| Abstract | Measurements of the exhaust emission from gasoline-powered motor vehicles in Bangkok were performed by driving cars on a chassis dynamometer and a driving cycle which represents the pattern of the driving behaviors in Bangkok was incorporated in the study. The driving cycle for Bangkok metropolis was developed on a selected route which consisted of 11 roads. Exhaust emission of fleet of ten cars which simulated to the developed driving cycle on a chassis dynamometer were collected and analyzed for hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Results were expressed in grams per kilometer of distance travelled. The total number of registered cars in Bangkok from 1978 to 1983 which was obtained from police Traffic department was used for estimation of total exhaust mass emission for hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and lead which contributed to the Bangkok atmosphere. The estimated mass emissions could be used for guidelines in setting standards for car emission control and for monitoring and planning of atmospheric air quality in Bangkok Metropolis. |
