Activists slam delay on clean air billsSmog hangs over the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok in January. Chanat KatanyuBreathe Bangkok, a clean-air advocacy group, is urging the government to take urgent action on stalled legislation aimed at tackling the country's worsening PM2.5 air pollution crisis. It said the government has the authority to push for the resumption of deliberations, particularly on the Clean Air Bill and the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) Bill. Public health must take precedence over political considerations, the group said, warning delays in addressing air pollution could lead to rising cases of diseases. Breathe Bangkok is urging the government to act swiftly to reinstate the two bills.
