Establishment of Risk Management Platform for Air Pollution in Cambodia

Establish an Air Monitoring Network for State-of-the-Art Air Pollution Science and a Framework for Human Resource Development
Air pollution in Cambodia is escalating due to rapid economic growth, which has boosted emissions from traffic, construction, and the open burning of waste and agricultural residues. Critically, there's a severe lack of human resources with the scientific expertise to evaluate and manage this situation effectively. This project seeks to bridge that gap through a robust collaboration between Cambodian universities and Ministry of Environment (led by the Institute of Technology of Cambodia) and Japanese universities (led by Kanazawa University). Together, they will build a platform featuring an air monitoring network, research facilities, and a sustainable structure for human resource development, ultimately working to sustainably reduce environmental risks from air pollution in the future.

Developed Human Resources Will Contribute to Clean Air in Cambodia
Through this project, we will cultivate both research leaders and engineers proficient in managing the monitoring network and young researchers empowered to initiate cutting-edge research in atmospheric science and engineering. The environmental information collected will be crucial for advancing research focused on reducing environmental risks.
