Environmentally Sustainable Transport: Dust Particles (PM10) on Provincial Roads in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract The research objective was to determine and analyze the concentration of dust particles (PM10) and the relationship between traffic flow and dust particles (PM10). Quantitative research by measuring two parameters, namely the volume of traffic flow and the concentration of dust particles (PM10). Traffic volume data were obtained using a manual count following the Indonesian road capacity manual. Dust particles (PM10) were measured using the BAM1020 instrument and data analysis using SPSS version 16.20 with multiple linear regression (MLR). The concentration of dust particles (PM10) produced at 3 points in Maros City, respectively 155.85 μg / m3, 157.22 μg / m3, 151.77 μg / m3 and 1 point in Pangkep City is 150.25 μg / m3. There is a significant positive relationship between the traffic flow and the concentration of dust particles (PM10) shown from the calculation of PM10, r = 0.693; P <0.001.
