This environmental science research study, entitled “A Comparative Study of Air Quality in Areas with and without Phytoremediation Plants within Wichienmatu School, Mueang District, Trang Province,” aims to compare air quality between areas planted with phytoremediation plants and areas without such plants. and was to investigate whether the presence of phytoremediation plants could influence microclimatic conditions, particularly relative air humidity and air temperature, within the school environment. The study area was divided into two distinct sections: an area planted with phytoremediation plants and an area without phytoremediation plants. Data were collected by measuring relative air humidity and temperature in both areas using appropriate environmental measurement instruments. The measurements were conducted under similar environmental conditions to ensure accuracy and reliability of the results. The findings revealed that the area with phytoremediation plants exhibited higher relative air humidity and a lower average air temperature compared to the area without phytoremediation plants. These results suggest that phytoremediation plants may contribute to improving local air quality by increasing moisture in the air and reducing ambient temperature through processes such as transpiration and shading. Overall, this study highlights the potential benefits of using phytoremediation plants to enhance air quality and create a healthier environment within educational institutions.
