Some 1,300-1,500 factories will decelerate production, while 18 factories, mostly stone mills, will completely suspend operations. Some 1,300-1,500 factories will slow their operations by 25-30% from their normal shifts, expecting to reduce air pollution by 50% during Feb 4-6. Vice-chairman Kriangkrai Tiannukul said the FTI is supporting the ministry's action to solve the air pollution crisis. "We will call for our factory members to install the Continuous Emission Monitoring system (CEM) to reduce air pollution," Mr Kriangkrai said. "But we will deploy steam spray from building rooftops to reduce particles and warn our staff to avoid any outdoor activities or to wear masks," Mrs Pawana said.
