One job of point of entry was prevention and surveillance of the spread of communicable disease through international travel which, poor working conditions create an atmosphere that affects the health of the employees. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to study on the situation of Indoor Air Quality in Health Quarantine Office, Health region 1, in 2016-2018 by indoor air quality meter and dust monitor. The methods used were a quantitative analysis of carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), Formaldehyde: (CH₂O), Temperature (^oC), Relative Humidity (%RH), and Total Suspended Particulate (TSP). Analysis was performed using descriptive statistics compared to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers standard. The results showed that the health quarantine office all 6 office of  the temperature tends to pass more standards, increasing from 50.0 % in 2016 to 78.9% and 95.9% in 2017- 2018, respectively and carbon dioxide tends to pass the standard decreasing.  Total particulate matter passed the standard 77.8%, 78.9% and 71.4% respectively, and carbon dioxide passed the standard 100.0%, 89.5% and 85.7% respectively. When considering   the standardization of each parameter, it was found that during the 3 year period, the least standardized parameter was. The relative humidity was only 74.4% and the temperature passed the standard 74.9%. Therefore, the department should be create good working environment for officers and passengers by using 4 solutions are the law, legal aspects, determining measures, management and preventive maintenance.
