Air Pollution - Thailand
More than 1.3 million people have fallen sick in the kingdom since the start of the year as a result of air pollution, with nearly 200,000 admitted to hospital this week alone, according to the public health ministry. The country’s capital, Bangkok - home to an estimated 11 million people and one of the world's most popular tourist destinations - is currently shrouded in a thick haze.
The toxic air is an unpleasant yellow-grey mix of vehicle fumes, industrial emissions and smoke from agricultural burning. Anyone going outside should wear a high-quality N95 anti-pollution mask.
