I. In recent years, the issue of air pollution has become increasingly serious and has gradually received attention. A 2019 UK research report confirmed that air pollution causes 8.8 million deaths annually. Therefore, through an air pollution practical workshop, we aim to encourage teachers to develop air pollution-related teaching materials and tools, to provide opportunities for teachers to observe and learn from each other, enhance teaching effectiveness, improve teaching quality, and further enhance students' correct understanding of air pollution and environmental literacy.
