Motorcycles are commonly used for daily commuting among Indonesians due to the limited of available public transportation. During commuting, motorcycle riders are continuously exposed to traffic-related air pollution, particularly carbon monoxide (CO) emitted from vehicle combustion. However, CO exposure levels may vary depending on traffic conditions and travel locations. This study aims to analyze CO exposure experienced by motorcycle riders during urban commuting in Malang, Indonesia. We collected data from a mobile air quality monitoring system and conducted statistical analysis, temporal trend evaluation, peak detection, spatial mapping, events exposure, and Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU) classification. The analysis results show that most of the CO measurements fell within the Good air quality category with an average concentration of 3.03ppm. However, some limited measurements exceeded 10ppm, which indicated the presence of localized pollution sources along the route causing short-term high CO exposure to riders.
