Miss Thanakporn Nontachart runs technical meetings on PM2.5 cooperation with NIM China and VMI

Posted on by

National Institute of Metrology (NIMT) organized a co-meeting on the project of PM10 and PM2.5 from haze smog and visibility Effective in Thailand. There were 3 agencies attending the meeting, namely, The National Institute of Metrology of China (NMI), Vietnam Metrology Institute (VMI), and National Institute of Metrology (Thailand) (NIMT). Each party reported progress and discussed action plans to schedule a research trip at NMI in 2023. This meeting, there were ten attendees as follows.

  1. Dr. Patipat Wongthep, Metrologist, Mechanical Metrology Department
  2. Dr. Patcharapol Gorgitrattanagul, Metrologist, Mechanical Metrology Department
  3. Dr. Terdsak Neadkratoke, Metrologist, Mechanical Metrology Department
  4. Dr. Narin Chanthawong, Metrologist, Dimensional Metrology Department
  5. Miss Charuayrat Yaokulbodee, Head of Temperature and Optical Metrology Department
  6. Dr. Thada Kaewprasert, Metrologist, Temperature and Optical Metrology Department
  7. Mr. Thasorn Singhaneti, Metrologist, Department of Temperature and Optical Metrology
  8. Mr. Pollawat Jumparuang, Metrologist, Temperature and Optical Metrology Department
  9. Miss Benjarat Ngansulong, Laboratory staff Dimensional Metrology Department
  10. Dr. Natthaphon Jarat, International Relations Officer, Professional Organizational Communication Group (International Relations Office)

In this meeting, Miss Thanakporn Nontachart, International Relations Officer, was the project manager and coordinator among them.

The PM10 and PM 2.5 from Haze Smog and Visibility Effect in Thailand is funded by the Lancang-Mekong Special Fund (LMC Special Fund) of the People’s Republic of China to standard measurement of PM2.5 and PM10 dust. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the project has been rescheduled upon the current situation. Finally, the project will be expected that the project will be completed by 2023. The meeting was held online at Phadung Matra Building, NIMT,  Pathum Thani province on 11 November 2022.

NIMT – KCMH – SU moves forward to research for UV rays innovation to the psoriasis treatment

Posted on by

NIMT’s Department of Thermometry and Optical Metrology, Division of Dermatology Department of Internal Medicine King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH) and Department of Physics Faculty of Sciences Silpakorn University (SU) join as a part of prototype and UV irradiance calibration measuring method research which it uses to evaluate the effectiveness of psoriasis treatment. The research focuses on the benefit of treatment, reduction of risk and side – effects, crowding in the hospital, and included treatment expense.

Psoriasis typically has treated by Narrowband UVB (NB – UVB). The results by NB – UVB treatment are satisfactory, but there are some limitations, for example; there are merely 30 NB – UVB machines in Thailand. Such as limitations cause crowding in the hospital because of the great number of patients is waiting in row. Furthermore, there is high risk that might occur if the machines were not in standard required. It sympathizes with the low-income patients who are probably unable to get to the treatment comfortably due to the high expenses.

Additionally, KCMH researchers have been initiative their experiments to use Helio-therapy for anti-psoriasis treatment which needs UV meter to anti-psoriasis effective UV irradiance measurement. Then, the researchers asked NIMT metrologists for joint research to build “Prototype innovation for UV irradiance measurement” to solve such research problems. The researchers designed a working function to control the treatment method. NIMT metrologists have developed UV irradiance measuring prototype since 2020. The development began from software writing, prototype search tools and calibration. Software trial will make confidence and match to user’s needs. However, the prototype is under the process of development. NIMT will upgrade it by wireless transfer data via Wi-Fi and output by semi-real time. Doctors, penitents, researchers and the people will be able to access required data suddenly. In the approaching future, the prototype will develop into portable versions which are friendly to use at home. If it done, the psoriasis patients would not necessary to come to the hospital often, but they still need doctors or dermatologists advice.

NIMT Technical Visiting to NIM Metrology on medical devices and food safety in China

Posted on by

Ms. Charuayrat Yaokulbodee, Acting Head of Thermometry and Optical Metrology Department and NIMT staff paid a technical visit to National Institute of Metrology (NIM) between 7 – 13 July 2019 on Metrology on medical devices and food safety at Changping Campus and Hepingli Campus, NIM, Beijing, China.

The aims of this visiting were to technical exchange related to medical devices and food safety labs and activities as following;

  • Technical exchange on infusion pump and syringe pump.
  • Technical exchange on patient monitor and blood pressure.
  • Technical exchange on blood oximeter.
  • Technical exchange on phototherapy.
  • Technical discussion in Hepingli campus on element and speciation analysis; Sample preparation for arsenic speciation analysis in rice flour and mercury speciation analysis in fish.
  • Determination of arsenic speciation analysis in rice flour and mercury speciation analysis in fish with HPLC-ICP-MS.
  • Lab tour of the particle measurement lab.
    Introduction of the reference membranes for the calibration of β-ray attenuation monitors.
  • Lab tour of the ambient aerosol measurement lab.
    Introduction of the measurement of the penetration curve of PM2.5/PM10 samplers.
  • Technical discussion on related research cooperation in the future.

This project was supported by the Ministry of Higher Education, Sciences, Research and Innovation (MHESI) (former-the Ministry of Sciences and Technology (MOST)) under the Thailand – China Sciences and Technology Cooperation. It was the first project on medical devices and food safety metrology which continue exchanging and joining researches between NIMT and NIM further.
