This study reveals PM2.5 source attribution and health burden in Thailand, highlighting biomass burning and industrial emissions.

Around 23%-38% of PM2.5 concentrations in Mainland Thailand come from foreign country's biomass burning, impacting health.
Industrial and transportation emissions are found to be the most significant anthropogenic sources contributing to PM2.5 levels.
Health burden due to long-term PM2.5 exposure is substantial, accounting for 46% in Mainland Thailand during the haze season in 2019.
Reducing biomass burning could potentially decrease the annual health burden in Mainland Thailand by up to 20%.

Thongsame et al. (2025) studied this question.
