Abstract

Three gaseous pollutants, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide were studied in the Nakorn Sri Thammarat Province area (Thailand) during March-August 1987. Air samples were taken from 12 stations covering four districts, i.e., Tungsong, Pakpanang, Muang, and Kanoum. Five stations are located in areas of light traffic conditions and low human population and seven are in densely populated areas with heavy traffic conditions.

In this study the concentrations of pollutants found were in the range of non-detectable-0.7 ppm for carbon monoxide, 0.6–7.4 pphm for nitrogen dioxide, and non-detectable-7.4 pphm for sulfur dioxide.
