By installing air quality meters at schools, students and teachers can directly track the air quality at their school sites via the PAM Air app on their phones. Thanks to this, they can have measures of appropriate self-protection in days when indicators of the air quality are at a bad level. The following are some significant measures like using fine dust masks, planting air-purifying ornamental trees, and using public transports.

This activity is part of the project "Civil society meets RE&EE: training, seminar and communication skills to boost RE&EE as a key tool for sustainable development and green growth strategy in Vietnam (E-Enhance)", funded by the EU.
