Nationwide School AQ Monitoring in Lao PDR with UNICEF

March 11, 2025

How UNICEF and AirGradient built a nationwide school air quality monitoring project in Lao PDR, linking data with local action and public awareness.

Project Details

Led by UNICEF Lao PDR and supported by national ministries and local partners, this project aims to close the country’s air quality data gap and protect children's health. Using AirGradient monitors, schools and communities now have access to real-time air quality data for the first time.

Community Impact

Along with the monitors, training was provided to teachers, students, and local officials. Community members are learning how to read the data and respond to pollution risks. Local teams also joined workshops in Thailand to build skills in calibration and forecasting, helping ensure the long-term success of the network.
