Abstract
Analysis of air quality during the period when the haze occurred in the West Sumatra region in October 2015 was carried out to determine the level of concentration of air quality parameters on public health at that time. The analysis was carried out using data measured at GAW Bukit Kototabang Station on the parameters PM10, CO and SO2, then the haze dispersion was analyzed using the Hysplit application and verified with the wind field pattern. From the results of the analysis of data parameters, it was found that the haze that occurred during this period was the worst haze in the last 5 years. Smoke haze has a direct effect on increasing concentrations of PM10 and CO gas, while on the SO2 parameter there is no indication of a significant influence. The haze that occurs in the West Sumatra region comes from hotspots in the provinces of South Sumatra and Riau which causes air quality to reach a "dangerous" level for health. This is shown in the PM10 parameters, while the CO and SO2 gas parameters are still in "good condition".
