Students protest government’s inaction on PM2.5 dust problem
21 Sept 08:13 Key points summarised by AI
- Students rallied at Government House, protesting the government's perceived complacency and inaction regarding the persistent PM2.5 dust problem, despite its declaration as a national agenda last year.
- Protesters demanded immediate and long-term measures, proposing public information campaigns, free face masks, increased dust monitoring devices, and the promulgation of a Clean Air Act.
- While Bangkok's PM2.5 levels have generally reduced, northern provinces like Lampang and Chiang Mai are experiencing deteriorating conditions, largely due to agricultural burning and forest fires.
