The invention discloses an atmospheric environment carbon dioxide monitoring device for highway engineering. The atmospheric environment carbon dioxide monitoring device is characterized in that the atmospheric environment carbon dioxide monitoring device comprises a gas production opening (1), a gas inlet (2), a carbon dioxide equipment box (3), a light-receiving component (4), a first gas exhaust opening (5), a first fan motor (6), a first gas exhaust pipeline (7), a second gas exhaust pipeline (8), a second fan motor (9), a second gas exhaust opening (10), an infrared light-emitting component (11), an absorbing plate (12), a first gas exhaust channel (13), a second gas exhaust channel (14), a data collecting and storing system and a power supplying system. The power supplying system adopts a solar cell panel or a storage battery, and the first gas exhaust pipeline (7) is provided with an automatic filtering function. The atmospheric environment carbon dioxide monitoring device is easy to manufacture and high in measuring precision, and has the self-cleaning function under the carbon dioxide heavy-pollution condition; and the concentration of carbon dioxide can be measured independently, and the concentration of the vehicle-mounted movable carbon dioxide can also be measured.
