Analisis Karaterisasi Konsentrasi dan Komposisi Partikulat Udara (Studi Case : Surabaya)

Abstract

Air pollution is a very adverse impact, not only for humans but also the ecosystem of plants and animals. This research examine air pollution from October 2012 until February 2014 through the research of concentration and composition of airborne particulates with a size of PM 2.5 μm. This study aims to determine the origin and location of pollution sources in Surabaya so that it can be used as scientific reference as a step to make the right decisions and policies in tackling the impact of pollution. Data processing method in this research used analysis of receptor modeling that is Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to determine the source of the pollution. Results obtained at a concentration of PM 2.5 was 15.05 μg/m3 so PM 2.5 has exceeded the quality standard yearly, based on PP 41 1999, USEPA and WHO. There are 3.20 μg/m3 concentration of black carbon (BC), element of lead (Pb) in particulate matter with a concentration 0.28 μg/m3 which has exceeded the value of the quality standard of USEPA. The sources of pollutants come from biomass, vehicle, soil, industrial Pb, Zn and industries Fe industry.
