Clean Air Network
Established in 2009, the mission of Clean Air Network (CAN) is to strive to improve Hong Kong’s air quality to benefit public health and mitigate climate change through our three key pillars of work, including advocacy, empowerment and knowledge. Without losing sight on air pollution from regional activities, marine vessels and power plants, our present primary focus is on roadside pollution and indoor air impact.
“Clean Air Schools for Hong Kong” project
Clean Air Network (CAN) has partnered with the Institute for the Environment of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (IENV HKUST) on the “Clean Air Schools for Hong Kong” (CASHK) project since August 2022. This 24-month initiative aims to establish the first school-based air monitoring network in the densely populated Sham Shui Po and Tuen Mun districts of Hong Kong.
Eight primary schools in these areas have installed air monitoring systems provided by IENV. The project involves analyzing data and proposing solutions, which will be shared with the schools. Additionally, CASHK conducts review meetings with schools and parents to exchange findings and ideas.
The project is funded by ZeShan Foundation and the eight participated schools are S.K.H. St. Andrew’s Primary School, St. Francis of Assisi’s English Primary School, Society of Boys’ Centres Chak Yan Centre School, Chan’s Creative School, Yan Chai Hospital Law Chan Chor Si Primary School, A.D.& F.D. of Pok Oi Hospital Mrs. Cheng Yam On Millennium School, Lui Cheung Kwong Lutheran Primary School and HKECA Wu Si Chong Memorial School.
