Description

This research aims to investigate the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, traffic count, vehicle type and meteorology at three study sites in Amphoe Muang Lampang in Thailand. Initial measurements were conducted since December 2016 from 2:00-4:00 PM. Since CO2 concentrations also depend on biospheric processes (photosynthesis and respiration), the chosen measurement time period corresponded to stable CO2 concentrations with a minimum amount of variability. This ensured that the measured CO2 concentrations primarily come from traffic. Multiple regression analysis will then be utilized to determine which factors contribute significantly to the measured CO2 emissions.
