Air pollution, particularly PM2.5, significantly impacts public health in developing areas. This study evaluates PM2.5 exposure among residents and conducts a risk assessment within the human community Bantul Regency, Indonesia, utilizing high-volume air sampler (HVAS) over 24 h residential area interviewing 36 respondents. The findings of this show that concentrations varied from 50.7 to 61.9 μg/m³, exceeding national ambient quality standards (NAAQS) 35 μg/m³. hazard quotient (RQ) values were greater than 1, signifying considerable risk. Epidemiological statistical analysis indicates significant correlation (p-value < 0.05) between exposure, complaints, respondent characteristics. Residents report issues including cough, headache, eye irritation, breathlessness, wheezing. emphasize imperative for more rigorous regulations, enhanced awareness education regarding preventive practices, urban planning development strategies incorporating green infrastructure.
