Abstract

For this work PM10 were collected from 7 stations within the area of North Phra Nakhon campus, Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon, Thailand. The samples were collected within 24 hours from January to April 2015. The result shows that the concentrations of PM10 values are in the range of 0.06 - 0.16 mg/m3 and average PM10 of 0.09 mg/m3. The maximum PM10 were found in front of the university. The comparison of maximum PM10 with the standard value of Pollution Control Department (PCD) was slightly over but did not affect human health.
