Abstract

The research aims to show a simple, rapid, portable, and inexpensive analysis of an air quality measurer tool. In contrast to others, these three tools consisted by air quality measurer tool based on particulates, CO2 meters for measuring the quality of carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide meters as carbon monoxide quality measurer tool. The advantages of these three tools are being easy to use and used anywhere (portable). The total analysis costs less than 1,100 USD, while the price of air quality measurer tool that is commonly used by researchers can reach more than 6,000 USD. So, these three tools are worth to be used and effective as supporting media in developing countries. This research method used qualitative analysis by analyzing air quality using these three tools by focusing on functional water quality meters. The results of this study indicate that the use of portable tools makes it easier to retrieve air quality measurement data because it is more efficient in terms of cost and time. In conclusion, this study can be used as a reference information for further studies in examining air pollution. © 2019 University of Kuwait. All rights reserved.
