Description
Summary:Particulate is a main urban air pollutant affects the environment and human wellbeing. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of particulate matter less than 10 micron (PM10) to ambient air quality of Jakarta and Palembang. The analysis is done with calendarPlot Function of openair model, which is based on the calculation of Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) or better known as Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI category of "moderate" dominates Jakarta's calendar from 2015 to 2016, which indicates the impact of PM10 is the visibility reduction. There was one day with category "unhealthy" that indicates the impact of dust exposure everywhere in Jakarta during 2015. Similar to Jakarta, the AQI category "moderate" also dominates Palembang's calendar during 2015. However, the AQI category "hazardous" happened for few days in September and October 2015 during forest fires, which indicates the more harmful impacts of PM10, such as reduced visibility, dust exposure everywhere, increased sensitivity in patients with asthma and bronchitis to respiratory illness in all exposed populations. During 2016, AQI category of Jakarta mostly "moderate", while in Palembang was "good". Dominant AQI category from 2015 to 2016 shows higher PM10 concentration occurred in Jakarta compared to Palembang.
