SWU is located in a central business district (CBD) which has a high air pollution impact. We also see the importance of taking part in guiding society both in built-up awareness and perception from the communities in managing environmental problems and concerning climate change.
Now a day, Faculty of Environmental Culture and Ecotourism (ECE SWU), Srinakharinwirot has a mission & vision to teaching, research and academic services in environmental technology and its management both at the bachelor and graduate's degree, In addition, we also provide services for collect samples for environmental assessment to determine solutions or advice policy recommendations to the government, including the monitoring system in environmental quality and creating awareness of pollution problems.
In 2020, the Faculty of Environmental Culture and Ecotourism has provided an air quality monitors system to collect air quality data and take the data to be processed into an air quality index which we will be able to use the information to reduce environmental impact or use this data for air quality forecast around CBD and SWU communities.
In addition, we try to raise awareness and perception in a correct understanding of the air quality index (AQI) and guidelines for behaving in the presence of air pollution, including establishing a health surveillance system for the communities around the university.
1. provided an air quality monitors system to collect air quality data and take the data to be processed into an air quality index (AQI).
2. use the air quality station and further information to reduce environmental impact.
3. use this data for air quality forecast around CBD and SWU communities to raise awareness and perception in a correct understanding of the air quality index (AQI) and guidelines for behaving in the presence of air pollution.
