Main Article Content
Abstract
PM2.5 pollution has created problems of environmental and public health, including in urban and agricultural regions of Thailand. This study presents a systematic review exploring the major sources of PM2.5, its impact on human health, as well as innovations and policies. The primary sources of PM2.5 include traffic emissions, biomass burning, and industrial activities, with secondary aerosols contributing significantly to transboundary pollution. The review evaluated the effectiveness of various air purification technologies, predictive models using AI and wireless sensor networks. Despite promising technological developments, widespread implementation faces challenges such as high costs, energy demands, and limited public awareness. Strengthening policy enforcement, promoting low-cost sustainable innovations, and enhancing real-time air quality communication are essential. This review recommends that researchers, policymakers, and community workers collaborate to develop effective strategies to mitigate PM2.5 pollution and protect health of population.
