BANGKOK - The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is ordering a temporary halt to the construction of high-rise buildings and electric train routes in Bangkok areas from Tuesday to Thursday to reduce air pollution in metropolitan areas, BMA spokesman Jindarat Chayothin said on Monday."Lately Bangkok has been covered by a high-pressure system in the mornings until noon. This, together with weak winds, has increased the accumulation of dust and haze,"she said.
Jindarat further explained that since October 2019, BMA has been working with Royal Thai Police to randomly inspect vehicles in Bangkok areas for black smoke emission."We have already identified almost 30,000 vehicles that have high levels of emission and ordered the owners to fix the problem,"she said.
