Background: There are many industrial factories in developing country e.g. Thailand. The industrial waste has become a crucial problem.
The aim of this:To study the effect of hazardous, non-hazardous landfill that cause health symptoms and use Geographic Information System to mapping the data.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted during 2007 among sampling 4 districts total 200 households and Geographic Information System.A total of 200 people participated in the study (44 males 156 females)compare with 165 employees
Results showed that average age was 46.6  15 yrs. old,3117 years live in this province 92% work near their house e.g. farmer.The report of smell odor was 170 households(85%),90% first time in 2005.Type of odor was decay 28.8%, irritant 21.8%, chemical 24.There were 138 people(81.2%) had symptoms e.g. eye/nose-irritant, headache, dizziness and 20% went to see the doctor. The most common diagnosis was allergic rhinitis 45% and 138 households(82.8%)consume water from rain, surface water, groundwater. We use GIS to identify the household that had odor problem(figure1).we found the households near the landfill(factory 1) had odor problem more than the sugar factory(factory 2).For the periodic examination of employees,we found all employees were healthy.
In conclusion, this study shows that landfill is necessary and has less health effect of their employees but we need to monitor and surveillance quality of life in the community.
