On the second day of the autumn break, Pécs Group 3 and Pécs Group 1 immersed themselves in the world of natural sciences through playful experiments, observations, and exciting discoveries.
“During the series of five 45-minute sessions, the children learned about the health impacts of air quality, with special regard to the two key types of particulate matter: PM10 and PM2.5. They examined the size differences between the particles, their primary sources, the reasons for their presence in the atmosphere, and the correlation between their entry into the human body and their harmful health effects. The sessions also covered the short- and long-term consequences of air pollution, including the increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, as well as particularly vulnerable groups. Through practical examples, interpreting data and air quality information, as well as mathematical puzzles, the students developed their skills in recognizing and analyzing environmental issues, while learning about individual and community measures to mitigate air pollution. The aim of the session series was to strengthen environmental consciousness, raise awareness of the importance of health preservation, and promote responsible, well-founded decision-making.” Dr. Zoltán Wilhelm PhD, MSc, Habil., developer
