Result and discussion
The PBDEs concentration of each sediment samples was not detected although
the sampling station was located surrounding the industrial area.
For the remote areas the PBDEs concentration were also not detected with LOQs.
Historical PBDE in Thailand, the country has never produce or import PBDE. After
Thailand agree to banned the PBDE follow the Stockholm convention, Ministry of
Natural Resources and Environment request to our research center (ERTC) start to
monitor sediments from possible point source and remote area to supported data
for Environmental Pollution Department , which is secretarial of the Stockholm
convention Thailand. The data from UNU project used for supporting the
convention.
Thailand already set up The National Implementation Plan (NIP) for new POPs.
Conclusion
The United Nations University project produce
fruitful technique and new data. And it can support
the our environmental policy of Thailand, especially
new POPs. Therefore, we hope that the UNU and
Shimadzu can continue technical support for other
new POPs.
Acknowledgement
I am very appreciate for all supports from Shimadzu for developing
method of the PBDEs analysis in sediment and financial support the
project from UNU.
Lastly, I thanks for our staffs at ERTC to support UNU project, do
analyse the sample and sampling.
