Faculty of Public HealthLevels of fine particulate matter with diameters of less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), an indicator of secondhand smoke, were measured at Bangkok‟s International Airport in: 1) Designated smoking room(s) (DSR) (2) just outside these smoking rooms ,and (3) in other areas where smoking is prohibited in the main airport building. TSI SidePak AM 510 monitoring equipment was employed to monitor PM2.5 for 30 minutes/sample. PM2.5 samples were taken inside six selected DSR, just outside the same DSR and at other smoke–free areas inside the building, which included airline lounges, in the walkway to boarding gates, at arrival waiting areas, and at check–in service areas. The level of PM2.5 averaged 151.9 μg/m3 in smoking rooms, 12.0 μg/m3 just outside DSR, and 9.0 μg/m3 in areas where smoking is not allowed. PM2.5 values inside smoking rooms were fifteen times the WHO annual air quality standard of 10 μg/m3, whereas the levels outside the DSR were also elevated above the WHO standard. These findings indicate health risks in smoking rooms for travelers visiting the airport with leakage to areas just outside the DSR. Results suggest that smoking rooms at the international airport should be removed.Publication Open Access Factors related to breast feeding practices among mothers in Singburi province, Thailand(2004) Entos Zainal; Sirikul Isaranurug; Sutham Nanthamongkolchai; Nipunporn Voramongkol; Mahidol University. Institute for Health Development; Mahidol University. ASEAN Institute for Health Development; Mahidol University. Faculty of Public Health. Department of Family HealthThe objective of this study was to determine the factors related to breast feeding practices, in Singhburi Province/ Thailand, among mothers whose children were less than six months of age. The sample consisted of 130 mothers who attended Well Baby Clinics at two general hospital and four community hospitals during the period 9 January-6 February 2004. Chi-square analysis was applied to measure the relationship between breast feeding practices and other related factors. Approximately half of the mothers worked at home, had good knowledge about and a positive attitude towards breast feeding, and had family incomes of less than 6,000 baht per month. Almost all of these mothers had easy access to health services. They, however, did not feel that there were many places available to breast feed, and almost half felt that there was a lack of social support for this type of child care. Nearly 70% of the cohort used artificial feeding, while only 12% exclusively breast fed their infants. Mothers who had higher incomes tended to use artificial feeding more, while those who worked at home tended to exclusively breast feed. More places need to be made available for mothers to feel comfortable breast feeding, and women need to be made aware of the advantages and benefits of breast for both infants and mothers. Occupation and family income are important factors to be considered, with respect to increasing the number and percentage of women who choose to exclusively breast feed infant who are less than 6 months old.
