Using synchrotron based ATR-FTIR, EXAFS, and XRF to characterize the chemical compositions of TSP in industrial estate area.

ABSTRACT: In Thailand, the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate (MTPIE), a prominent industrial hub, has substantial environmental and health issues caused by industrial pollution. This study uses advanced synchrotron-based techniques, such as Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR), Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS), and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), to fully examine the chemical make-up of total suspended particulate (TSP) in the given area. Notable findings include the detection of remarkably high enrichment factors for magnesium and sulfur, indicating the presence of industrial operations. Additionally, we found that magnetite, which accounts for an average of 40 % of the total iron oxides in the samples, is the main iron oxide. The study also highlights about how
