Thailand ponders measures against burgeoning haze crisis

Thailand is mulling a series of measures to tackle the haze problem, including joint efforts with its neighbors, as air pollution in the Southeast Asian country becomes a major public health concern.

The haze, partly fanned by wildfires, is posing a serious threat to people's health.

Statistics from the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency indicated that more than two-thirds of Thailand's 77 provinces recorded serious haze problems over several days last week.
