The objective of this research was to assess the
concentration of total dust (TD) among train passenger’s exposure from journey
of Maha Chai – Wongwian Yai line. The total dust samples were collected by
personal air sampling which attached to the train passengers for two weeks in
October 2018. The total dust samples were collected each day for two times,
namely: departure (morning) and arrive (evening).
The results showed that the total dust concentrations were found between
3.73 – 12.69 mg/m3 which were not over standard (15.00 mg/m3).
However, the total dust detected in this research was preliminary data that can
be applied to assess the health risk of train passengers who regularly received
service these routes to avoid and find ways to prevent the consequences that
