A set of guidelines for improving architecture and design of residential units to deal with hazardous PM2.5 dust has been published. Asst Prof Antika suggests a five-step plan for reducing dust pollution in the home. In addition, the faculty recommends state-owned enterprises set policies that address air pollution causes and encourage more people to cycle, walk or use public transport instead of using a personal car to prevent hazardous air pollution in the long term. In terms of architecture and landscape planning, Bangkok needs to have more green areas that filter dust. Asst Prof Pondej said landscape design is an important concept to address the severe PM2.5 dust.
