The Aerosol Science Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University was awarded the TCSA
Sustainability is an important international trend, including government departments, corporate organizations, or universities, hospitals and other institutions and groups, all of which have successively listed the concept of sustainability as an important indicator of operation. The most representative sustainability award in the country, TCSA, the single category award-TCSA, was awarded on October 13th, National Sun Yat-sen University Aerosol Science Research Center "Aerosol, Environment and People: One Earth "One Future" won the Bronze Award in the Environmental Sustainability Group. It is the only university to win the UN Sustainable Development Index SDG13 "Climate Action" this year. Sun Yat-sen University has been awarded the Sustainability Award for two consecutive years.
Associate Professor Chia C. Wang, the Director of the Aerosol Science Research Center at National Sun Yat-sen University, said that aerosol is a very small suspended particle, so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, so it is often ignored by people. Public health has a huge impact, and this impact is global, across regions, ethnic groups, countries, and even species. The new crown pneumonia that caused the global pandemic is also caused by the inhalation of virus aerosol in the air, and it is also a global health crisis caused by alternative air pollution. "I look forward to more sustainable actions and a deeper understanding of aerosol with everyone, to jointly protect our airborne environment, and make the air that people and all living species breathe cleaner and healthier." Yang Jingli, CEO of the Social Practice and Development Research Center it is also pointed out that the Aerogel Center connects scientific research results with education, industry, medical and health, and actually promotes environmental improvement. It is the best example of the university's social responsibility practice while working hard on the ground while also cooperating with international teams.
Sun Yat-sen University stated that the Aerosol Science Research Center is the world's top aerosol scientific research unit and has developed a number of PM2.5 monitoring technologies. The Aerosol Science Research Center.
has also put academic achievements into social practice. In terms of industrial connections, it cooperates with local companies such as Taiwan Steel and Port Corporation to help improve air pollution in Kaohsiung through the development of emission reduction technologies and the monitoring of air products in the port area. Combined with local hospitals, establish the distribution and characteristics of regional PM2.5 sources, and formulate public health protection countermeasures.
At the level of air product environmental education promotion, the Aerosol Science Research Center and the Kaohsiung Education Bureau conducted K-12 seed teacher training, and translated academic aerosol science into popular science knowledge; planned a number of special aerosol exhibitions, creative teaching materials and puzzle board games , So that people of different ages can learn about air pollution and take care of the environment together. The center also cooperates with the USR project to organize a "traceless diet" campaign to reduce plastic, carbon, and air pollution in conjunction with community businesses, launch a traceless diet map, and promote the concept of friendly and environmentally friendly consumption.
In terms of international cooperation, the Aerosol Science Research Center also invites international heavyweight scholars to set up an advisory committee, organizes international seminars and participates in international organizations, communicates on global aerosol science and air product environmental issues, and communicates with aerosol in the United States, Canada, and Germany. The research team formed alliances and worked together to improve global air products. Associate Professor Chia C. Wang, the Director of the Aerosol Science Research Center at National Sun Yat-sen University, published a multinational collaborative paper in the international authoritative journal "Science" in May 2020 and August 2021. He pointed out that the new coronavirus and most respiratory viruses can be transmitted through "aerosol" and analyzed its scientific mechanism in detail. It indirectly contributed to the revision of the epidemic prevention guidelines by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has made significant contributions to the protection of global public health.
Sun Yat-sen University continues to transform its abundant scientific research energy into an important force for social practice. This year, it also published its first sustainability report, taking sustainability as a key project promoted by the school. In the future, it will continue to use the five main axes as the core to drive southern Taiwan. Towards a more sustainable future.
