BANGKOK: Enduring the ever-increasing fine dusts (particulate matter) PM2.5 in the major cities across Thailand, the Thai government will be implementing stricter measures against trucks emitting black smoke and open-air construction sites.
Narumon Pinyosinwat, a government spokeswoman, said on Sunday that 12 measures will be proposed to the Cabinet on Tuesday.
Six wheeler trucks and more will be banned to enter inner Bangkok on odd days from 6am to 9pm during January and February, Narumon said. Also, construction sites of electric rail lines and other buildings will be inspected to enforce the regulations on curbing dust particles.
