunyoo Amrapala, a spokesman for the BMA, reported on Wednesday that Bangkok’s PM2.5 fine dust levels, in many cases, exceed the secure threshold of 50 g/m3 during the winter and spring due to air stagnation.
The BMA has instructed all city offices to start implementing measures starting on Thursday to lessen the impact of fine sand pollution and its health effects.
According to Mr. Aekvarunyoo, the methods include putting in more frequent checks for black smoke emissions from all types of cars, working with local police facilities to regulate visitors, and putting in no-parking areas on both main and secondary roads.
Other steps include enforcing regulations for companies and construction sites in the cash to prevent pollution exceeding security levels and forbid available trash burning, he said.
The BMA likewise told Chinese temples, underpinnings, and temples to refrain from light incense and burning report. Street washing, dust mopping, and the cleansing of trees, leaves, and vehicle halts will also be increased, he said.
In addition, Bangkok and its neighboring provinces have seen a rise in PM2.5 waste, according to Natural Resources and Environment Minister Chalermchai Sri-on’s Facebook post. He also outlined a plan to overcome waste second time through a three-level control model: national, provincial, and statewide. Important measures may include creating hazard maps for areas where improper using is occurring, managing jungle fires, regulating energy use, and monitoring high-risk agrarian zones, he said.
