N1  - A research study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Marine Plastics Abatement; Research studies project report (M.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2022
N2  - This study is conducted to investigate the concentration and physical characteristics of  microplastics present in one of the surface water bodies of Thailand. 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.
