ITC and Japanese University Establish Air Quality Monitoring System

Phnom Penh, 18 July 2024: The Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC), in collaboration with a Japanese university under the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS), has established an air quality monitoring system, according to the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports.

This system aims to study air quality in Cambodia and transboundary air pollution, particularly in Phnom Penh, by focusing on the levels of toxic and chemical pollutants.

The air quality monitoring system is capable of measuring tiny particles as small as 0.3 micrometres, including carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone.

Additionally, the ITC has set up an air quality monitoring laboratory that can analyze toxins, chemicals, and other substances that affect public health.

So far, air quality monitors have been installed at five different locations in Phnom Penh: ITC, the University of Health Sciences, Prek Pnov Khan Hall, the Royal University of Agriculture (RUA), and Arey Ksat Sangkat Hall.
