STUDY ON CORRELATION BETWEEN MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION AND PUBLIC HEALTH

All DKI Jakarta area suffers from poor air quality, +70% caused by traffic
externalities or fumes. As what environmentalist considers that even more motor vehicles will
take to DKI Jakarta’s road, air pollution caused by existing vehicle emission is thought to
have already contributed to an increase in asthma and acute respiratory diseases.
Environmental Ministry of the Republic of Indonesia responded by setting the air quality
standard; particularly the BPLHD – Jakarta helps by assessing pollution at various stages of
dispersion in Jakarta. This study approved correlation between motor vehicle emission and its
impact on human health throughout DKI Jakarta by Product Moment Pearson Correlation and
descriptive analysis is approached by Gordon’s theory. The heavy rainfall could more
influence some air pollutant (PM10, CO, and NOx) concentrations, moreover, could influence
the correlation patterns between traffic congestion and maximum average of three pollutants
have different patterns in rainy season. Meanwhile, few parameters (PM10 and CO) in dry
season, which have correlation to traffic congestion, show the same patterns. Further
observation denotes that either in rainy season or dry season, the average of correlations
between air pollutant concentrations and the amount of few respiratory disease cases shows
similar patterns.
