ABSTRACT
The study aims to analyze the diurnal variation of the concentration of ozone (O3) and its precursors, carbon
monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in ambient air, as well as its relationship with the temperature, solar radiation
and traffic characteristics on the roadside area in Padang city. The sampling of O3 and its precursorswere carried out on
three locations on roadside areas, which is classified according to its function, Ganting Road representing local roads,
Bagindo Aziz Chan Road representing collector roads and Khatib Sulaiman Road representing arterial roads. The result
showed the highest concentrations measured on the Khatib Sulaiman Road with the highest O3 concentrations occurred at
13:00 to 14:00, while the highest concentration of CO and NO2 occurred at 17:00 to 18:00. The increase of solar radiation
and the surface temperature is directly proportional to increasing concentrations of O3 and inversely proportional to the
concentration of CO and NO2. The increase of volume and traffic density is directly proportional to increasing
concentrations of O3, CO and NO2, while traffic speed is inversely proportional to the concentration of O3, CO and NO2.
However, the relationship between the traffic speed and NO2 concentrations tends to be weak and insignificant.
Keywords: roadside, diurnal variation, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide.
INTRODUCTION
Transportation is very valuable and necessary to
support the progress of the major cities in the world, on
the other hand the increasing growth rate of transportation
will make negative effects such as increased air pollution
(Wang et al., 2017). The contribution of motor vehicle
exhausting emissions as a source of air pollution is very
significant (Yang et al., 2011; Cui et al., 2015). The
growth rate of motor vehicles in Indonesia has reached
more than 10% per year, this condition is followed by the
growth rate of the street which is not comparable, only 2%
per year. It is the dominant factor that caused the increase
of air pollution by motor vehicle, thus further aggravate
the condition of the air in various cities in Indonesia.
The amount of air pollution contributed from
transportation will also disrupt the gas composition
balance in the atmosphere, especially the increase in the
concentration of ozone in the troposphere. This is caused
by the motor vehicles that emit gases such as nitrogen
oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO), which acts as a
gas-forming ozone (ozone precursors) on the surface
(Tiwary et al., 2015).
Ozone is a triatomic molecule composed of three
oxygen molecules and are more unstable when compared
with oxygen. Ozone in the Earth's atmosphere is spread in
two layers, stratosphere and troposphere. Ozone in the
stratosphere has a role to restrain ultraviolet (UV)
radiation. While ozone in the troposphere (surface ozone)
is a secondary pollutant formed by the photochemical
reaction of its precursors with the help of sunlight. Surface
ozone is a primary pollutant in smog (smoke and fog) and
a strong photochemical oxidant which cause various health
problems to humans and plants. Surface ozone is also
associated with the climate change or global warming, that
is because surface ozone is included in the category of
greenhouse gases (Mbuyi, 2001).
One of the ozone precursor is nitrogen oxides
(NOx). NOx is a group of gas contained in the atmosphere
that consists of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen
dioxide (NO2). In ambient air, NO can be oxidized (NO2)
which are toxic. Research shows that NO2 gases are four
times more toxic than NO. NO2 can irritate the nose and
throat, especially the people with asthma and increase
susceptibility to respiratory infections (Weichenthalet al.,
2015).
Besides NO2, carbon monoxide (CO) is also an
ozone precursor in the surface (He et al., 2017). Central
Bureau of Statistics of Padang City (2015) noted the
number of vehicles in Padang city amounted to 427,235
units in 2014. The large number of these vehicles will
affect the increasing the number of pollutants, especially
CO (Bachtiar et al., 2016a) and NO2 (Bachtiar et al., 2017)
which emitted into the air from vehicle exhaust, it is also
characterized by rising concentrations of ozone (O3).
Based on the influence and impact and also the increasing
the amount of pollutants in the air due to transportation
activities, especially in the roadside area, then the
measurement of O3, CO and NO2 concentrations in
ambient air becomes very important.
Research on determining the concentration of O3
in Padang City has been done by Bachtiar et al. (2015) but
in the research O3 concentration monitoring was only

performed for an hour at each sampling point locations
and not concentrated on the roadside area. Based on this
research, further studies are needed to determine the
concentration of O3 in the roadside area.In this study,
besides monitoring O3, monitoring of ozone precursors is
also performed. However, in this study ozone precursors
which only monitored CO and NO2, because the source of
the gas ozone precursors produced is due to the activity
motor vehicles were only CO and NO2. In addition, at the
roadside area the source of other pollutants which can emit
gases ozone precursors such as CH4 and VOCs could not
be found.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Sampling locations were set at the three-point
which differentiated by the classification of roads
according to its function, namely local road, collector road
and arterial road. Based on its condition, the road that can
be used as the location of sampling is Ganting Road
representing local road, Bagindo Aziz Chan Road
representing collector road and Khatib Sulaiman Road
representing arterial road. Monitoring was conducted
every hour for 24 hours in order to get the diurnal
variation of O3 concentrations and gas precursors.
Meteorological measurements performed every15
minutes during the sampling. Meteorological conditions
measured at each sampling is temperature (oC), air
pressure (mmHg) and relative humidity (RH) were
measured using digital pocket weatherman, solar radiation
is measured using a lux meter, wind direction indicated
using a compass and wind speed is measured using
anemometer. Gas sampling O3, CO and NO2 in ambient air
sampling conducted by the active method using a gas
sampler ambient (impinger).Traffic characteristics
measured were the number of vehicles, traffic volume, and
traffic speed and traffic density. The traffic speeds is
measured using radar speed gun meter.
Statistical analysis was conducted to determine
the relationship between O3 and its percursors, such as
regression analysis, coefficientof correlation, coefficient of
determination and analysis varians (anova).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Comparison of the number of vehicles in each
research location can be seen in Figure-1.
Figure-1. Comparison of number vehicles on research location.
The measurement results show that the highest
number of vehicles on the Khatib Sulaiman Road, then on
Bagindo Aziz Chan Road and the lowest on Ganting Road.
The high number of vehicles on the Khatib Sulaiman Road
and Bagindo Aziz Chan Road caused by the number of
activities, such as offices, shopping centre and educations
around the road. MeanwhileGanting Road is just a
residential area.
There are three main variables needed to explain
the characteristics of traffic. It is traffic volume, traffic
speed and traffic density.Traffic volumes in the three
research location in the daytime was higher than in the
evening, with the pattern of traffic volume fluctuation tends
to similar. The pattern of fluctuations in the volume of
traffic generally increases to twice the volume; it can be
seen in Figure-2.

Figure-2. Comparison of traffic volume on research location.
On the morning there was an increase in traffic
volume from 04.00 until 08.00. The peak hours on the
morning occurred at 07.00-08:00. The increased volume of
traffic re-occurred around 12:00 until 18:00, with the peak
hours occurred at 16.00-18.00.The measurement results
showed that Khatib Sulaiman Road has the highest traffic
speeds average compared to the other two locations. This is
due to the street is wider and the side friction is low, so that
the vehicle passing this street have more space than
Bagindo Aziz Chan Road which have high side friction and
Ganting Road which has smaller width and the many
settlements which causes the driver tends to reduce the
speed of their vehicle. The comparison of the speed of
traffic on the three research locations can be seen in Figure
3.The pattern of traffic density fluctuations at three
research locations can be seen in Figure-4.
Comparison of diurnal variation of the
concentration of O3, CO and NO2 in each research location
can be seen in Figure-5. Based on Figure-5, O3, CO and
NO2 concentration measurement results in the three
research location are still below the quality standard,
According to the Indonesian Government Regulation No.
41 of 1999, on Air Pollution Control, the ambient air
quality standard for an hour measurements for CO gas is
30,000 g / m3, NO2 of 400 g / m
3 and O3 is 235 g / m

Figure-4. Comparison of traffic density on research location.
Based on Figure-5, the pattern of diurnal variation
of CO and NO2 tend to be higher in the morning and
evening, this is due to the high activity of the use of
vehicles in these hours. While diurnal variation of O3
surface tends to be higher in the daytime than in the
evening, because in the daytime the process formation of
O3 involves ozone precursor, it is also resulting in lower
concentrations of CO and NO2 in the daytime. However,
O3 concentrations can still be measured despite of the
absence of solar radiation in the evening. According to
Xiao et al. (2017) the decrease in surface temperature
causes the density of the air at the surface is greater than
the air above the surface, it then causes the air drops which
followed the transport of ozone from the upper layer to the
surface.
The relations between O3, CO and NO2
concentrations with solar radiation in the three research
locations can be seen in Figure-6, Figure-7 and Figure-8.
Based on these figures, in the morning until noon,
photochemical production will increase along with the
increase of solar radiation, which causes an increase of O3
concentrations and decreased concentrations of ozone
precursors. While on the afternoon, photochemical
production process decreases followed by solar radiation,
which causes a decrease in the concentrations of
O3.According to Han et al. (2011), diurnal variation
patterns of O3 tend to be similar to the pattern of the solar
radiation, where the concentration of O3 will reach a
maximum point during 1-2 hours after the solar radiation
reaches its maximum point.The statistical test relationship
of O3, CO and NO2 concentration with the solar radiation
can be seen in Table-1.
Based on statistical test the relationship between
O3 concentration and the solar radiation in three research
locations has correlation values (r) which is positive, with
interpretation of relations is from strong to very strong
(Pudasainee et al., 2006; Tu et al., 2007; Kumar et al.,
2010, Tong et al., 2016). The positive correlation value
between the intensity the solar radiation and surface ozone
concentration means the increase in the intensity the solar
radiation also results in increased surface ozone. The
relationship between the concentration of CO and NO2 with
the solar radiation in three research locations show that the
correlation values (r) is negative, with the interpretation of
relations is strong enough to strong.
The solar radiation is more intense in the daytime
make the surface temperatures warmer (Bachtiar et al,
2014). During the day the surface ozone concentration is
very high due to higher surface temperatures. This
indicates that the air temperature cused by solar radiation
tends to create high ozone concentrations. It is also
resulting in the decrease in the concentration of ozone
precursors (Wang et al., 2017).
Statistical test relations of O3, CO and NO2
concentrations with temperature is shown in Table-2. The
relationship between the O3 concentration and the
temperature in three locations show that correlation values
(r) is positive, with the interpretation of relations is very
strong, while the relationship between the concentration of
CO and NO2 with the temperature in three locations show
that correlation values (r) is negative, the interpretation of
relations is strong.
Based on Sayegh et al. (2016) temperature is
inversely proportional to the concentration of pollutants
(CO and NO2), which means that the higher temperature,
the concentration of pollutants (CO and NO2) are getting
low. The decrease in the concentration due to the high air
temperature, air density at the surface will be lower than
above the surface. It causes convection flow occurs
upwards which brought the pollutants causing the
concentration of pollutants in the surface to be reduced.

The traffic volume is one of the characteristics of
traffic that can affect the pollutant concentration in the
ambient roadside (Bachtiar et al., 2016a; Bachtiar et al.,
2017.) Based on Figure-2 and Figure-5,it shows that the
concentration of CO and NO2 have the similar pattern with
the traffic volume, which increased traffic volume will be
followed by increasing concentrations of CO and NO2 and
vice versa. While concentrations of O3 has a different
pattern to the traffic volume, it is because of O3 is a
secondary pollutant which concentration changes every
hour and tend to be more affected by solar radiation and
surface temperatures. According to Ahammed et al., 2006,
O3 are influenced by meteorological parameters like wind
speed, wind direction, temperature and relative humidity.
Statistical test relations of O3, CO and NO2 with
tthe volume of traffic can be seen in Table-3. Based on
this table, relations between concentrations of O3, CO and
NO2 with the volume of traffic at three locations show that
correlation values (r) is positive, with interpretation of
relations quite diverse ranging from strong enough, strong
and very strong.

The increase in the growth rate of vehicles will
lower the average speed of vehicles on the highway.
Traffic speed will affect the amount emitted by the
vehicle. Statistical test relations of O3, CO and NO2
concentrations with the speed of traffic can be seen in
Table-4. Based on Table-4, relations of O3, CO and NO2
with the traffic speeds at the three locations show that
correlation values (r) is negative, with interpretation of
relations is quite diverse ranging from the weak, strong
enough, strong and very strong.

Based on Table-4, NO2 has a correlation value (r)
which is relatively weak. It shows that the effect of the
traffic speeds on variations in the concentration of NO2 in
the three research location is relatively small.The
relationship between the concentrations of O3, CO and
NO2 with traffic density, as well as the volume of traffic.
Traffic density is directly proportional to the concentration
of O3, CO and NO2, it is seen from Figures4 and 5.Based
on statistical test of relations between the concentrations
of O3, CO and NO2 with traffic density at three locations
show that correlation values (r) is positive, with the
interpretation of relations quite diverse ranging from
strong enough, strong and very strong. Relations of O3,
CO and NO2 concentrations with traffic density are shown
in Table-5.

CONCLUSIONS
Concentration of O3, CO and NO2 in the three
research location are still below the quality standard,
according to the National Quality Standard. Diurnal
variation pattern of O3 concentrations tend to start
increasing from morning until noon, then in the afternoon
until night decreased. While diurnal variation pattern of
concentration of ozone precursors, CO and NO2, increased
in the morning and evening, while in the daytime and
nighttime concentrations decreased.
The increase of solar radiation and the surface
temperature is directly proportional to the increasing of
concentrations of O3 and inversely proportional to the
concentration of ozone precursors (CO and NO2).
The increasingof volume and traffic density is in
line to increasing concentrations of O3, CO and NO2,
while the traffic speeds is inversely proportional to the
concentration of O3, CO and NO2.
