Abstract

High levels of unhealthy Air Pollution Index (API) can severely impact human health and the environment. Thus, effective preparation for such risk events relies on precise estimation of unhealthy API levels. This study proposes the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) Method based on the Bayesian framework to obtain accurate estimation of API exceedance in Indonesia. This study will look at the capital city of provinces with the worst API as an effort to obtain great benefits if they succeed in cleaning the air effectively so that they can increase life expectancy. To produce the model, two parameters are determined in GDP, namely scale and frequency in each capital city for province in Indonesia that have a heavy tail. Unhealthy API are governed by the above the threshold u = 100. The data used in this study are data from IQAir in Indonesia and BMKG. Furthermore, the GDP parameters will be identified and the spatial and seasonal impacts. The results show that capital city of provinces that have unhealthy API for sensitive groups are Jambi, Palangkaraya and Banjarbaru. Besides, the capital city of provinces that have very unhealthy API is Palembang. The Generalized Pareto model shows that Palembang and Palangkaraya have a higher risk of experiencing unhealthy air conditions on a regular basis.
