Abstract
Background: The combustion process during tofu production in Tropodo Village, Krian, has generated exhaust gas in the air like NO2 and SO2 which is dangerous that can impact public health, especially for those who lived near the factory. This study aimed to determine the risks analysis of NO2 and SO2 exposure in five area tofu industry.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at five tofu industry in Krian, East Java. The data were collected from laboratory tests, observations, and interviews. Air sampling was carried out 10-meter from tofu industry. Air quality was measured to determine the pollution and analyzed using exposure assessment.
Results: NO2 and SO2 concentrations near tofu industry were below quality standard (5.62 \u03bcg/kg/day; RQ>1). People with weigh 55 kg and who lived near industry area with exposure NO2 and SO2 for 8 hours/day a year was unsafe or likely to have non-carcinogenic effects in the next 30 years.
Conclusion: NO2 and SO2 concentration near tofu industry still below quality standard that can causing health problems.
