Ongoing concerns about dust pollution along Thappraya Road
Over the years, residents along Thappraya Road have expressed growing frustration over persistent dust pollution caused by ongoing construction activities in the area. Numerous construction projects, including condominium developments, have generated significant dust and noise, leading to complaints from local residents about the negative impact on their health and quality of life.
Community members have reported increased respiratory issues and discomfort due to the dust, especially during dry weather conditions. The situation has been compounded by the lack of effective dust mitigation measures from construction companies, prompting calls for urgent intervention from local authorities.
In response to these concerns, Pattaya officials have been urged to take action by inspecting construction sites and enforcing stricter regulations to control dust emissions. Residents are seeking solutions such as regular street cleaning, dust suppression techniques, and adherence to environmental standards to alleviate the situation.
As the construction activities continue, the local government is under pressure to balance development with residents’ well-being, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices that protect the community from pollution.
