Abstract

Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has made public transport in Bangkok free for a week to combat the severe smog crisis in the city. The move aims to reduce traffic and pollution levels caused by fine particulate matter known as PM2.5. The government is also implementing other measures such as encouraging people to work from home and inducing artificial rain to improve air quality. Bangkok's air pollution is exacerbated by factors like crop burning and poor air circulation, leading to school closures and health concerns. [Extracted from the article]
