The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will ask the government to declare Bangkok as an air pollution control area as PM2.5 levels are expected to surge again over the next seven days.
Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt said that when Bangkok is declared a pollution control area, he said, the BMA will be given more power to better handle haze pollution in the capital, allowing it to use the environment fund to combat the PM2.5 problem.
