Schools have been allowed to suspend classes as cancer-causing air pollution worsens in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has granted authority to headteachers and district chiefs to suspend classes for up to 15 days when levels of PM 2.5 - the toxic pollutant caused by illegal crop burning - breach the unsafe threshold.
