To effectively tackle #airpollution, #Parliament needs to pass the #CleanAir #bill.. got scant attention fr previous admins of Prayut C & Srettha Thavisin. Clean Air Act wld impose a financial #penalty on #polluters.. Paetongtarn needs to introduce a zero-burning #policy to tackle #PM25 #pollution rather than leave e public w a lot of hot air"
