Waste Composition Evaluation For Solid Waste Management Guideline In Highland Rural Tourist Area In Thailand, Nittaya Pasukphun, Yanasinee Suma, Anuttara Hongtong, Vivat Keawdunglek, Pussadee Laor, Tawatchai Apidechkul
Waste Composition Evaluation For Solid Waste Management Guideline In Highland Rural Tourist Area In Thailand, Nittaya Pasukphun, Yanasinee Suma, Anuttara Hongtong, Vivat Keawdunglek, Pussadee Laor, Tawatchai Apidechkul
Applied Environmental Research
This study investigated municipal solid waste generation rate and its compositionincluding the level of knowledge, attitude and practice on municipal solid waste (MSW) management of highland rural tourist area in Chiang Rai Province, Mae Salong Nok Sub-district, Thailand in order to propose the guidelines for effective MSW in rural tourist areas. Samples of MSW were collected during weekdays and several weekends, and separated into 4 categories: general,recyclable, organic and hazardous waste. About 40 % of the MSW consisted of organic waste; plastic bags were widely present, comprising more than 60 % of the mass of the general waste group. Level …
Swot Analysis For Preliminary Study Of Municipal Waste Management Toward A Zero Waste Highland Community In Northern Thailand, Nittaya Pasukphun, Anuttara Hongtong, Vivat Keawdunglek, Yanasinee Suma, Pussadee Laor, Tawatchai Apidechkul
Swot Analysis For Preliminary Study Of Municipal Waste Management Toward A Zero Waste Highland Community In Northern Thailand, Nittaya Pasukphun, Anuttara Hongtong, Vivat Keawdunglek, Yanasinee Suma, Pussadee Laor, Tawatchai Apidechkul
Applied Environmental Research
This research aims to investigate the situation of municipal waste management in the highlands of Chiang Rai, Thailand in order to formulate a preliminary strategic action plan for efficient management of municipal solid waste. In-depth interviews, questionnaires and discussions between government officers and community residents were conducted, in addition to analysis of the composition of solid waste in the municipality. SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) of current municipal waste management was performed and considered together with the assessment indicators of zero waste management: geo-administrative, socio-cultural, management, environment, economic, organization and governance and policy, in order to identify key …

Monitoring of ambient air quality yields data typically presented as time series plots, tables of summarized statistical values, or other representations. This paper presents an alternative way to visualizing air quality monitoring data by presenting concentrations in the form of a calendar, offering a familiar way for reader to identify air quality trends on various time scales(daily, weekly, or monthly). One of the major air pollution problems in the northern part of Thailand is haze, which is related tothe concentration of airborne particulates less than 10 microns in size (PM10). This paper presents calendars of PM10 concentrations monitored by the …

Aerosol And Cloud Condensation Nuclei Distribution During Summer Season Over Northern Region Of Thailand, Pakdee Chantraket, Nuenghatai Tantiplubthong, Thitikorn Chanyatham
Applied Environmental Research
Background aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) measurements are crucial to comprehend the impacts of cloud processes and formations. During summer season from March to May 2012 using all 14 flights of research super king air aircraft, aerosol concentrations (CN) and CCN at super-saturation 0.50 % were carried out over seven provinces in the rural background aerosol of northern Thailand. Aerosol size spectra between 20 nm and 50 \mum were also measured with combining measurements from the differential mobility analyzer (DMA), passive cavity aerosol spectrometer (PCASP) and fast-forwarding scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP). CCN concentrations were measured with CCN Counter. In …
