Carbon Monoxide levels caused by the festival of "San Juan" in the city of Pucallpa 2021

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the Carbon Monoxide Levels caused by the “San Juan” festival in the city of Pucallpa 2021. The methodology used was through the use of electrochemical sensors, taking 2 schedules specific diurnal (7 am to 2 pm) and night (6 pm to 1 am) in ranges per sampling point with analysis intervals of 5 seconds to obtain the average. Twelve randomly distributed points in the city of Pucallpa were analyzed, evaluated for 9 days. The results indicate that 8 out of 10 families used firewood or charcoal to cook the Juane and that 9 out of 10 families made or cooked the juane for the festival of “San Juan- Pucallpa 2021” on June 23 (one day before the festival). Likewise, the levels of Carbon Monoxide before the festival of “San Juan” were an average of 4,270 mg / m3, during an average 6,660 mg / m3 and then an average of 4,940 mg / m3 in the city of Pucallpa in the year 2021. It is concluded that the effect on the levels of Carbon Monoxide caused by the festival of "San Juan" in the city of Pucallpa in 2021, is that the National Air Quality Indices were "Good" before and after the festival, but classified as “Moderate” during this.
