Comparative Perspective of Air Pollution from Heavy Vehicle NOx Emissions and Its Impact on Environmental Sustainability in Indonesia and Other Countries

Abstract

Heavy vehicle emissions have a significant impact on humans and the environment. The purpose of this study is to find out the best solution that can be applied in Indonesia to reduce pollutant levels in the air, especially levels of NOx gas emissions in big cities, where poor air quality emitted from transportation system vehicles that has an impact on air quality. Vehicles generally produce exhaust gas in the form of carbon but in some vehicles, especially heavy vehicles, NOx levels are also produced which is the result of the catalysis of NO2. The impact of these gases causes damage to the lungs and damage to plants. Comparative Insight method is used to get the best solution. The results of this article using NGC 0.2 technology will reduce almost 95% of NOx emissions and this solution is suitable to be applied in Indonesia.
