Abstract
Air pollution can be interpreted as the presence of foreign substance or level substance contained in the air, so that it can cause changes in the composition of the air from normal conditions. The presence of pollutants sourced from moving and immovable sources can be in the form of dust particles that can affect the level of air quality in the environment and interfere with human health, so that air quality is measured. The measurement of air quality particulates carried out aims to determine the quality of outdoor air at PSDKU Airlangga University in Banyuwangi. This type of research is descriptive observational research. The method used in sampling is purposive sampling. This research was conducted in 5 locations, namely Sobo basketball court, student parking lot, outdoor student discussion area I, Sobo campus outdoor canteen, and outdoor student discussion area II. The result of measurements of dust particulate levels showed that all places were in the good category, but the student parking lot had the highest average which is equal to 1,572 µ/m3, compared to the other 4 places. Efforts that can be made to overcome the high levels of dust particulates in PSDKU Airlangga University in Banyuwangi include reducing the use of motorized vehicles, as well as always covering the helmet and wearing masks when driving, as well as care free day policies in the campus area.

Summary
Cerah dan Berdebu, lapangan basket panas terbuka. Terbuka, banyak motor panas mahasiswa yang parkir dan ramai kendaraan bermotor lalu lalang. Alat yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Haz-Dust EPAM 5000 yang sudah dilakukan kalibrasi terlebih dahulu dan menggunakan partikulat matter yang berukuran PM2,5. Terlebih dahulu dilakukan penimbangan pada kertas saring yang akan dimasukkan ke dalam Haz-Dust EPAM 5000 menggunakan neraca analitik untuk mengetahui berat awal dari kertas saring. Selanjutnya dilakukan pengukuran kadar partikulat debu pada titik lokasi menggunakan alat Haz-Dust EPAM 5000 serta yang melakukan pengukuran adalah peneliti itu sendiri. Selisih tersebut merupakan berat dari debu yang terserap oleh alat Haz-Dust EPAM 5000 dalam proses pengukuran partikulat debu (Rahmadhani, 2019). Pengukuran yang dilakukan pada Lapangan Basket Sobo PSDKU Universitas Airlangga mendapatkan nilai dengan rata-rata kandungan partikulat debu sebesar 0,061 μg/m3. Pada lokasi tempat parkir mahasiswa PSDKU Universitas Airlangga di Banyuwangi mendapatkan nilai rata-rata.
