"Thai lawmakers earlier this month endorsed a bill aimed at improving
Thailand's poor air quality, clearing the way for the kingdom's parliament to
start debating draft legislation.
For years, environmentalist groups have been pushing for new laws to combat
Thailand's unhealthy air pollution levels.
But why is Thailand keen on such a law, and how will it work?
The Thai capital, Bangkok, and the northern city of Chiang Mai ranked among the
most polluted cities in the world on several days in 2023.
Thailand's air quality typically plummets between January and March annually —
caused in part by smoke from stubble burning by farmers preparing for the next
crop season.
This results in so-called PM 2.5 dust that contains a high concentration of
fine particulate matter, the most dangerous form of haze pollution."
