Bangkok Officials to Work from Home Due to Severe Pollution

Thai authorities have warned of unhealthy pollution levels in Bangkok and surrounding areas, prompting government employees in the capital to work from home for the next two days. The pollution, caused by crop burning, industrial emissions, and heavy traffic, has led to a smoky haze covering the skyline. Measures to address the issue include subsidies for farmers to prevent burning, incentives for electric vehicles, and consideration of a clean air act.
