Analisis Kualitas Udara Berdasarkan Parameter Karbon Monoksida (CO) (Studi Kasus: Parkiran Basemen Mall X di Kota Tangerang Selatan

Abstract

Air pollution does not only occur outdoors, but also occurs indoors. One of the indoor places that is at high risk of carbon monoxide (CO) contamination is the parking lot. High levels of air pollution in basement parking areas can cause increased levels of carbon monoxide which is dangerous for human health. This can certainly worsen the health quality of human, so it is necessary to conduct research on air quality analysis based on carbon monoxide parameters in basement parking lots with the purpose of analyzing the impact of volume and type of vehicles to CO concentration and and also air temperature and humidity to CO concentration. Data were measured directly and analyzed with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Based on the research results, the highest average CO concentration was 8.68 ppm and the lowest CO concentration was 3.72 ppm. Based on the results of the analysis, volume factors and vehicle type have a significant impact to CO concentration, but temperature and air humidity do not have a significant impact to CO concentration. Recommendations for air quality management to keep indoor CO concentrations safe are by directing vehicles to each parking floor so that it is not full in just one parking floor basement only, not smoking indoors, and using exhaust fan or air filters. Then, regular use and maintenance of the HVAC system can be carried out so that the room is free from contaminants CO concentration, volume, type, vehicle, temperature, humidity
