Abstract
Jakarta city has serious air pollution problems which largely affected by transportation activities. In this paper, a comparative analysis of ambient roadside air pollution patterns in Jakarta city was conducted by using time series data at the existing roadside monitoring stations in 2003. The complex cause-effect relationships between meteorology and pollutants, thus, differ from one season to another. This paper attempts to apply structural equation models with latent variables, which represents the above-mentioned cause-effect relationships. The effectiveness of the established models is empirically confirmed that the goodness-of-fit indices are 0.783 for the weekday wet, 0.845 for the weekday dry, 0.775 for the weekend wet, and 0.822 for the weekend dry. The models give us a better way to analyze urban air pollution due to the results of the significant interactions among meteorological factors, wind and primary pollutants, and also their different influences on surface ozone for each season.
