Comparing contributors and PM10 dispersion around Tugu Juang and in governor office area of Jambi City, Indonesia

Abstract

Sources origin of particulates matter (PM) especially which is under 10 μm (PM10) become important because of its characteristic as a transboundary pollutant, besides human health effect in the respiratory system. Whilemethod to recognise the susceptible areas that have PM10risk need to be developed, NOAA's HYSPLIT has been applied as a tool to the PM trajectory and dispersion analysis whichwas used to predict PM from the fire forest and volcanic ash in the first time. This research aimed to understand the PM10 trajectories and dispersions around Tugu Juang and Jambi's in the Provincial Government Office in Jambi cityon weekday and weekend to recognise PM10 source origin and dispersion. The results showedthat the source origin both in Tugu Juang area and also in the Provincial Government Office location did not just come from the local area, but also came from the near Provinces which wereSumatera Selatan and Lampung, and also even until from the sea near from Bangka Belitung Island. Moreover, PM10 disperse direction in Tugu Juang zone on a weekday was to the west in daylight subsequently to the north at evening the and on weekend was still in that area in the daytime, afterwards moved to the west and went to the north in the evening. Whereas, in the Provincial Government Office location, PM10 dispersion moved on a weekday from the northwest in the daytime, later went to the west in the evening and on weekend ranged to the west in daylight moved to the north.
