Awareness Leaflet for Kids
ClearAirSL, with the cooperation of AirMac and US-AEP (a project of USAID), has produced an awareness leaflet for school children to educate them about the dangers of air pollution. Email airmac@sltnet.lk for more information.
The Air Resource Management Centre (AirMAC) was established in July 2001 under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to facilitate AQM programmes in Colombo and the country. Several development agencies assisted in establishing AirMAC and provided and continue to provide support for its activities. These organizations include the USAID/US-Asia Environmental Partnership, World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank.
Clean Air Sri Lanka (CleanAirSL) is a non-stock, non-profit organization which was formed to assist AirMAC in all its activities, assist government agencies in implementing air quality programs and climate change mitigation programs, strengthen and build capacity for air quality management, develop policies and programs for air quality management, promote and facilitate air quality research, provide advisory services for air quality management related activities, among others.
