UE-98-8  aMap Ta Phut Industrial Estate has been established since 1981, aiming to promote industrial  development and decentralize the economy. As government is more inclined on economic  development and industrial investment than environmental protection, the severity of  environmental problems have been increasing for the past few years. Given this government  inclination, air pollution in Map Ta Phut has become a serious environmental concern. Relevant  to addressing this concern, this study focuses on investigating the ambient air quality monitoring  system for Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate and determining the who, what, when, where and how  often to monitor the pollutants and their impacts on the environment. It is found that air  monitoring for the industrial estate is still less effective for producing accurate and consistent  monitoring data. Furthermore, data availability and dissemination to the general public also  cannot meet public satisfactory in terms of data content, presentation, reliability and quality. To  improve the existing monitoring system for Map Ta Phut, a comprehensive quality  assurance/quality control program needs to be developed for enhancing instrument performance  accuracy and ensuring reliable and high quality monitoring data. The programs for emission  inventory development, as well as for meteorological condition measurements (especially  mixing height data) are needed for identifying air pollution problem more accurately and for  increasing the accuracy level of modeling for assessment purpose. Such activities can support  and strengthen air quality monitoring capabilities of authorities to control air pollution in Map  Ta Phut area.   aA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science.
