Pendugaan Emisi CO2 dan Kebutuhan O2 Serta Daya Serap CO2 dan Penghasil O2 Pada Taman Kota dan Jalur Hijau di Kota Medan
Abstract: Carbondioxide (CO2)
produced by the fumes and industrial activities can harm humans if there are no
trees or urban forests that can absorb CO2 and emissions resulting from human activities.
Therefore, an effort to reduce air pollutants such as CO2 gas in urban areas,
especially the city of Medan is a way to build a green open space in the form
of urban forests. This study aimed to calculate the amount of CO2 emitted and
the amount of O2 required in Medan based emissions from motor vehicles, human
respiratory and industry and widely suspected optimal urban forest based on the
function of absorbing CO2 and producing O2. Estimation results indicate that the
total CO2 emissions in the city of Medan in 2014 amounted to 2,659,091.01 tons
while demand for O2 in Medan in 2014 amounted to 2,430,843.07 tons . So the
ability of the urban forest in theform of urban parks and green line in
absorbing CO2 14683.84 tons and the capability of producing O2 amounted to
5551.2 tons .
