PM2.5 dust pollution can worsen the severity of symptoms suffered by people with asthma, doctors have warned.

Northern provinces, especially Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, were blanketed by unsafe levels of the carcinogenic PM2.5 on Sunday, according to the Health Department.

The Thai Chamber of Commerce has proposed PM2.5 ultra-fine dust pollution be elevated to an urgent national agenda item, noting it affects the health of residents and dents confidence in tourism, particularly among long-term visitors and groups visiting the country to mix work and leisure.

Worries about Covid-19 may be gone, but PM2.5 is back, plunging Thailand into yet another crisis.

The National Environment Board (NEB) of Thailand has endorsed stricter measures to combat air pollution caused by PM2.5, ordering all 17 provinces in the North to halt burning activities until the end of April.
