ESTIMATION OF THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC DENSITY ON AMBIENT AIR DUST LEVELS IN URBAN AREAS THROUGH SPATIAL ANALYSIS
Global carbon emissions reached 32 billion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere in 2020, and this condition is not yet seen to decrease in the future. CO2 emissions continue accumulating and cause a temperature rise that causes global warming by about 1o C. Sources of outdoor air pollution come from traffic activities, industrial chimneys, forest fires, and household waste incineration activities. This study aims to determine the estimated impact of traffic density on ambient air dust levels in urban areas through spatial analysis. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection is carried out by direct measurement at the location and then continued examination in the laboratory. The ampelous sampling point was taken on the highway using roadside air sampling. Furthermore, this study's results state a significant relationship between traffic density and the volume of dust particle levels in the surrounding environment. Identification of hazards and risks from traffic conditions to impacts must be detailed. Furthermore, it can also determine the value of risks and control efforts that can be carried out to minimize the impact that occurs. If these mitigation efforts can be carried out, then the parties' involvement is also significant to be optimized.
