Bangkok – Emissions from poorly maintained truck engines are one of the main causes of air pollution. The Center for Air Pollution Mitigation today began an inspection at a Khlong Toei pier, where most trucks were shown to be emitting black smoke.
Mr Theerapat Prayurasiddhi, chair of the Center for Air Pollution Mitigation‘s Communications Subcommittee, today announced the outcome of the truck exhaust spot check at Khlong Toei pier in Bangkok.
Officials provided drivers with maintenance recommendations, while trucks emitting higher than standard air pollution received stickers indicating the vehicles were banned from operating until the engines are fixed.
