Abstract
Number of vehicles moving in the city of Denpasar is quite dense and has the potential to produce
high carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) exhaust gases which can be fatal to human
health. The research objective is to analyze the level of air pollution in the city of Denpasar and
analyze the factors that cause pollution from motorized vehicles. To calculate the volume of traffic
using the application traffic counter on an android phone. The research method uses trend analysis
and multiple linear regression analysis. The growth of CO pollutants in the city of Denpasar
increased with a growth value of 0.88 to 3.25 per year so that in 2021 the level of CO is predicted
to be between 32.41% to 81.52%. Likewise, HC levels increase with a growth value of 0.85 - 1.59
per year so that in 2021 HC levels are predicted between 2,670 ppm to 24,383 ppm. The vehicles
age and engine combustion system have a strong correlation in producing CO and HC values;
while brand, engine capacity and mileage correlate very weak. The conclusion is that newer
vehicles and the latest combustion systems produce lower CO and HC levels.

1. Introduction
Various potential sectors in air pollution, one of the related sectors. Fuel for vehicles can remove
pollutants such as CO, NOx, SOx, dust, HC, and lead. In big cities, the contribution of motor
vehicle exhaust gas as a source of air pollution reaches 60-70%. While the contribution of exhaust
gases from the chimney industry that only takes 10-15%, is received from other sources of
combustion, for example from households, burning waste, forest fires, and others (Ratnani, 2008).
Mobile vehicles that become transportation means, in the context of air pollution are classified as
moving sources. With these characteristics, the spread of pollutants emitted from vehicle sources
