#EnergyData from #ourworldindata for #ASEAN (#Brunei #Cambodia #LaoPDR #Myanmar not available) allows one to reasonable infer that #healthimpacts from #toxic #airpollution are likely to persist across the region. % energy source breakdown in relative terms, and in terawatt-hours (by country), #oil + #coal
1. #Vietnam 71.35%, 856
2. #Thailand 60.98%, 848
3. #Indonesia 75.4%, 1698
4. #Philippines 85.6%, 447
5. #Malaysia 56.5%, 651
6. #Singapore 85.9%, 823

Also, the #risk was/is disproportionately 'weighted' toward #Laotian #women. #LaoPDR avg. annual est. #PM25 levels are 5X the #WHOAQG (2000, 2005, 2010-17) w/2019 avg. levels resulting in >8000 xs deaths. Poor econ. cond.+ ltd. occup. & env. htlth. regs make a lethal combo.

The 2022 'Get Clean and Green' report looks at the state of #wastemanagement in #LaoPDR, and its shortcomings. Key pts. incl.,
1. #Vientiane saw #solidwaste incr. by 66% from 2000 to 2015.
2. 40-60% Vientiane and 80% #LuangPrabang solid waste ended in #landfill.
3. No govt-based #recycling prgm. Industry-based only.
4. COVID-induced decline in recycl. and an incr. in #singleuse #plastics.
5. No centralised wste mngmnt scheme.
6. #WorldBank offers an #NPAP Roadmap #SDGs

A 2019 #JICA report looking at the status of #LaoPDR #wastemanagement found 1. a rudimentary legal platform that reg. waste as either 'general' or #hazardous, 2. that even as a #Basel signatory, laws addressing #hazardouswaste mvmnt lack financial and operational resources for effctv. implementation. Further challenges lie ahead esp. w/a population-based rate of urbanisation incr. by 35% and accel. econ. investm. from regional counterparts #China, #Jpn, and #Thailand.
