Kids should wear face masks at outdoor activities on Children’s Day

13 Sept 09:58 Key points summarised by AI

Parents are advised to ensure children wear face masks for outdoor Children's Day activities due to poor air quality in and around Bangkok.
Children's undeveloped immune systems and faster breathing increase their vulnerability to inhaling harmful PM2.5 dust during outdoor play.
Monitor children closely for symptoms like frequent coughing or breathing difficulties, and seek immediate medical attention if observed.
High PM2.5 dust levels are reported across central, western, and northern regions, with poor air quality forecast to persist for the next seven days.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
