<![CDATA[The bioethanol industry, as one of the renewable energy sectors, has the potential to impact ambient air quality due to production activities, operational processes, and vehicle mobilization. This study aims to evaluate the management and monitoring of ambient air quality based on TSP (Total Suspended Particulate), PM₁₀ (Particulate Matter 10 mm), and PM₂.₅ parameters in the bioethanol industry. A quantitative approach with descriptive analysis was applied through ambient air measurements at four monitoring points, namely the process area, the eastern boundary area near residential settlements, the village residential area, and the access road area. The monitoring results for Semester I and Semester II of 2025 showed that all PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ parameters were below the quality standards established in Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2021 Appendix VII. TSP concentrations also complied with the quality standards, although the highest values were found in the access road area and areas near residential settlements due to operational vehicle activities and road dust. In Semester II of 2025, particulate concentrations decreased at all monitoring points. These conditions indicate that environmental management efforts, such as the optimization of Green Open Space (RTH), maintenance of operational equipment, and periodic monitoring, have been sufficiently effective in maintaining ambient air quality around the bioethanol industry.]]>
