Fine particulate matter is an air pollutant that is a concern for people's health when levels in the air are high. Pasak Jolasid Dam in Saraburi Province, Thailand, is visited by many tourists annually and is the community's primary water supply source. This research paper aims to investigate and compare the levels of PM2.5 air temperature and relative humidity levels in the city and the dam area, using Davis AirLink to provide a more granular understanding of air quality in these three distinct environments: (1) Pasak Jolasid Dam, (2) Supattra Resort, and (3) Walailak University, Nakhon Si Thammarat. Our results showed that PM 2.5 levels around the Pasak Jolasid Dam and Supattra Resort were higher than at PM2.5 measurements at Walailak University, and PM2.5 at these three sites had positive linear regression in all three sites. PM2.5 was higher after the evening.
