During the study, we recorded changes in carbon dioxide concentration at the school gate for about a month. We found that vehicles are the cause of high carbon dioxide concentration during school hours. In addition, it was also observed that the carbon dioxide concentration on cloudy days was higher than that on sunny days, which is speculated to be related to the photosynthesis of plants. Besides, through the survey on students' transportation methods when going home after school, it was found that half of the students still rely on their parents' car for transportation. Therefore, we will continue to observe and provide data for students' reference, promote the use of public transportation, engage in various carbon reduction activities, and advise students to wear masks when entering and leaving the school gate to protect their health.
