The report is a collaborative project between Harvard University and Greenpeace.Coal plants in Thailand cause an estimated 1,550 premature deaths every year, according to the research. This number could rise to 5,300 a year if plans to expand electricity production by building new coal-fired plants go ahead. This report is the first of its kind to look at illness and deaths associated with Thailand’s coal-fired power plants. Figures are based on state-of-the-art atmospheric modeling techniques deployed by a research team at Harvard University.
