In order to get a very good and healthy environment, all of the pollutants including solid waste, liquid waste and emissions must be controlled. Each of the pollutants has dierent way in managing and controlling its existence and its eect. One of the ways in controlling the sources of pollutants is by measuring the pollutant and air quality regularly. This measurement is especially really useful in industrial sector which contributes much to the emission. The measurement can be done in several ways lie using portable emission measurement systems !"E#$% which measures pollutant from the fossil fuel from transportation. They actually can minimi&e the pollutants if they now what the sources of pollutants in their industrial processes are. 'urthermore, this measurement can be measured by government and some non(governmental organi&ations based on the requirement set by the government. This measurement has to ful)ll all of requirement in order to maesurethe safe environment for the society. One of the factors that in*uence the air quality is emissions. These emissions can be from the transportations, industrial sector, natural disaster, etc. This pollutant can diuse into the atmosphere and perform some chemical reactions which can result many ha&ardous compound such as +Ox and $O. -onsequently the air quality will be aected. Then all living beings and their environment will be aected at local and global levels. +ot to mention about the global warming which has been causing the depletion of o&one layer in the atmosphere, the animals, the vegetation and certainly the people who live on this earth. 'urthermore, the eects of this bad air quality caused by the emissions will give the eect on the economics and materials sector. The ha&e problem from the peat land and forest )re which happened in Indonesia is the appropriate example for showing that the bad air quality can aect all sectors in the society including education, economics and relationship with countries in the region. ecause of the signi)cance of good air quality, it must be monitored continuously. One of the ways to monitor the air quality is by designing and creating an air quality monitoring system design. These days there are many tools which can be used to monitor the air quality lie

electrochemical sensors and heated metal oxide sensors !/#O$%. These tools are used for low cost measurement of o&one. In addition, the society as the main actor which is aected by the air quality can have evaluation. This evaluation is indeed an important part in air quality management. This evaluation can be done by creating awareness. 'urthermore, the society has to be aware of the use of natural resources that they have used. Inappropriate use of natural resources such coal burning can damage the air quality and give bad health eect to the surrounding community. Then, the government through the parliament or #inistry of Environment can set the air quality goals and have some plans to execute it by creating some laws and regulations. This is what the government can do at its best. They made several standards !0ir "ollutant Index% by which the quality of the air can be determined whether it is safe, unhealthy, very unhealthy or ha&ardous. 'rom the laws set by the government, other regulations lie urban planning regulation will follow to reach its goals. 'or the development sector which its existence will have eect on its surrounding, the urban planning regulation must be abided to ensure the good air quality and safe environment. /owever, they must mae sure that the laws are executed well and the law enforcement is implemented to the whole society. 1hen the law or regulations are implemented fairly and well, it can regulate the industrial sector by obligating the industry to utili&e low level environmental materials used by the company to produce products. 'rom the product, the society can reali&e and thin whether the bene)ts that they receive are bigger compared to the ris or vice versa. This must be considered by the society in order that the pollution can be minimi&ed by creating awareness in the society.
