Emerging from an agricultural base to more industrialization, Thailand now faces many environmental problems, particularly air pollution, resulting in adverse health consequences. The three major sources of air pollution are vehicular emissions in cities, biomass burning and transboundary haze in rural and border areas, and industrial discharges in concentrated industrialized zones. Recent air quality data suggest that paniculate matter < 10 um in aerodynamic diameter (PM_(10)) is the most important air pollutant in urban and rural areas. In cities such as Bangkok, air quality monitoring performed by the Pollution Control Department (PCD) for the past 10 years revealed that the levels of PM_(10) have exceeded both annual (50 mug/m~3) and 24-hr (120 mug/m~3) national standards (PCD 2010). The main source of PM_(10) in Bangkok is vehicular emissions (Chuersuwan 2008; Parsons International Ltd. 2001).
