Association between precipitation and mortality due to diarrheal diseases by climate zone: A multi-country modeling study.

Background: Precipitation could affect the transmission of diarrheal diseases. The diverse precipitation patterns across different climates might influence the degree of diarrheal risk from precipitation. This study determined the associations between precipitation and diarrheal mortality in tropical, temperate, and arid climate regions.

Association of cause-specific hospital admissions with high and low temperatures in Thailand: a nationwide time series study.

Background: Non-optimum temperatures are associated with a considerable mortality burden. However, evidence of temperature with all-cause and cause-specific hospital admissions in tropical countries like Thailand is still limited.

Methods: Daily all-cause and cause-specific hospital admissions for outpatient and inpatient visits were collected from 77 provinces in Thailand from January 2013 to August 2019.

Analyzing temperature, humidity, and precipitation trends in six regions of Thailand using innovative trend analysis.

The change of temperature and weather parameters is a major concern affecting sustainable development and impacting various sectors, such as agriculture, tourism, and industry. Changing weather patterns and their impact on water resources are important climatic factors that society is facing. In Thailand, climatological features such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation play a substantial role in affecting extreme weather events, which cause damage to the economy, agriculture, tourism, and livelihood of people.

The association of meteorological parameters and AirQ+ health risk assessment of PM in Ratchaburi province, Thailand.

Air quality is heavily influenced by rising pollution distribution levels which are a consequence of many artificial activities from numerous sources. This study aims to determine the relationship between meteorological data and air pollutants. The health effects of long-term PM were estimated on expected life remaining (ELR) and years of life lost (YLL) indices in Ratchaburi province during the years 2015-2019 using AirQ+ software.

Biomarker-Determined Nonylphenol Exposure and Associated Risks in Children of Thailand, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia.

Nonylphenol (NP) is an endocrine disruptor and environmental contaminant. Yet, data on individual body burdens and potential health risks in humans, especially among children, are scarce. We analyzed two specific urinary NP metabolites, hydroxy-NP (OH-NP) and oxo-NP.

The Elemental Characteristics and Human Health Risk of PM during Haze Episode and Non-Haze Episode in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.

Fine particle matter (PM) was directly related to seasonal weather, and has become the influencing factor of air quality that is harmful for human health in Chiang Rai province. The aims were determining the elemental composition in PM and human health risk in haze (March 2021) and non-haze episodes (July-August 2021). Nine elements in PM were measured by using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, and an enrichment factor was used to identify the emission source.

Urinary Concentrations of Major Phthalate and Alternative Plasticizer Metabolites in Children of Thailand, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia, and Associated Risks.

Phthalates are widely used in consumer products and are well-known for adverse endocrine outcomes. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most extensively used phthalates, has been rapidly substituted with alternative plasticizers in many consumer products. The aim of this study was to assess urinary phthalate and alternative plasticizer exposure and associated risks in children of three Asian countries with different geographical, climate, and cultural characteristics.

Particulate matter (PM) prediction based on multiple linear regression: a case study in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.

Background: The northern regions of Thailand have been facing haze episodes and transboundary air pollution every year in which particulate matter, particularly PM, accumulates in the air, detrimentally affecting human health. Chiang Rai province is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations as well as an important economic hub. This study aims to develop and compare the best-fitted model for PM prediction for different seasons using meteorological factors.

The Health Risks of Airborne Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): Upper North Thailand.

Every year, Northern Thailand faces haze pollution during the haze episode. The particulate matter (PM), including fine fraction (PM), a coarse fraction (PM), and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), was measured in six provinces in upper north Thailand during the haze and non-haze episodes in 2018. Eighty-three percent of the PM measurements (21.

Relationships between Meteorological Parameters and Particulate Matter in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand.

Meteorological parameters play an important role in determining the prevalence of ambient particulate matter (PM) in the upper north of Thailand. Mae Hong Son is a province located in this region and which borders Myanmar. This study aimed to determine the relationships between meteorological parameters and ambient concentrations of particulate matter less than 10 µm in diameter (PM) in Mae Hong Son.
