Collaboration with Myanmar
We conduct a study on the environmental pollution in Myanmar in collaboration with University of Medicine 1, Yangon and National Institute for Environmental Studies.
Myanmar is a developing country and although there is concern about air pollution, monitoring system for air pollutants is not sufficient.
Using four kinds of diffusive samplers made by our laboratory, volatile organic compounds such as benzene, carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde, acidic compounds such as nitrogen dioxide , basic gases such as trimethylamine are measured at 7 points in Yangon city.
