MEASURES FOR AIR POLLUTION PREVENTION (PM 2.5 DUST) AND RELATED LAWS FOR THE POPULATION IN BANGKOK

Abstract

This article aims to find ways to prevent air pollution, which is currently a problem that Bangkok are facing, which is the PM2.5 dust value, which is very high, and has a negative impact on public health. All parties, both government and private organizations, have collaborated to find ways to prevent and alleviate the problem. Currently, almost every province in Thailand is facing a PM2.5 dust crisis in high quantities. Small dust particles of approximately 2.5 microns, which are 25 times smaller than a human hair, are dust particles that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen when there is a large amount. They look like smog floating in the atmosphere. With very small particles that the nose cannot filter, they can enter our bodies deep into the air sacs at the end of the lungs, enter the bloodstream, and destroy the body's systems, causing inflammation of the respiratory tract. When they accumulate in the body in large amounts, they can cause health problems related to the lungs and respiratory tract in both the short and long term, and are harmful to people with respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergies, etc., and especially young children.
