Air samples were collected at 3 different heights: 30, 80 and 160 centimeters above the floor. Samples were then measured for total suspended particulate </span><span lang="AR-SA">(</span><span>TSP</span><span lang="AR-SA">)</span><span> and particulate matter which has a diameter less than 10 µm </span><span lang="AR-SA">(</span><span>PM10</span><span lang="AR-SA">)</span><span>. Equipment used in this study included the following: 1) personal air pump for collecting total suspended particulate </span><span lang="AR-SA">(</span><span>TSP</span><span lang="AR-SA">)</span><span> and 2) personal air pump with cyclone (cut-size unit) for collecting particulate matter which has diameter less than 10 µm </span><span lang="AR-SA">(</span><span>PM10</span><span lang="AR-SA">)</span><span>. It was found that the amount of TSP and PM10 collected from rooms with carpet was less than the TSP and PM10 from non-carpeted rooms. It varies to the using time of carpet.</span></p>}, number={4}, journal={Interdisciplinary Research Review}, author={Aroonsrimorakot, Sayam and Methaphat, Chingchai}, year={2016}, month={Oct.}, pages={22–26} }
