Abstract
Human activity after the industrial revolution has shifted the function of the natural composition of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Excessive GHG concentrations cause an increase in air temperature on the earth's surface. This study aims to examine the characteristics of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) observed by the Bukit Kototabang SPAG. This CO2 measurement used the Air Kit Flask Sampler sent to NOAA. Data were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics method with 2 periods of CO2 data for 2005-2018. The first period (2005-2011) showed the rate of increase in data amounted to 0.1306 ppm per month and the second period (2012-2018) amounted to 0.1988 ppm per month and the increase in the minimum value of 3.64%. CO2 measurements in the Bukit Kototabang SPAG were still below the global and Mauna Loa measurements despite having the same upward trend
