National News Bureau of Thailand - BANGKOK (NNT) - South Korea's National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) and NASA have launched a joint air quality study across Asia, including Thailand, to investigate the sources of winter air pollution. Announced by the South Korean Ministry of Environment, the research began in South Korea and will extend through Malaysia and Thailand, concluding on March 25.
Gulf Daily News - Seoul - South Korea and the United States are carrying out an intensive research campaign to uncover the causes of air pollution in Asia during the winter, as part of the efforts to deal with air quality challenges.
The project "Asian Air Quality Study - Asia-AQ" (ASIA-AQ), jointly conducted by the Korea National Institute for Environmental Research and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to collect detailed data on air quality in several locations in Asia, using aircraft, satellites and ground research sites.
SciTechDaily - The Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality, or ASIA-AQ mission is a collaboration between NASA and Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research.
The mission will use aircraft – including NASA’s DC-8 and G-III aircraft, satellites, and ground-based instruments to study the air quality in Asia as part of a global effort to better understand the air
we breathe.
