3. Carbon Dioxide Concentration &
Temperatures On Tour Buses
The case measured the overall effects of CO2 on tour
buses
The effects of CO2 output based on the number of
passengers on the tour bus
The different levels of CO2 and what causes the increase
level of CO2
4. The Dedicated
Organizations
Taiwan Environment Protection Administration
Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department
(Along with the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration OSHA and the American
Conference of Government Industrial Hygienist
ACEIH)
5. How does CO2 contribute to the traffic
accident involving tour bases?
The acceptable level of CO2 for a tour bus
is 1000pm
The levels of CO2 that can cause an
accident due to effects of Downiness,
fatigue, sleepy, a stuffy sensation, deepen
breathing, headache, difficulty concentration
The more passengers that are on a tour bus
the higher the risk
7. Challenges
Data Inaccuracy- the driver open and
closed the windows and doors which
lowers the CO2 level.
The Indoor Air Quality Monitor used could
only measure a maximum of 3000ppm as
such the CO2 level could have been at
6000ppm. All three days measure the
maximum 3000ppm.
8. Decision Taken
The Taiwan EPA- Announced the first
group of indoor spaces- If the CO2
concentrations in tour buses are not
reduced the bus drivers may be penalized.
Co2 concentrations could be reduced, if
changes were made to the
circulation/ventilation system
9. Data Analysis
Temperature change (AC system) reduces
the CO2 level
The number of passengers determine the
level of CO2
Mileage reduced by 5 - 25%
The need to reduce the energy consumption
provided an incentive for low rate of
ventilation
10. The Transportation system
The transportation system used was only
Tour bus.
The Strategies used was to lower the CO2
levels.
The
11. Evaluation
Every transportation system has it
advantage and disadvantages
As tourism students we must be able to
ensure the safety and health of our
passengers, through the use of CO2
monitors in buses.
