ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the condition of air quality in the Trisakti Port area managed by PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Kalimantan Sub-Regional, with reference to the physical and chemical parameters of air according to Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2021. The analysis results showed that several air quality parameters, such as Total Suspended Solid (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) did not reach the predetermined quality standards. Assessment of air quality status is carried out using the Pollution Index Method based on the Ministry of Environment Decree Number 115 of 2003. Based on the results of the Pollution Index (IP) calculation, all sampling points show air quality status in the light pollution category. The highest IP values were recorded at the Banjarmasin Container Wharf at 3.13 in May and 4.12 in October with a light pollution category, but these are approaching the upper limit of the category. This finding indicates that the waters at this location are relatively more polluted compared to the other two locations, so it requires more intensive environmental management to preventing an increase in pollution levels.
