Abstract
This has led to an increase in air pollution, which can cause serious environmental damage and health problems. To address this issue, the city has implemented an Integrated Air Quality Management (IAQM) program, which aims to control and prevent air contamination. The IAQM program has several main objectives, including updating the emission inventory, air quality monitoring, and air quality modeling. The emission inventory is a crucial component of the program, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the sources and amounts of air pollutants in the city. The emission inventory for Tangerang City was conducted for the year 2014, and it showed that the main sources of air pollutants were point sources, which include industrial sectors, and mobile sources, which include transportation activities. The pollutants studied were carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM10), and hydrocarbon (HC). The emission inventory was calculated using the emission factor method, which involves multiplying the activity data and emission factor for each pollutant. The activity data were collected from various sources, including the Statistics Centre Bureau, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the Environmental Agency. The results of the emission inventory showed that the emission load for each pollutant was dominated by point sources, except for CO, which was dominated by mobile sources. The industrial sector was the largest consumer of fuel, followed by the transportation sector. The IAQM program aims to reduce the emission load of air pollutants in the city by implementing effective policies and measures. The program also aims to improve the air quality in the city by monitoring and modeling the air quality and providing recommendations for reducing emissions. The city of Tangerang has a population of over 1.8 million people, and it is one of the most populous cities in Indonesia. The city has a high economic growth rate, with a large number of industries and vehicles on the road. This has led to an increase in air pollution, which can cause serious environmental damage and health problems. The IAQM
