Abstract

Illegal dumping represents a critical environmental and public health challenge in Indonesia, exacerbated by rapid urbanization, inadequate waste management infrastructure, and socio-cultural attitudes toward waste disposal. This study employs a descriptive literature review methodology to analyze illegal dumping trends over the past decade, synthesizing data from peer-reviewed articles, government reports, and case studies. Findings reveal the proliferation of unauthorized dumpsites, particularly in urban areas, alongside the increasing prevalence of plastic waste as a dominant component. Socio-economic factors such as poverty, limited access to formal waste management systems, and insufficient public awareness are identified as key drivers of this issue. Illegal dumping causes significant environmental degradation, including water contamination and ecosystem disruption, and poses substantial health risks through exposure to hazardous materials and vector-borne diseases. This research underscores the necessity for integrated interventions, highlighting the need for a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to effectively tackle illegal dumping. Specifically, this entails strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing enforcement mechanisms, promoting community engagement, leveraging technological innovations, and making substantial investments in the strategic development of waste management infrastructure.

Abstract

Pencemaran logam berat dapat menimbulkan pengaruh negatif terhadap lingkungan perairan terutama organisme yang hidup di dalamnya dan manusia yang mengonsumsi organisme tercemar. Logam Cu (Tembaga) merupakan logam esensial yang keberadaanya dalam jumlah tertentu sangat dibutuhkan oleh organisme hidup, namun dalam jumlah yang berlebihan akan menimbulkan efek racun. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengolahan dan analisis data secara kuantitatif deskriptif. Metode ini digunakan untuk menguraikan konsentrasi Cu (Tembaga) dan memproyeksikan sebaran Cu (Tembaga) pada Sungai Jeneberang. Hasil pengukuran yang memiliki konsentrasi tinggi terjadi pada titik yang letaknya paling dekat dengan muara karena merupakan daerah pertemuan antara sungai dan laut yang dimana hampir semua zat pencemar mengalir pada muara. Sedangkan dari hasil analisis dengan aplikasi MIKE 21 ECOLab memproyeksikan penyebaran Cu (Tembaga) berdasarkan angin, kecepatan arus, debit, kondisi fisik-kimia dan lain-lain.

Abstract

The Pampang River is a tributary of the Tallo River that plays an important role as a source of clean water, irrigation, and support for community activities in Makassar City and its surroundings. However, increased industrial and residential activities around the river have caused a decline in water quality. This study aims to determine the water quality conditions of the Pampang River and analyze the distribution pattern of pollutants using the QUAL2Kw application. The research method involved collecting water samples at several points, followed by analysis of water quality parameters, including Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), pH, Total Coliform, and E. Coli. The results of the study show that several water quality parameters still meet quality standards, such as TSS, pH, Total Coliform, and E. Coli. However, the DO, BOD, and COD parameters exceed the established quality standards, indicating a fairly high organic pollutant load in the Pampang River. Modeling results using QUAL2Kw show that water quality fluctuations are influenced by daily changes in conditions, such as temperature and sunlight intensity, which affect dissolved oxygen concentrations and the decomposition of organic matter. This study is expected to serve as a reference for the government and the community in their efforts to manage and control pollution in the Pampang River, as well as to support strategic planning to maintain the sustainability of water quality.
