Background

  • The Laboratory of Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) has

been established since 1998.

  • In 2003, DMH started rain water collection by buck sampler at Yangon.
  • Myanmar has joined Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia

(EANET) in 2005 and Myanmar became the participating country of EANET.

  • After Myanmar became member country of EANET, DMH is designated as

National Center for EANET.

  • Yangon (Kaba-Aye) was chosen as an Urban site for wet deposition

monitoring in 2006.

  • Network Center of EANET, Acid Deposition and Oxidant Research

Center(ADORC), now Asia Center for Air Pollution Research Center (ACAP) has provided a Horiba pH/COND meter to measure the rain water samples.

  • ADORC provided the two equipments in April 2007. There are Wet Sampler

and Digital Balance. After, the systematic rain water collection by Wet Sampler was started in June 2007.

  • In July 2009, JICA provided two instruments, Ion chromatography and

Ultrapure water production system.

  • Rain water samples are analyzed by IC (Ion chromatography) once a month.

Cation- (NH4

+, Na+, K+, Ca2+,Mg 2+ ), Anion-(SO4 2 -,NO3

  • ,CL- )
  • In 2011, DMH extended to monitor for air pollution because air pollution

problem is being faced in urban community, urban human health, properties and the environment. So, it is necessary to prevent the impact of air pollution. DMH received Filter Pack Method Sampler which Asia Center for Air Pollution Research Center (ACAP) provided to conduct the air pollutant concentration .

  • Air quality monitoring have been started at Yangon (Kaba- Aye)Urban site

since 15th November 2011.

  • Sampling is taken for air concentration by filter pack method sampler

biweekly.

Nowadays, Air pollution problem is being faced in urban community.

  • Imposing threat to urban human health, properties and the

environment.

  • To prevent the impact of air pollution, it is necessary to

have reliable information on the ambient air quality in different activity zone. Relevant governmental agencies are : Yangon/Mandalay City Development Committee, Environmental Conservation Department, Department of Health, Department of Atomic Energy, Irrigation Department, Water Resources Utilization Department etc.

Future Plan

  • To upgrade wet and dry monitoring activities, installation of

advance instruments, technology transfer, public awareness activities, so on.

  • To install PM2.5 and O3 monitoring instrument at DMH site

by own government budget.

  • Myanmar will initiate the monitoring of inland and aquatic

environment and soil and vegetation in the near future.

  • To cooperate and collaboration with other relevant

departments and international organization.
