Binigyang-diin ng World Health Organization (WHO) ngayong taon na mahalaga ang pagsubaybay sa kalidad ng hangin upang maunawaan ang mga epekto ng polusyon sa hangin sa kalusugan at masubaybayan ang mga pagsisikap na mabawasan ito. Sa pagsasanib ng siyentipikong pananaliksik at inhinyeriya sa pag-aaral ng kalidad ng hangin, nakatulong si Dr. Len Herald Lim ng Institute of Chemistry (IC) ng College of Science (CS), University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD), sa pagbuo ng Robust Optical Aerosol Monitor (ROAM). Ang ROAM ang kauna-unahang kagamitang pangmonitor ng kalidad ng hangin na gawa ng mga Pilipino, noong 2014.

The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasized this year that air quality monitoring is crucial for understanding the health effects of air pollution and tracking efforts in reducing it. Combining scientific inquiry and engineering in air quality research, Dr. Len Herald Lim of the University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Science’s Institute of Chemistry (UPD-CS IC) co-developed the Robust Optical Aerosol Monitor (ROAM)—the first Filipino-made air quality monitoring device—in 2014.
