Therefore, this research aims to study the risk perception and impact of PM 2.5 among the village health volunteers caring for people affected by PM 2.5 in northern Thailand. There are three main objectives, to study the risk perception and impact of PM 2.5 on village health volunteers caring for people affected by PM 2.5 in northern Thailand, to explore factors related to the impact of PM 2.5 in northern Thailand, and to develop recommendations for preventing the effects of PM 2.5 in northern Thailand. The population and sample in this study were 1321 volunteers who care for people affected by PM 2.5 in Ngao District, Lampang Province, Thailand. The results of the study showed that people and village health volunteers in the area had low levels of awareness of self-monitoring and PM 2.5 prevention. However, researchers have developed models and strategies to support concrete resolution, which is an important way to implement practical solutions to PM 2.5 in the field.
