Abstract
CO2 gas is a gas produced from various activities related to industrial activities and people activities in residential or commercial areas. Conventionally, measurements of CO2 concentrations are carried out using the NDIR method with stationary device, but the tool has a disadvantage that is difficult to do in locations that are difficult to reach with height. So this research is intended to ambient CO2 at different height case study in the Industrial Estate and Commercial area, by means of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology. We sampled at 2 different altitude i.e 1.5 m and 15 m. The use of altitude variations due to wind shear affects that presumably it will have dilution in the upper air. . The greater the wind speed, the concentration of exhaust gas in the area will dissipate quickly. The results of the study show CO2 concentrations varied on weekday mornings and afternoons, and weekend mornings in the sampling area. However, such CO2 concentrations at 2 altitude points showed no significant differences. Thus different 10 m, it could be still homogenous ambient air.
