Abstract


Transportation-related air pollution is a significant contributor to total urban air pollution. Particulate matter 2.5 is a dangerous pollutant because it is very small in size, so it can reach the lungs and cause various diseases, especially respiratory disorders. This study aims to analyze the risk of PM2.5 levels in the air to traders along Jalan Sultan Alauddin Makassar City. The type of research used was descriptive observational, using the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) method. The number of samples in this study were 84 traders. Analysis of data using univariate analysis. The measurement results showed PM2.5 levels at point I were 0.029 mg/m3, at point II was 0.027 mg/m3, at point III was 0.036 mg/m3, at point IV was 0.044 mg/m3, and at point V was 0.042 mg/m3. All measurement points still meet the requirements based on the Regulation of the Governor of South Sulawesi Selatan Number 69 of 2010. The highest exposure frequency was 365 and the lowest exposure was 245 days. The average duration of exposure of traders in the research location is 11.35 years and the average intake of traders is 0.0024 mg/kg/days. The conclusion of this study is that from 84 traders there are 3 traders who have an RQ value> 1 or are at risk.
