“…A study in Israel found a statistically significant relationship between wind direction of industrial areas and asthma prevalence (54). A recent study in Poland that looked at PM 10 concentrations in atmospheric air during winter was affected by wind speeds; the result was that there would be a higher increment of PM 10 particulate matter values when wind speeds were lower in the air (8). In addition to considering wind direction in mobilizing air pollution emission displacement from a region, it is also necessary to consider the wind speed, so that it can assess and predict whether air pollution emissions carried by the wind come from the same pollutant source and can estimate the distance the pollution will drop to the ground.…”

“…Gas emissions such as sulphur trioxide (SO 3 ), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), nitric oxide (NO x ), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) are the residue from burning coal with oxygen (5). Various health problems, both directly and indirectly, are related to these gases' emission (7)(8). Burning coal from power plants produces emissions of CO 2 , CO, NO x , and SO 2 gases that interact with particulate matter, change the ambient air quality to become polluted, leading to increased attacks of respiratory diseases (9)(10)(11).…”

Introduction: Coal-fired power plants contribute to air pollution emissions of nearly one-third of global SO2 , 14 % of NOx , and 5 % of PM2.5. This condition could worsen adults’ respiratory health who live close to power plants; WHO estimates that COPD and LRTI cause around 18% of premature deaths related to outdoor air pollution. This literature review aims to conduct a systematic review of the health impacts of coal-fired power plant emissions on adults’ respiratory systems and explore what risk factors lead to decreased lung status. Also, to answer how risk factors influence decreased lung function in adults’ respiratory system from coal-fired power plants’ emissions. Discussion: This study used a literature study method using an online database to of various research data sources with the same topic. The searching of articles was performed based on the inclusion criteria. From an initial collection of 468 articles, after screening and considering its feasibility, four articles were obtained to serve as material for the final systematic review. The literature review showed that there had been a change in lung function of respiratory system of adults due to long-term exposure to emissions from coal-fired power plants. Factors that influence decreased lung function in adults were NOx and SO2 exposure levels, residence distance, wind direction, age, and smoking status. Conclusion: Future research should focus on improving models for assessing exposure to NOx , SO2 , PM10 and PM2.5, considering age and smoking habits in evaluating lung function.

“…Meteorology that has a big influence on changes in pollutant concentrations is wind speed. Pollution spread in an area is inseparable from the influence of strong wind speeds (Cichowicz et al, 2020). In addition to wind speed, mixing height also affects the dispersion of pollutants.…”

The imbalance number of rapid vehicles with transportation facilities has become the problem. In Denpasar, Indonesia, the congestion during peak hours happens so often. Based on the department of transportation in Denpasar, Indonesia, the number of vehicle ownership in Bali is 4.1 million in condition with a ratio of one resident to one vehicle with the current population of Bali Province approximately 4.2 million. Our study aim to measure the air chemical parameters of CO, O3, SO2, NO2 and the physical parameters of the noise level. The research population is the atmosphere environment in the Denpasar City area. The research sample points were taken in the city center and the outskirts of Denpasar, with a total of 27 sample points. We employed impinge to get the airborne chemical gases and it is all analyzed with a spectrophotometer. We used a sound level meter to measure the ambient noise level. The data analysis was performed with free sample t test. The average ambient air chemistry obtained CO 517.34 µgr/Nm3, O3 0.17 µgr/Nm3, SO2 61.46 µgr/Nm3 and NO2 2.51 µgr/Nm3 and an average noise level 67.66 dBA. The number has found below the requirements Environmental Quality Standards and Environmental Damage Standard Criteria by Bali Governor. There is a difference in the mean parameters of CO, SO2, NO2 and ambient noise level in the downtown area. The average CO is 757.15 µgr/Nm3, SO2 67.60 µgr/Nm3, NO2 3.77 µgr/Nm3 and the noise level is 68.53 dBA with Denpasar outskirts mean CO 217.57 µgr/Nm3, SO2 53.79 µgr/Nm3, NO2 0.95 µgr/Nm3 and noise level 66.57 dBA. There is no difference in the average ambient O3 in the city center area with an average of 0.22 µgr/Nm3 with the outskirts of Denpasar an average of 0.11 µgr/Nm3.

“…High concentrations of pollutants generated by human activity occur especially in industrial areas and cities, as well as in other spaces such as agricultural or recreational areas. These pollutants directly and indirectly affect the air quality not only around the source of the pollution, but also in the surrounding area [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The main pollutants according to criteria established for the protection of human health and plant protection are particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, and increasingly PM1.0) and gaseous pollutants such as benzene, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, and benzo (a) pyrene in PM10 dust, as well as hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) [8][9][10].…”

Spatial analysis of the distribution of particulate matter PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas pollution was performed in the area around a university library building. The reasons for the subject matter were reports related to the perceptible odor characteristic of hydrogen sulfide and a general poor assessment of air quality by employees and students. Due to the area of analysis, it was decided to perform measurements at two heights, 10 m and 20 m above ground level, using measuring equipment attached to a DJI Matrice 600 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The aim of the measurements was air quality assessment and investigate the convergence of the theory of air flow around the building with the spatial distribution of air pollutants. Considerable differences of up to 63% were observed in the concentrations of pollutants measured around the building, especially between opposite sides, depending on the direction of the wind. To explain these differences, the theory of aerodynamics was applied to visualize the probable airflow in the direction of the wind. A strong convergence was observed between the aerodynamic model and the spatial distribution of pollutants. This was evidenced by the high concentrations of dust in the areas of strong turbulence at the edges of the building and on the leeward side. The accumulation of pollutants was also clearly noticeable in these locations. A high concentration of H2S was recorded around the library building on the side of the car park. On the other hand, the air turbulence around the building dispersed the gas pollution, causing the concentration of H2S to drop on the leeward side. It was confirmed that in some analyzed areas the permissible concentration of H2S was exceeded.
