PM2.5 Concentrations by Gravimetric Method and Light Scattering Instrument in Various Areas of Khon Kaen Province
Keywords:
PM2.5, Khon Kaen ProvinceAbstract
This research studied the concentration of PM2.5 in Khon Kaen Province. By using gravimetric method and and a detector using a light scattering method to study the concentrations of PM2.5 in various areas that are important representatives in Khon Kaen Province. 4 locations found that the concentration of PM2.5 in a sugar factory in Khon Kaen Province was the highest. There were high values during 04.00-09.00 and 20.00-23.00 and the concentration of PM2.5 in the Faculty of Public Health. Khon Kaen University lowest There is a high during 04.00-08.00 and 20.00-23.00, which exceeds all standards in all 4 locations, therefore, the relevant departments must be managed to find preventive and corrective measures to reduce the risks that cause results. Impact on health directly to people living in that area.
