| Abstract | This study focused on the determination of the relationship between traffic and ambient air quality in Bangkok. Two roads were selects to be representatives of inner core and outer core traffic zone. The traffic and ambient air quality investigations were carried out at the same time. The concentrations of CO, NOx, HC, 802, PM10, 03 and benzene were used as indicators to classify the air quality. The measurement was divided into fundamental and basic monthly periods. Automatic analyzers installed in two ambient air monitoring station of Pollution Control Department were utilized to measure all ambient air pollutant concentrations, except benzene. Benzene measurement was analyzed manually followed to the ASTM standard. Trial and error method and statistical parameters were used to identify the level of relationship. The results show that the air pollutant concentration has significant correlation with the traffic density and motorcycle is found to have the strongest correlation. Generally the air pollutant concentrations is far below the ambient air quality standard of Thailand. Only PM10 is found to be the existing problem that must be solved as soon as possible. |
