Chemical composition of a mud volcano LUSI and the health risk involved based on the air quality index that occurred as a result of disastrous gas exploration drilling activities in Sidoarjo, Indonesia

LUSI (Lumpur“mud”-Sidoarjo) is the mud volcanic which was initiated by the failed gas drilling exploration activities carried out near an urban area. The evaluation of the LUSI mud volcanic emission and its dried mud effects on air pollution and human health was carried out from 2011 to 2012. The co...

The concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5), hazardous gases (H2S, SO2, NO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC): Including total hydrocarbons (THC)), toluene (C6H5CH3) and benzene (C6H6) as well as heavy metals (Pb, Cr and Cd) were measured following standard methods. The results showed that the average concentration of PM2.5 ranged from 24.0-399.9 μg/m3, H2S: 1.53-2.92 ppm; SO2: 0.021-1.321 ppm and NO2: 0.007-0.076 ppm.
