The award will facilitate the deployment of low-cost air quality monitors at 15 strategic locations across Bhutan. This project is a collaborative effort involving various institutes and ministries in Bhutan, aimed at shaping policies by making generated data publicly available.

“The main goal of this project is to do real time monitoring of PM2.5 using low cost sensors in Bhutan. The data collected will be shared and made public as per terms and conditions of EPIC’s project. As of now this project will be handled by three key personnel, including me, one from the college of science and technology to work with the technical areas and one from the Ministry of Energy and Natural resources to work at the ministry level. Besides, we will also engage other individuals who will be required to help us in making this project successful, like District officials, Town Mayors, School and institute heads etc.”
