Government officials said the sudden spike was largely due to atmospheric conditions, with fine particulate accumulating due to colder air, high air pressure and dry weather. "We have to put the band-aid where the wound is," Alliya Moun-ob, air pollution campaigner for Greenpeace Thailand, told AFP. She has researched air quality issues for over a decade and believes industry contributes closer to a third of the particulate that causes haze in the capital.
"We still don't have enough data to know what the real cause is. The data is inaccessible," Penchom said.Alliya said the spike in pollution so early in the season should be a wake-up call about the need to tackle the issue transparently.
