SERD ensures AIT community quality and safe living environment

SERD recently ensured AIT community that they live in a good environmental condition
and quality of life through some results found from the School's contribution in various activities. The School's Environmental Engineering and Management (EEM) field of study had recently analyzed tap water in some buildings and found that the sampled water is up to standard of the World Health Organization (WHO) Standards for Drinking Water. SERD also organized, on November 11, 2003, an activity to enhance the safety awareness in the School by conducting a laboratory safety drill for the students and staff members. Other SERD units are planning further activities to serve the AIT community and the progress of upcoming activities will be passed on soon.
