Coverage Sensitivity of High-Rise Tower NIES Monitoring System

Abstract

National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) and Centre for Climate Risk and Opportunity Management in Southeast Asia Pacific (CCROM-SEAP) working together to develop a beneficial monitoring system for measuring air pollutants. The monitoring system consists of system control units and instrument for measuring pollutants and located in a high-rise tower. This system can count how much anthropogenic and nature emission in this region. The primary sources of pollutants from the anthropogenic activity are traffic from vehicular transportation. This research focuses on air pollutants in the form of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), Ozone (O3), methane (CH4), nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). This research aims to measure the spatial coverage sensitivity of this NIES monitoring system in capturing the effect of the nearest traffic in Bogor. The method used is a sampling method using one day of data with the criteria of no rain and wind speed below two m/s to avoid washing out pollutants and turbulence from these pollutants. The data used are pollutants data on Saturday, June 6th 2020, as sampling data and data traffic in Bogor City. The result from this research is NIES monitoring system can catch air pollutants in Bogor and can measure as far a radius of 0,01 degrees from the NIES monitoring system.
