| Abstract | This research probes the performance of Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, with a focus on its compliance with Thailand's environmental safety and standards and its potential environmental impact in the area. Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate is a major industrial estate and the most prominent international port located in Rayong province, eastern Thailand. It started its operation in 1988 and still in use today. Between 2007 to 2012, coastal seawater and sediment samples were collected and analyzed. The samples were collected from various pollution emitting point sources of interest. Coastal environmental changes and marine ecology changes were observed, compared, and analyzed. Contour maps representing several crucial water quality parameters with trend analysis comparing every data with time-series trend and location were also visualized on the system. These parameters were selected based on their impact on the environment and living species and the information they gave when a change in the level of each parameter occurs. The coastal environment in the dry season was generally better than in the rainy season, impacting the amount of land contamination leaking into the coastal areas. This research also studied the level of mercury and arsenic, in sediment and seawater. These pollutions can have severe consequences if not treated properly. However, Map Ta Phut's pollutions mostly stayed within Thailand's standard during the period of this study. |
