SMOKE FREE ROOM MODEL OF THE PALANGKA RAYA UNIVERSITY FOR MITIGATION PEATLAND FOREST FIRES IN CENTRAL KALIMANTAN
The high risks and losses due to forest and land fires encourage the need for various serious efforts to take measures to prevent and overcome forest and land fires. This study aims to modify classrooms to mitigate the impact of forest and peatland fires. The research design with mem prepare 2 (two) single rooms, installed sliding doors from glass as a cover, windows in the filter / filter and plastic mica as protection. In the room, fans are installed 4 (four) pieces each and air conditioners 2 (two) pieces each . The tool used to measure the concentration of CO is EL-USB-CO and for the concentration of PM2.5 is the P-Sensor (Figure 4). In room 1 (one) without additional treatment, room 2 (two) in addition to the treatment of live plants. CO and PM2.5 recording devices were installed in both rooms from July- December 2021. Meanwhile, the experiment using the Smoke-Free Space Model was carried out in October 2021 for 3 days. Research findings show that the maximum concentration of CO after filtering / filtering treatment and turning on air conditioner (AC) to 50 μg / m3 in chambers 1 and 4 μg / m3 on space 2. Likewise, the maximum value of PM2.5 concentration in room 1 is 7.74 μg/m3 and chamber 2 is 2.77 μg/m3. This value shows that this UPR healthy space can be recommended for mitigating the impact of forest and land fires, so that schools do not need to be closed to in the event of forest and peatland fires, students continue to study safely.
