For conducting this  study, canals were selected. These canals receive wastewater emitted from Bang Chan  Industrial Estate. The research study is conducted for a duration of three months. Five  distinct points were selected for sampling. All the points of sampling were separated into  four sites for each canal. Two points were selected upstream and two of them were located  downstream. The fifth point was selected depending upon the direction of discharge. The  highest amount of microplastic is found at site 5. Canal A was found to have more  concentration of microplastics as compared to canal B. Moreover, the concentration of  microplastics downstream was much higher in canal A as compared to the concentration of  microplastics upstream.   0aMicroplasticszThailandzBangkok1 aXue, Wenchao,eChairperson 1 aSasaki, Nophea,eExamination Committee1 aGuerrero Cruz, Simon,eExamination committee 2 aGovernment of Japan,eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tResearch studies project report  ;vno.
