Abstract Purpose of Review A large body epidemiological evidence demonstrates that exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Many epidemiology studies have investigated the health effects PM in Europe North America focussed on traffic derived PM. However, elevated levels are a global problem impacts other sources should be assessed. Biomass burning can increase urban rural indoor outdoor environments developed developing countries. We aim...
The change of temperature and weather parameters is a major concern affecting sustainable development impacting various sectors, such as agriculture, tourism, industry. Changing patterns their impact on water resources are important climatic factors that society facing. In Thailand, climatological features ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation play substantial role in extreme events, which cause damage to the economy, livelihood people. To investigate recent serious changes...
Abstract Understanding heavy metals in rivers is crucial, as their presence and distribution impact water quality, ecosystem health, human well-being. This study examined the levels of nine (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) 16 surface samples along Chao Phraya River, identifying Zn, Cr predominant metals. Although average concentrations both rainy dry seasons generally adhered to WHO guidelines, Mn exceeded these limits yet remained within Thailand’s acceptable standards. Seasonal...
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) emitted from biomass burning is an increasing concern, particularly in Southeast Asia. It not yet clear how the source of PM influences risk adverse health outcome. The objective this study was quantify and compare risks non-biomass sources northern Thailand. We collected ambient air pollutant data (PM with a diameter < 10 μm [PM10], PM2.5, Carbon Monoxide [CO], Ozone [O3], Nitrogen Dioxide [NO2]) ground-based monitors daily outpatient hospital visits...
Meteorological parameters play an important role in determining the prevalence of ambient particulate matter (PM) upper north Thailand. Mae Hong Son is a province located this region and which borders Myanmar. This study aimed to determine relationships between meteorological concentrations less than 10 µm diameter (PM10) Son. Parameters were measured at air quality monitoring station, consisted PM10, carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O₃), factors, including temperature, rainfall, pressure, wind...
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). It was initially detected in Wuhan, China and spread to other cities of all countries. caused many deaths number infections became greater than 18 million 5 August 2020. This study aimed analyze situation COVID-19 Thailand challenging control employing dynamic model determine prevention approaches. We employed statistical technique ambient temperature influencing cases. found that...
Abstract Particulate air pollution causes a spectrum of adverse health effects affecting the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic systems that are hypothesised to be driven by inflammation oxidative stress. Millions premature deaths each year attributed exposure ambient particulate matter (PM). We quantified economic impacts from long-term PM 2.5 in population Thailand for 2016. collected data on concentrations automatic monitoring stations across over 1996–2016. used...
Phthalates are widely used in consumer products and well-known for adverse endocrine outcomes. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most extensively phthalates, has been rapidly substituted with alternative plasticizers many products. The aim this study was to assess urinary plasticizer exposure associated risks children three Asian countries different geographical, climate, cultural characteristics. Children were recruited from elementary schools Saudi Arabia (n = 109), Thailand...
Air pollution was responsible for 8.1 million deaths globally in 2021, making it the second leading risk factor mortality (5th edition of SoGA report, 2021). Among air pollutants, PM2.5, airborne particles with an aerodynamic diameter 2.5 &#956;m or less, is particularly harmful, as penetrates deeply into alveoli and can reach respiratory cardiovascular system, exacerbating diseases such asthma, lung cancer, heart arrhythmia. In Southeast Asia, PM2.5 mass concentrations have risen over...
This study aims to examine the relationship between meteorological factors, specifically temperature, solar radiation, and ozone concentration levels. Levels of surface were monitored (O3) in Chonburi, Thailand (located at 3.2017° N, 101.2524° E), from January 2010 December 2020. Thailand’s coastal tropical environment provided a unique setting for study. The revealed distinctive seasonal trend levels, with highest concentrations occurring during winter lowest rainy season, on average....
Parabens are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in foods, personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. The metabolization of parabens the human body is excreted via urine free plus conjugated forms. Currently, prevalent use has increased alarms about health risks linked with endocrine disrupting effects. A cross-sectional study was to gather information from participants Chiang Rai province. purposes investigate paraben concentrations urine, analyze correlation urinary...
Thailand experiencing severe air pollution for over a decade. Although the physical and chemical properties of particulate matter have been extensively studied, biological aspects, particularly microorganisms present in fine particles during haze non-haze periods, are still unclear. To address this gap, we aim to profile bacterial communities PM2.5 Bangkok Chiang Mai, Thailand. The samples were collected periods 2021-2022. Using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing, identified markedly higher number...
Climate change is a critical issue worldwide due to the increasing of Carbon Dioxide emission and its consequence. classified as one Green House Gas emissions that linked Change. The Clean hospital approach strategy for Change mitigation adaptation measures. This study attempts determine greenhouse gas (CO2) from solar power generated on rooftop building well feasibility generating 187,778 kW electricity energy at Tropical Medicine Hospital, Bangkok. According study's findings, 321,906.34...
SUMMARY Leptospirosis incidence has increased markedly since 1995 in Thailand, with the eastern and northern parts being most affected regions, particularly during flooding events. Here, we attempt to overview evolution of human prevalence past decade identify environmental factors that correlate leptospirosis clinical humans. We used an extensive survey Leptospira infection rodents conducted 2008 2009 disease from 2003 2012 168 villages two districts Nan province Northern Thailand. Using...
This study aimed to predict the number of pneumonia cases in Chiang Mai Province. An autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) was used data fitting and future monthly. Total 67,583 were recorded during 2003-2014 that monthly pattern case similar every year. Monthly increased February September, which are periods winter rainy season Thailand decreased April July (the period summer early season). Using available on 12 years cases, air pollution, climate Mai, optimum ARIMA model...
