Air and water pollution
On air and water quality, the government has recently set a timetable for the use of lead-free gasoline in all new cars, and has tried to impose more stringent controls on car emissions. The private wastewater treatment scheme for the BMA should be concluded soon to provide the initial setup for a proper wastewater treatment in Bangkok for the first time. Better solid waste management will also help reduce water pollution caused by the dumping of such waste into the rivers or canals.
