Analisis Pengaruh Kadar Gas Co terhadap Kualitas Udara dalam Gedung Auditorium Universitas Sumatera Utara Medan

Abstract

The indoor air quality has significant impact to the human health. The air quality component comprises of CO content. If the level of CO content is high that indicates that the air quality is bad. In this research, the impact of CO content to the air quality was measured. The measurement was done on December 12th 2010 in carried out inside the building of the auditorium of the North Sumatera University Medan by using carbon analyzer at six sampling points. The parameters involved in this air quality measurement are velocity, temperature and humidity. The output from this research showed that the highest CO content was 10 ppm occurred at the sixth sampling point and the lowest CO content was 5 ppm occurred at second sampling point, the highest air velocity was 2,8 ms-1 occurred at fifth sampling point and the lowest air velocity was 0,6 ms-1 occurred at first sampling point, the highest temperature was 31,2o C occurred at the sixth sampling point and the lowest temperature was 27,4o C occurred at the first sampling point, and the highest humidity was 67,5% occurred at the first sampling point and the lowest humidity was 61,3% occurred at the sixth sampling point.
