The research method used was purposive sampling, where Trembesi (Samanea Saman), Jabon (Neolamarckia Cadamba), and Acacia (Acacia Mangium) trees were used as samples. The result of dust absorption. Trembesi Tree (Samanea Saman) is 0.443 mg/cm2 - 0.649 mg/cm2 , Jabon Tree (Neolamarckia Cadamba) is 0.059 mg/cm2 - 0.072 mg/cm2 , Acacia Tree (Acacia Mangium) is 0.127 mg/cm2 - 0.130 mg/cm2 .
