Nature, Child Development, and Family Relationships

By RISC | 5 days ago

Given the chance, would you prefer to live in nature? Would you like to be near the sea, mountains, waterfalls, trees, or streams each day, rather than waiting for weekends or holidays to reconnect with nature?Being close to green spaces boosts our physical and mental health. It helps us relax, reduces our stress and anxiety, alleviates depression, and even promotes longevity. Studies show that living in green settings can lower the risk of respiratory diseases and cancer, reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, strengthen bones through sunlight exposure, and boost the immune system by increasing our contact with natural microorganisms.Lots of studies from around the world support these findings. Living in an area with 20% green space can significantly reduce stress and depression, according to research published by Oxford University Press. If the green space exceeds 30%, anxiety levels also drop. It’s no wonder we feel drawn to greenery and want to live closer to nature.Simply seeing green surroundings helps us relax. But imagine how much our lives improve if all the family enjoys nature every day, whether it’s going for a walk, exercising, or simply sitting together and sharing stories… All these simple moments help build family bonds.Two great ways to boost physical and mental well-being, while bringing your family closer, are gardening and relaxing outdoors.Gardening improves motor skills when we dig, loosen soil, pull up weeds, pick up leaves, or water plants. But it also relieves stress. Just 30 minutes of gardening can reduce cortisol, the stress hormone, bringing the body back to a normal, relaxed state, according to research.Relaxing outdoors boosts physical, linguistic, cognitive, creative, and social development. Different types of play influence various aspects of growth:- Active Play – Running, climbing, and jumping strengthen muscles strength and boost skills and balance.- Sensory Play – We can engage different senses by studying plants, listening to water and bird songs, or capturing nature’s beauty through photography or painting.- Social Play – Activities like group discussions and team games improve social skills and teamwork.- Passive Play – Taking a stroll, relaxing on a hammock, or engaging in restful activities helps us unwind and build social bonds through conversation.Living by green spaces that encourage outdoor activities enhances life. It supports childhood development, benefits all age groups, slows aging, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. We also suffer less stress and anxiety,  leading to a healthier, happier family.When all the family enjoys good physical and mental well-being, we gain stronger relationships, deeper understanding, and greater family harmony.Story by Saritorn Amornjaruchit, Assistant Vice President of RISCReferences:Beyer, K.

How does dust affect our health? Who should be cautious?

By RISC | 2 weeks ago

When dust becomes part of daily life, we have to be aware and protect ourselves to avoid serious diseases.Bangkok and several other provinces have recently faced excessive PM2.5. We’ve grown accustomed to smog replacing clear blue skies and daily news reports on hazardous dust levels. Our health is affected as well as visibility.This January, PM2.5 levels in Bangkok and its surrounding areas surged so high that the city ranked among the most air-polluted in the world. People had to quickly adapt by wearing protective masks, installing air purifiers indoors, or even avoiding outdoor activities altogether. However, many still do not fully understand the extent of harm these fine dust particles can cause to the body or who is most vulnerable to their effects.The particulate matter we often talk about, such as PM2.5 and PM10, consists of tiny airborne particles generated by vehicle emissions, industrial activities, construction, and forest burning. PM2.5, in particular, is 25 times smaller than a human hair, allowing it to penetrate the respiratory system and enter the bloodstream. Once inside the body, these particles do not just stop at the nose or lungs—they can travel to other organs and pose serious health risks.Who is most at risk?Although PM2.5 dust affects everyone who breathes it in, certain groups are particularly vulnerable due to their fragile health conditions or pre-existing illnesses that make them more susceptible to its harmful effects. Let's take a look at who needs to be most cautious and take extra care.- Young Children: Children's respiratory systems and lungs are still developing, making them particularly sensitive to dust exposure. Inhaling large amounts of PM2.5 can hinder lung growth, increase the risk of asthma, allergies, and respiratory infections.Basic precautions: Parents should avoid taking young children outdoors when pollution levels are high and install air purifiers at home to create a safer environment.- Elderly Individuals: As people age, their immune systems weaken, and their lung and heart functions decline. PM2.5 exposure can exacerbate chronic conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, and strokes.Basic precautions: Keep the indoor environment clean, avoid outdoor activities on days with high pollution, and seek medical attention immediately if symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain arise.- Pregnant Women: Fine dust particles can enter the mother's bloodstream and affect fetal development, leading to low birth weight, premature birth, or delayed development. Exposure to polluted air during pregnancy also increases the risk of complications.Basic precautions: Pregnant women should avoid high-pollution areas, wear N95 or KF94 masks when going outside, and use appropriate air purifiers at home.- Individuals with Chronic Illnesses: People with pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, or allergies are more susceptible to PM2.5’s harmful effects. The dust can trigger inflammation in the body, worsening organ function and causing symptom flare-ups.Basic precautions: Those with chronic illnesses should consult their doctors on how to manage their condition during high-pollution periods and always carry necessary medications.- Outdoor Workers: Construction workers, taxi drivers, motorcycle couriers, and street vendors are regularly exposed to high levels of dust. Daily inhalation of PM2.5 can significantly increase the risk of developing long-term respiratory diseases.Basic precautions: If working outdoors during high pollution levels, wearing an N95 mask properly and taking breaks in dust-free areas whenever possible is recommended.Other Groups That Should Be Cautious:- Outdoor Exercisers: Rapid breathing during exercise increases dust inhalation, exposing the body to higher amounts of pollutants.- Smokers: The combination of smoking and air pollution further heightens the risk of lung and heart diseases.Regardless of whether you belong to a high-risk group, protecting yourself from air pollution is essential for everyone. Good health starts with awareness and daily self-care, especially in times of severe pollution like this.Story by Phetcharin Phongphetkul, Sustainable Designer, LEED®AP BD+C, WELLTM AP, Fitwel Ambassador, ActiveScore AP, TREES-A NC, RISC​

Fahsai Mini

By RISC | 2 weeks ago

At the beginning of the year, you may have woken up to see a blanket of white mist covering the surroundings. Checking an air quality application or measurement device, you’d have found the haze was hazardous air pollution, with PM2.5 levels soaring to alarming heights. Air pollution has become an increasingly severe issue this year, appearing to last longer and posing greater risks to public health. Do we have to live with this pollution forever? RISC remains committed to developing innovations for better living. Since 2020, RISC has been continuously improving the "Fahsai" air purification towers to combat PM2.5 pollution in Thailand. The project began with Fahsai 1, followed by Fahsai 2 and Fresh One, with installations in key locations such as True Digital Park, where PM2.5 levels were reduced by 50%, and the University of Phayao, which saw a 40% reduction. These purification towers create "safe zones" with cleaner outdoor air. RISC continues to enhance its air purification technology, leading to the development of the latest model, the hybrid automatic air purification tower "Fahsai Mini." This version is designed for easy mobility and installation while improving efficiency. It can purify up to 60,000 cubic meters of air per hour with an effective purification radius of up to 50 meters—equivalent to the air-purifying capacity of 700 trees (based on laboratory test results). Additionally, it can eliminate bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Proven Effectiveness of Fahsai MiniIn mid-January, PM2.5 levels surged. The Fahsai Mini demonstrated its efficiency in reducing pollution compared to nearby areas without air purification towers. The latest air quality measurements recorded on 31 January 2025, at 08:30 AM showed the following data:📌 PM2.5 levels from AirVisual: 147 µg/m³ (08:00–09:00 average)📌 PM2.5 levels from on-site measurement tools: 152 µg/m³📌 PM2.5 levels near the Fahsai Mini tower: reduced to 63 µg/m³ These results indicate that the Fahsai Mini significantly improves air quality by reducing PM2.5 levels by up to 60%, helping to mitigate health risks for people in the affected areas. Introducing the Fahsai Mini The Fahsai Mini applies the Venturi Scrubber system, commonly used for industrial air pollution control, adapted into a hybrid automatic air purification tower. This innovation aligns with health and environmental sustainability goals while enhancing overall well-being. Fahsai Mini is more compact than its predecessors, making it easier to transport and install. However, it retains comparable air purification efficiency, PM2.5 filtration capacity, and pathogen elimination capabilities. Compact size: 3.2 meters in height, 1.35 meters wide at the base. High airflow capacity: Two intake fans at 30,000 m³/h each (total 60,000 m³/h). Wide coverage area: The air output fan also operates at 60,000 m³/h, capable of covering an area equivalent to a football field per hour. The Fahsai Mini starts by drawing in air from its side panels using high-powered fans. The air enters a cylindrical chamber, where it passes through dual high-speed water spray nozzles that create a cyclonic pattern, effectively capturing airborne pollutants. Uses a multi-layer filtration system with a specialized structure to enhance water surface tension, allowing for more effective dust capture. Filters out particles as small as 0.3 microns, smaller than PM2.5 and PM10. Uses UVGI technology to eliminate bacteria and viruses before releasing clean air. Equipped with hybrid power technology, consuming 600–3,000 watts per hour depending on pollution levels. Uses only 50 liters of water per day, with a partial water recycling system incorporating ozone and filtration technology for water purification. RISC has developed multiple air purification models tailored for different environments.

Why Does Toxic Dust Surge Even in Good Weather?

By RISC | 3 weeks ago

Ever wondered why toxic dust levels can be high even in cool weather?Thailand—especially Bangkok and its metropolitan areas—has been grappling recently with persistently high levels of PM2.5 fine particulate matter. This severe air pollution crisis is significantly impacting public health and quality of life. While air quality has improved at times, PM2.5 levels often spike again unexpectedly.Where does this dust come from?- Open Burning: One of Thailand’s primary sources of PM2.5 pollution is open burning, including agricultural burning (such as cornfields), waste incineration, and forest fires. According to the Pollution Control Department (PCD), open burning both within Thailand—particularly in the northern and northeastern regions during the dry season—and in neighboring countries contributes significantly to PM2.5 levels. Seasonal winds carry these pollutants southward into Bangkok and surrounding provinces. Additionally, burning activities in nearby provinces such as Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, and Pathum Thani, where waste and agricultural residues are frequently burned, further exacerbate the issue.- Traffic Emissions: In Bangkok, traffic emissions contribute to 51% of total PM2.5 pollution, with diesel-powered vehicles being the primary culprits. Heavy traffic congestion, especially during rush hours, traps pollutants in the lower atmosphere, particularly in areas with poor ventilation, such as city centers.- Industrial Activities: Bangkok’s neighboring industrial zones, including Bang Phli, Bang Pu, and Lat Krabang, house numerous factories that emit pollutants into the air. Research from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) indicates that industrial emissions account for 25-30% of PM2.5 pollution in Bangkok.- Meteorological Conditions: Weather patterns play a crucial role in worsening air pollution, particularly during the cool season. A phenomenon called the “Inversion Layer” occurs when colder air near the ground is trapped beneath warmer air above, preventing pollutants from dispersing into the upper atmosphere. This effect essentially creates a "pollution dome," locking PM2.5 within the city and leading to dangerously high pollution levels.How can we protect ourselves?- Monitor air quality in real time using apps like AirVisual or Air4Thai to plan daily activities based on pollution levels.- Wear effective masks such as N95, KN95, or high-quality fabric masks to protect against PM2.5. Be cautious, as some masks are not designed to filter fine particles effectively.- Limit outdoor activities during high pollution periods. If PM2.5 levels exceed safe limits, avoid outdoor exercise and opt for indoor workouts instead. Using an air purifier indoors can also help maintain healthier air quality.Story by Phetcharin Phongphetkul, Sustainable Designer, LEED®AP BD+C, WELLTM AP, Fitwel Ambassador, ActiveScore AP, TREES-A NC, RISC​Reference byPollution Control Department.

Why Trees Need the Right Soil pH

By RISC | 1 month ago

Soil isn’t just a solid foundation for trees but a source of essential nutrients that can help them thrive.Trees need 14 types of nutrients for growth:6 macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). These are essential for growth and are required in large amounts. A deficiency can stunt growth and cause the plant to wilt or even die.8 micronutrients: iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and chlorine (Cl). Although required in smaller quantities, these nutrients are just as vital for plant health.Soil typically has these nutrients but how well plants can absorb them depends on the soil’s pH level, which affects their solubility in a form that plants can absorb.The optimal pH for soil is about 6.0 to 6.5. If the pH is too high or too low, some nutrients become less soluble and unavailable for plants. With a pH below 6, phosphorus becomes less soluble. Highly acidic soil can reduce yields and cause short and swollen roots with damaged tips.We can fix these problems. With acidic soils, use lime-containing materials such as wood ash, crushed limestone, quicklime, or dolomite. With alkaline soils, apply aluminum sulfate or sulfur.Story by: Nakarin Phongphaew, Intern from Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University and Thanawat Jinjarak, senior researcher Environmental Department Urban Environmental & Biodiversity Engineer, RISC

Why Do City Trees Have Fewer Blooms?

By RISC | 1 month ago

Trees in nature often bloom beautifully, giving us wonderful blossoms to enjoy. But have you noticed that urban trees seem to flower less?So what factors affect how tree bloom? Flowering is governed by internal factors, such as shorter or longer days and the tree’s maturity, as well as external factors like water and pruning.City trees are often exposed to artificial lighting at night (read more: https://bit.ly/3rF7P5g). Research has found that some species flower less with limited or interrupted nighttime darkness, even if trees reach the right age. Trees shaded by buildings can also get less sunlight.Certain tree species bloom during dry seasons. Water stress triggers flowering as a survival mechanism. But urban trees are frequently watered year-round, reducing this response.To ensure city trees bloom seasonally, it’s essential to start with tree species suited to the local environment. Spaces should provide adequate exposure to both sunlight and artificial light. Care should mimic natural conditions and stimulate seasonal flowering. The result will be a beautiful city with charming urban spaces.Story by: Siriwan Sukngam, Intern from Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University and Thanawat Jinjarak, senior researcher Environmental Department Urban Environmental & Biodiversity Engineer, RISC Reference by At gardare.

Trees Have Many More Types of Root than You Thought

By RISC | 1 month ago

You know that trees have taproots, lateral roots branching from them, and fibrous roots… But do you know about all the others, including some you mightn’t realize are roots?Taproots and lateral roots are among the best-known types of root. They anchor plants to the soil and absorb water and nutrients that go to trunks for growth. But trees also develop adventitious roots for challenging environments where survival can be tough. These specialized roots come in many fascinating forms:Prop roots develop from the trunk under stressful conditions, such as flooding or soft soil. They provide extra support so the tree stays upright. These roots often appear as woody structures growing from the stem. A classic example is in mangroves in coastal wetlands.Storage roots store nutrients within their structure and have diverse shapes, such as conical, fusiform, napiform (heart-shaped), and tuberous. Plants with storage roots include cassava, carrots, and beets, though we may not recognize them as roots at first glance.Aerial roots grow above the ground and serve as anchors on various surfaces, such as those in climbing plants. These roots can contain chloroplasts capable of photosynthesis, giving them a distinct green appearance, as seen in orchid aerial roots.Air roots play a role in gas exchange and oxygen transport to submerged roots in the soil. For example, pneumatophores of the white mangrove rise above the ground to access oxygen in waterlogged environments, where roots buried in soil lack adequate air.Parasitic roots penetrate the roots of other plants to extract nutrients, acting as their primary food source. These roots often harm the host plant, stunting its growth and, in severe cases, causing it to wither and die.Buttress roots are an adaptation of certain trees for environments such as near water bodies or in shallow soils. When taproots cannot penetrate deep into the ground, buttress roots spread out from the base of the trunk, forming large, flat structures to provide stability and support.Story by: Nakarin Phongphaew, Intern from Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University and Thanawat Jinjarak, senior researcher Environmental Department Urban Environmental & Biodiversity Engineer, RISC

Why Is Water a Danger for Plants?

By RISC | 1 month ago

Trees are easy to plant but much harder to grow! Keeping them healthy takes knowledge...The factors that affect plants include sunlight, soil, water, air, temperature, and fertilizers. Water is especially critical. Too little and they’ll wither and die. Too much and they can catch diseases and die.Rootzone soil has 3 key components: soil particles, air-filled pores, and water. Regular watering without considering environmental conditions can lead to waterlogged soil and pores. This situation can lead to root rot, lack of oxygen for roots, and moisture-linked diseases such as fungal infections. Once fungi penetrate roots, they can spread throughout the stem and propagate via air and water. These problems prevent roots absorbing water and nutrients effectively, halting the tree's growth.So the right amount of water is a vital for healthy plants. Regularly checking soil conditions and moisture levels, as well as adjusting the water quantity based on weather and plant needs, can minimize the risks of overwatering.

Quality time with family promotes quality of life

By RISC | 1 month ago

Did New Year let you spend quality time with your loved ones? However brief, such moments bring joy we look forward to all year.We often value quality over quantity in how we spend our time. Quality time has lots more impact than everyday time. But if we can spend more hours with one another, we boost the chances of meaningful family moments.A warm family with healthy relationships can strike a balance between too much and too little time together. Family activities you can do daily include sharing meals, cooking together, chatting about your day, going for walks, and exercising together. You can even do the chores as a team. These activities not only strengthen bonds but also teach children how to balance their lives from how their parents model effective time management.Time with parents is crucial for adolescent well-being, improving social skills such as communicating clearly, building friendships, and managing emotions. One-on-one time with parents also helps boost self-esteem.Close relationships between grandparents and grandchildren can deepen family ties. Caring for grandchildren can reduce the risk of loneliness for elderly family members, giving them a sense of being trusted and valued. It also significantly alleviates depression in both generations, as supported by a study from Boston College involving 374 grandparents and 356 adult grandchildren over 19 years (1985–2004).Modern urban lifestyles and work responsibilities can often prevent us from living as extended families. Chances to meet and spend time together mightn’t come as often as we’d like. Festivals and special occasions become unique opportunities to express love and give support. These moments serve as "family therapy", recharging and uplifting us for the challenges ahead.Families lucky enough to regularly spend time together can benefit even more from homes with spaces for quality moments. Such spaces should support shared activities and foster interaction without compromising privacy. Even more ideal are family spaces close to nature, such as home gardens, community parks, or public green spaces. These areas help reduce stress, boost energy, and encourage physical activity among both children and the elderly. They also spark creativity and imagination in children as they play and learn in natural surroundings.Although New Year is over, there are countless opportunities throughout the year to spend time together. Let’s start by making the upcoming Children’s Day a meaningful time for our families.Story by Saritorn Amornjaruchit, Assistant Vice President of RISCReferences:Ami Albernaz, The Boston Globe (December 14, 2015).Danielle Cohen, Child Mind Institute (November 13, 2024).Susan McHale, Penn State Social Science Research Institute (August 21, 2012).Suzanne Pish, Michigan State University Extension (June 15, 2013).
