epa11872072 Thai students wearing face masks study inside a sealed classroom where windows and doors are closed to prevent exposure to unhealthy levels of particle air pollution at Wat Rajaphatikaram school in Bangkok, Thailand, 03 February 2025. The Wat Rajaphatikaram school provides dust-free classrooms equipped with air purifiers and air ventilation systems, and sealed classrooms for kindergarteners and elementary students as part of dust-prevention measures amid the ongoing hazardous PM2.5 air pollution. In around 1,966 classrooms across 429 schools, 744 of the classrooms have been upgraded to an air conditioned room and many are now equipped with air purifiers as part of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's Dust-Free classroom project, in an effort to cope with the fine particulates matter (PM2.5) which caused the air pollution to escalate to levels harmful to health, according to Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt. The estimated 13.6 million children in Thailand are at risk of being highly exposed to PM2.5 air pollution, according to UNICEF's Over the Tipping Point report. EPA/RUNGROJ YONGRIT
