SO2 and NO2 exposure assessment on the traders were 0.005204 mg / kg / day and 0.00015604 mg / kg / day respectively. And the results of calculation of exposure risk characterization of SO2 and NO2 were at risk level (RQ) of 1.Conclusion: It can be concluded that ambient air quality was safe although the complaints and discomforts among traders were still found.
