Thick smoke emanates from the stacks of the 2,625 megawatt (MW) coal power plant in Mae Moh district, Lampang Province in northern Thailand. Mae Moh is the largest coal power plant in the country and is owned by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).

Greenpeace is calling upon the Pollution Control Department to impose stricter standards on particulate matter in the country’s Air Quality Index and to monitor and enforce preventive measures on PM 2.5 in order to protect public health.
