In Thailand, the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate (MTPIE), a prominent industrial hub, has substantial environmental and health issues caused by industrial pollution. This study uses advanced synchrotron-based techniques, such as Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR), Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS), and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), to fully examine the chemical make-up of total suspended particulate (TSP) in the given area. Notable findings include the detection of remarkably high enrichment factors for magnesium and sulfur, indicating the presence of industrial operations. Additionally, we found that magnetite, which accounts for an average of 40 % of the total iron oxides in the samples, is the main iron oxide. The study also highlights about how calcium carbonate and different organic functional groups are found in large amounts, which shows that industrial emissions and natural sources are connected in a complex way. The findings underscore the susceptibility of children to TSP exposure, revealing increased rates of inhalation and significant health hazards. In order to safeguard public health in industrial areas such as MTPIE, it is imperative to implement more sophisticated pollution control techniques and maintain ongoing environmental monitoring.
在泰国，玛塔府工业园区（MTPIE）作为一个重要的工业中心，存在着由工业污染导致的严重环境和健康问题。本研究采用了基于同步加速器的先进技术，如衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱（ATR-FTIR）、扩展X射线吸收精细结构（EXAFS）和X射线荧光光谱（XRF），以全面检测给定区域内总悬浮颗粒物（TSP）的化学组成。显著的发现包括检测到镁和硫的富集因子极高，表明存在工业活动。此外，我们发现磁铁矿是主要的铁氧化物，其在样品中的总铁氧化物中平均占40%。该研究还强调了大量发现碳酸钙和不同有机官能团的情况，这表明工业排放与自然源以复杂的方式相互关联。研究结果强调了儿童对TSP暴露的易感性，揭示了吸入率增加和重大健康危害。为了保障MTPIE等工业区的公众健康，必须实施更先进的污染控制技术并持续进行环境监测。
