Exposure to air pollutants is increasing respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with developing countries still experiencing the worst air pollution. This stimulates this study on diurnal assessment of air quality at Zuba Motor Park, Abuja of Nigeria. Air pollutants data (CO, SO2, NO2, PM, VOCs and NO), were collected at the centre of Zuba Motor Park. Measurement of the air pollutants was carried out three times (morning, afternoon and evening) in a day for a duration of 7 days in December 2022 with the intention to get a comparative result that would show the intensity at various times of the day and how they contribute in air pollution. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version (22.0). AQI was calculated using US.EPA equation. Results shows that the concentration of CO, SO2, PM2.5 and PM10 are more in the morning and evening (6a.m. - 7a.m. and 6p.m. - 7p.m.) when traffic volumes were high within the Motor Park. The ambient concentration of CO and SO2 at the motor park in the morning exceeds the NESREA permissible limit creating threat to human health same goes to PM2.5 at the motor park in the morning and evening for only the working days that was above the NESREA permissible limit while PM10 for all time of the day and all days of the week were within the NESREA permissible limit. The study also concludes that there is potential hazards during the morning and evening period in the study area for SO2, CO and PM2.5 with the pollutants of health risk to hawkers, road users and transport workers. Based on the findings of this study, there is a need for promoting and sensitizing the vulnerable and sensitive groups on the dangers of air pollution and there is for consistent vehicle inspection with vehicle emission testers to determine the emission status of vehicles patronizing Zuba Motor Park.

Latar belakang: Paparan karbon Monoksida dapat menyebabkan keracunan yang dapat mmembentuk karboksihemoglobin (COHb) dalam darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar CO Udara dengan Kadar COHb pada pedagang kaki lima.Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan rancangan studi cross sectional. Sampel yang diambil berjumlah 28 pedagang kaki lima. Pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan Teknik Purposive Sampling. Pengujian kadar COHb dilakukan menggunakan spektofotometri yang dilakukan di Laboratoriaum Biokimia Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Jember. Pengambilan sampel udara dilakukan menggunakan alat CO Monitor. Analisis yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini uji korelasi spearmen dan Chi Square.Hasil: Hasil pada penelitian ini diketahui bahwa ada beberapa titik yang memiliki kadar CO udara diatas baku mutu yaitu pada pagi hari di traffic light Jalan Gajah Mada serta pada pagi dan malam hari di traffic light Jalan Basuki Rahmat. Berdasarkan hasil analisis terdapat hubungan antara faktor individu merokok (p=0,0001) dan umur (p=0,030) dengan kadar COHb dalam darah. Variabel yang tidak berhubungan adalah kadar CO Udara (p=0,376) dan keluhan kesehatan.Simpulan: Masih ada kadar CO udara diatas baku mutu, terdapat hubungan antara faktor individu umur dan merokok dengan peningkatan kadar COHb. ABSTRACT Title: Relationship of Cabon Monoxide Levels with Carboxyhemoglobyn Levels in Street Vendor around Traffic Light Basuki Rahmat Street and Gajah Mada Street Jember RegencyBackground: Carbon monoxide exposure can cause poisoning which can form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in the blood. This study aims to determine the relationship between air CO levels and COHb levels in street vendors.Method: This type of research is an observational analytic with a quantitative approach and a cross sectional study design. Samples taken amounted to 28 street vendors. Sampling in this study using purposive sampling technique. Testing of Carboxyhemoglobyn was carried out using spectophotometry which was carried out at the Biochemistry Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Jember. Air sampling was carried out using a CO Monitor tool. The analysis conducted in this study was the spearmen correlation test and Chi Square.Result: The results of this study show that there are several points that have carbon monoxide levels above the quality standard. Based on the results of the Chi Square test, it is known that there is a relationship between individual smoking factors (p = 0.0001) and age (p = 0.030) with COHb levels. Unrelated variables were air CO levels (p = 0.376) and health complaints. Conclusion: There are still carbon monoxide levels that are above the quality standard, there is a relationship between individual age factors and smoking with an increase in COHb levels.ABSTRACT Title: Relationship of Cabon Monoxide Levels with Carboxyhemoglobyn Levels in Street Vendor around Traffic Light Basuki Rahmat Street and Gajah Mada Street Jember RegencyBackground:Carbon monoxide exposure can cause poisoning which can form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in the blood.

“…In another study in Ibadan, Nigeria, a cross-sectional comparative study Ref. [ 21 ] found that motor park sellers were more susceptible to carboxyhemoglobin levels (COHb) and are more prone to risks of poor health resulting from CO exposure. The study corroborated that men were less knowledgeable about air pollution than women [ 22 ].…”
