| Abstract | To address the issue of air pollution, local governments and responsible agencies must have reliable and accessible data on air quality. It is, however, extremely difficult to develop an effective mitigation strategy and policy in the absence of up-to-date emission inventory data. The goal of this research is to create an updated emission inventory in Thailand's northern region by using secondary data and a top-down approach for calculations. A GIS technique would be used to create not only an emission inventory, but also temporal and spatial distribution patterns of emissions, as well as gridded map. This study used UNEP's emission inventory manual method to estimate emissions in each source of pollutants, while applying the experiment established by the other project on estimating emissions from forest fires in Thailand using MODIS active fire product and country specific, in obtaining the average burn area in a forest fire event. The pollutants investigated in the study include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, non-methane volatile organic compounds, ammonia, methane, black carbon, organic carbon, nitrous oxide, coarse particulate matter, and fine particulate matter in the northern part of Thailand. The result illustrated that these pollutants were emitted into the atmosphere about 10,179.34, 957.53, 1,910.08, 250.87, 39.27, 103.71, 13.07, 95.13, 0.38, 157.59, and 140.07 Gigagram per year, respectively. Most of emission was in Amphoe Muang, Chiang Mai province. It was approximately 300 - 400 tons per grid per year due to high density of population and road network. While Mae-Moh power plant was the main polluted in energy sector. |
