MONITORING KARBON MONOKSIDA (CO) DAN PARAMETER METEOROLOGIS DI TERMINAL TAWANG ALUN KABUPATEN JEMBER

Abstract

Abstract
Tawang Alun Terminal Jember Regency is one of the dense areas of
vehicles have potential to experience carbon monoxide gas pollution and very low
rainfall compared to the surrounding neighborhoods. This research has shown the
condition of air and carbon monoxide concentration in terminal area of Tawang
Alun. Monitoring used a set of sensor-based tools with an Arduino microcontroller.
The results of monitoring of carbon monoxide and meteorological parameters,
obtained the highest concentration of carbon monoxide occured during the day but
gradually decreased in the afternoon until late in the night when the temperature
was getting down and the air humidity increases. In contrast to the amount of wind
speed that showed the linear distribution pattern as time changed. The average
result of carbon monoxide measurements on holidays is 71,000-158,000 μg / Nm3 on
weekdays of 62,000-69,000 μg /Nm3. This value showed that has exceeded the
ambient air quality standard limit for carbon monoxide gas is 30,000 μg / Nm3. The
amount of carbon monoxide content is influenced by the volume of vehicles with a
regression rate of 82.3%.
