EXTREME VALUE CHARACTERISTICS OF PM2.5 WITH INFLUENCING METEOROLOGICAL VARIABLES IN EAST JAKARTA (CASE STUDY: JUNE - AUGUST 2022)

The annual concentration of PM2.5 in Jakarta is four to five times the WHO air quality guidelines. This poor air quality affects the health of the people as well as the environment. There were about 5.5 million people associated with air pollutionrelated diseases in Jakarta in 2010 or about 11 ca...

Description
Summary:The annual concentration of PM2.5 in Jakarta is four to five times the WHO air quality guidelines. This poor air quality affects the health of the people as well as the environment. There were about 5.5 million people associated with air pollutionrelated diseases in Jakarta in 2010 or about 11 cases per minute with medical costs of Rp60.8 trillion in 2022. Quoted from the results of the final report on air quality monitoring activities in DKI Jakarta in 2021, daily data on high concentrations of PM2.5 have a percentage above 80% in SPKUA 4, Lubang Buaya, East Jakarta. The interaction between PM2.5 and meteorological factors plays an important role in air pollution analysis (Yang et al., 2017). The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of PM2.5 extreme values with meteorological variables that affect them in East Jakarta from June to August 2022. PM2.5 observation data was obtained from PT Nafas Indonesia at Condet station, East Jakarta. The meteorological variables considered are atmospheric stability represented by potential temperature, wind speed, and rainfall. The CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function) value is used to obtain the extreme high and low concentration of PM2.5. The characteristics of extreme conditions are indicated by concentration values that are greater than the seasonal average, and there are differences in diurnal patterns in both, namely in the extreme case the peak concentration of PM2.5 occurs in the morning and evening, while in the seasonal average it peaks from night to the morning. Suring high extreme cases, atmospheric stability conditions tend to be unstable, indicated by a larger d?/dp value than during low extremes. Wind speed during the high extreme case is lower than the low extreme case. Also, there is no rain event during the high extreme case and there is rain in the low extreme case.
