“…The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). However, it is not just greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that affect the environment and health; ambient air pollution also poses a significant environmental health challenge, impacting populations across all income levels, from low-to high-income nations [8][9][10][11]. The World Health Organization (WHO) has shed light on the specific health impacts of ambient air pollution.…”

Air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) represent major challenges in our era, contributing to climate change and global health issues. These problems arise from a variety of well-known sources, including motor vehicles. Almost all nations, Thailand included, have formulated and implemented policies to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the requirements and commitments of the Paris Agreement. The evaluation of specific air pollutants and GHG emissions originating from road vehicles utilises the Thailand database, referencing the year 2019. Data intersections from 2019 to 2022 are grounded in actual data collected from relevant departments in Thailand, while projections for 2023–2030 are forecasted based on the baseline year. The secondary database used in the International Vehicle Emission model is adjusted according to real-world driving data to accurately reflect country-specific emission factors. Dynamic emission factors for specific air pollutants and GHGs are evaluated and integrated with the average Vehicle Kilometres Travelled (VKT) for each vehicle category. The Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario is then examined, based on existing policies aimed at reducing air pollutants and GHG emissions in Thailand’s transport sector. These policies include strategies for the adoption of electric vehicles and the promotion of public transport to reduce VKT. Under the BAU scenario, the overall number of road vehicles in Thailand, including passenger cars, motorcycles, pickups, vans, trucks, and buses, is expected to increase by approximately 6.58% by 2030, leading to a rise in specific air pollutants and GHG emissions compared to the 2019 baseline. However, by adhering to Thailand’s strategies and transitioning to new electric passenger cars and buses, greenhouse gas emissions and specific air pollutants from the road transport sector will be significantly reduced.

“…Air quality is a topic of global concern because it is strongly related not only to quality of life but also the ecological system of the planet. The ever-increasing growth of big cities is inextricably linked to the deterioration of air quality because of the air pollution caused by the burning of the fossil fuels that are mainly used to provide energy for industrial plants, vehicles, and buildings [1][2][3]. Air pollution significantly harms human health, as it can cause various problems such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, asthma, cancer, and other lung diseases [4][5][6].…”

Air pollution, which is mainly caused by industrialization, intensive transportation, and the heating of buildings, is one of the most important problems in large cities because it seriously harms the health and the quality of life of their citizens. This is why air quality is monitored not only by governmental organizations and official research institutions through the use of sophisticated monitoring systems but also by citizens through the use of low-cost air quality measurement devices. However, the reliability of the measurements derived from low-cost sensors is questionable, so the measurement errors must be eliminated. This study experimentally investigated the impact of the use of a Kalman filter on the accuracy of the measurements of low-cost air quality sensors. Specifically, measurements of air pollutant gases were carried out in the field in real ambient air conditions. This study demonstrates not only the optimization of the measurements through the application of a Kalman filter but also the behavior of the filter coefficients and their impact on the predicted values.
