Target the PM2.5 sourceDecember is known for being the beginning of the PM2.5 season in Bangkok and several other provinces. To do so, the government must have the right information about the causes of air pollution first and foremost. It is factories, power plants and mass cultivation that drive farmers to burn farm waste and cause transboundary air pollution. Without knowing the correct target, we cannot solve the smog issue at its source. What the government needs is moral courage and to act like a policymaker -- not a dust-buster nor cleaner -- to address PM2.5 at its source.
