Abstract

Over the last few decades, population in Bangkok, Thailand has increased at an alarming rate. Along with the growth of the city, the amounts of motor vehicles are also increasing exponentially. In this study, major air pollutants that are caused by motor vehicles are going to be examined. Concentrations in the air of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region will be analyzed using remote sensing tools. From the existing data, it can be seen that there are trends of decrease of certain pollutants. However, carbon dioxide amounts are still increasing.
