Air Quality Measurement

Air Quality Measurement Locations

Air quality measurement can be conducted in various locations, depending on the purpose and specific requirements, such as:

1. Air Monitoring Stations:

These stations are equipped with instruments to measure air pollutants, record data, and track air quality. Meteorological departments use this information to provide daily air quality reports.

2. Industrial Areas:

Factories and industrial estates must monitor air quality and report it to the Department of Industrial Works to prevent environmental impacts.

3. Public Places:

Since public spaces are shared environments, air quality monitoring is essential for health and safety.

• Hospitals: Air quality assessments help prevent the spread of airborne pathogens, which could pose health risks to patients and staff.
• Schools: Air pollution can affect children’s cognitive development and learning efficiency, making air quality monitoring crucial.

With rising pollution levels, air quality monitoring has become increasingly important, as poor air quality has direct impacts on public health. In Thailand, national ambient air quality standards are in place to regulate and maintain a safe environment.
