Bangkok Chokes on Hazardous Air Pollution
Hazardous air pollution in Bangkok, reaching eight times the WHO PM2.5 recommendation, caused 352 school closures and prompted the use of a rainmaking plane as the government struggles to control the problem, which is partly caused by slash-and-burn farming and transboundary pollution.
