On October 10, 2024, the Faculty of Public Health, Thammasat University (Rangsit Campus), in collaboration with the Hub of Talents on Air Pollution and Climate (HTAPC) under the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation, and the Collaborating Center for Clean Air and Climate Change (CCCACC), welcomed teachers and students from Samsenwittayalai School, Bangkok. The field visit provided an opportunity for those participants to explore and learn about the educational processes of the Faculty of Public Health. HTAPC and CCCACC played a key role in creating a learning space focused on air pollution management for those participants. This initiative offered participants about hands-on experiences and practical knowledge to address air quality issues effectively.
Dr. Supat Wangwongwatana introduced the CCCACC and HTAPC centers before conducting a demonstration on how to create a DIY air filter, which include the principles of air filter’s operations, maintenance methods, and its benefits. Dr. Supat emphasized that making a DIY air filter can significantly reduce costs compared to purchasing commercial ones while maintaining high filtration efficiency. He encouraged students to adapt this practical knowledge for daily use, making it both cost-effective and impactful. Moreover, HTAPC invited students to participate in various activities, such as a Kahoot quiz based on a video about air pollution and a matching game to pair images with corresponding descriptions. These activities provided students with hands-on experiences, enhancing their understanding of air pollution and its management. Additionally, the activities served as an inspiration and guidance for students considering their higher education in related fields.
