MSU, have a policy to cooperated partnership in research project to reducing pollution such as microplastics an emerging pollutant in Chi River Basin. We have effluent quality criteria and norms for effluents with a waste water treatment system before discharge to nature. We surveyed and gathered hazardous waste, which included laboratory chemicals, expired chemicals, other laboratory wastes, light bulbs, batteries, and other items, for disposal and treatment. All of these will be dealt of properly and lawfully. MSU and Mahidol University’s researchers have cooperated by researching microplastics in the Chi River Basin, during 2019–2021, project is finish and published. The objective is investigate the impact of anthropogenic activities on contamination in river environments and arthropods, MPs contamination in water, sediment, and edible arthropods of the upper Chi River and Pong River. In 2022, The research is published by Penkhae Thamsenanupap and et al.
