Abstract

Waste management is an environmental issue that is very close to the community, but the problem of waste in tourism areas needs to be carried out more independently. Garbage at tourist attractions consists of packaging and food waste. Plastic packaging is often found in food and drinks, which makes it difficult for nature to break down. The pyrolysis method introduced to the management of the bamboo forest tourist area in Bekasi City can be used to process plastic waste so that plastic waste can be reduced and the amount of plastic waste in the landfill can also be reduced. Pyrolysis education can be an option for onsite waste processing, with the result being oil similar to kerosene.

Abstract

This study was to examine the concentrations of PM2.5 and associated heavy metals (Fe, Pb, Zn, and Cd) in the ambient air of a steel industrial zone in Cilegon, Indonesia. Cilegon is recognized as a major industrial hub; however, comprehensive assessments of PM2.5 pollution in such heavy industry contexts remain limited. Air samples were collected from four strategic locations surrounding PT Krakatau Steel using a Sequential PM Sampler, and meteorological data were simultaneously recorded. Gravimetric analysis was applied to determine PM2.5 mass, while heavy metals were quantified via Inductively Coupled Plasma–Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The results of the study indicate that the concentrations of PM2.5 and related heavy metals (Fe, Pb, Zn, and Cd) in the ambient air of steel industry areas often exceed the WHO guideline (25 µg/m³) and, in some instances, approached or surpassed the Indonesian national standard (65 µg/m³), with higher values typically observed during periods of active industrial operations. Among the metals analyzed, iron (Fe) was dominant, indicating a strong link to steel processing activities. Spearman's correlation revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between ambient temperature and PM2.5 concentrations, while no significant correlation was found for relative humidity. These findings highlight the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to fine particulate matter and toxic metals, underscoring the urgent need for targeted air quality management and worker protection strategies in industrial zones. The study contributes local-scale evidence for environmental governance and public health policy in rapidly industrializing regions.

Abstract

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that have been historically used in electrical equipment, such as transformers. Despite global bans, residual PCBs remain a concern due to legacy equipment found in developing countries. This study proposes to evaluate the presence of PCBs in six transformer oil samples. Samples of PCBs in six transformer oils were collected from transformers operated by Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company (PLN). The analysis was conducted using Gas Chromatography–Electron Capture Detection (GC-ECD) following US EPA Method 8082A. The results confirm that Aroclor 1254 is the predominant PCB congener, with concentrations varying from non-detectable levels to 20.35 ppm. According to Government Regulation No. 101/2014, two samples fall within the "not clearly defined" category (5–50 ppm), which requires monitoring, while the other four samples are classified as non-PCB oils (less than 5 ppm). None of the samples exceeded the 50-ppm threshold for hazardous waste; however, the mid-range contamination levels indicate environmental risks and regulatory gaps.
