Abstract
Climate or global warming issue has shifted in a way that is detrimental to health and consistent with the air pollution issue, which is probably going to get worse. For this reason, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is considered an environmental hazard that poses a risk to an individual’s health. This influences school-age children’s general health condition, as they are a vulnerable group in terms of their physical, mental, learning, intelligence, and socioeconomic, particularly those school-age children who are at risk due to congenital diseases involving the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. There will be positive health outcomes if school-age children receive sufficient health promotion and illness prevention. On the other side, there will be a significant health risk if health promotion is either not received at all, or is received insufficiently. As a result, one of the most crucial aspects proactive engagement in sickness prevention before diseases may strike school-age children is health promotion, including operational activities, planning, coordination, operational activities, and easily available and all-inclusive services and scholarly. It will be able to support school-age children’s healthy lifestyle and sustainable safety against illnesses caused by PM2.5.
