Abstract

Background: The cement industry is one of the main contributors of pollutant gasses in the environment through stack emissions.Aim: This study aims to model the dispersion of SO2 and NO2 gasses and to determine the area of the dispersion by American Meteorological Society – Environmental Protection Agency Regulation Model or AERMOD has been utilized by PT. Semen Tonasa (Tonasa Cement, Ltd.).Methods: Meteorological data from AERMENT was collected from reanalysis of MM5 data. While topographical data was extracted from SRTM30 satellite data. The model was carried out for a year, to cover both the dry and rainy season.Results: The result of the modeling showed that the peak value of the concentration of SO2 and NO2 pollutants for one hour are 135 μg/m3 and 160 μg/m3 respectively (quality standards of SO2 and NO2 are 900 μg/Nm3 and 400 μg/Nm3). The area of dispersion tends to be in the eastern area, such as District Minasatene (Sub-district Bontoa, Kalabbirang, Minasatene dan Biraeng), District Bungoro (Sub-district Biringere, Sapanang, Mangilu, Bulu Tellue) and District Labakkang (Sub-district Taraweang). Key words: Spatial analysis, AERMOD, AERMOD, cement factory, exposed area, SO2 and NO2

Abstract

Background: Some internal factors have both positive and negative effects to people's health, especially those who live in a polluted area. The area around the cement industry is an example of polluted area in which the lung capacity will be harmed.Aim: This research aimed at finding out internal factors affecting lung capacity of people living in the area around the cement industry.Methods: This research used a cross sectional study plan by measuring lung capacity (FEV1 and FVC) of people living in four different locations. The locations were based on wind directions and within 3 km from the cement industry. The study plan was also done by connecting the measurement with other factors, such as age, physical activities, nutrition status and passive smoking or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).Results: Based on the calculation of lung capacity 241 respondents obtained 123 respondents (51%) had a normal lung capacity, 105 respondents (43.6%) had a restricted lung capacity, 4 respondents (1.7%) had an obstructed lung capacity and 9 respondents (3.7%) had a combination of a restricted and obstructed lung capacity. The age (p=0.977) and physical activities (p=0.087) of respondents had no effect on the lung capacity. However, nutrition status (p=0.011) and passive smoking or ETS (p=0.003) do.Conclusion: The nutrition status and the presence of a passive smoker were the internal factors affecting people's lung capacity, especially for those who live around the cement industry. Thus, in order to avoid the impairment of lung capacity, people need to improve their nutrition and to avoid people smoking around them.

Abstract

Backgrounds: A cement industry is one of anthropogenic sources of air pollution. In polluting the air, the industry creates some dust particles, nitrogen oxide (NO2), sulfur oxide (SO2), and carbon monoxide (CO).Research Purpose: The research aims at finding out the ambient air quality around a cement industry and relating it with the lung capacity of people living around the area.Methodology: This research uses cross sectional studies by measuring the ambient air quality in the morning, noon, and evening in four different settlements within 3 km from the cement industry. The measurement is then correlated with the FEV1 and FVC of lung capacity of people living around the area.Result: Of all four locations, three have ambient air quality (PM2.5 = 109.47 µg/Nm3, TSP = 454.7 µg/Nm3) that surpass the quality standard (PM2.5 = 65 µg/Nm3, TSP = 230 µg/Nm3). Of 241 respondents, the average level of FVC and FEV1 is respectively 1.9352 liter (SD: 0.45578) and 1.7486 liter (SD: 0.43874). Furthermore, the level of PM2.5 in the morning and at noon is respectively p=0.009 and p=0.003; the level of TSP in the morning and at noon is respectively p=0.003 and p=0.01; the level of NO2 in the morning is p=0.006; the level of SO2 in the morning, at noon and in the evening is respectively p=0.000, p=0.022, and p=0.000; and the level of CO in the morning, at noon and in the evening is respectively p=0.003, p=0.015, and p=0.024. Those levels are associated with the level of respondents' FEV1. Moreover, the level of TSP in the morning is p=0.024; the level of SO2 in the morning and in the evening is p=0.007. These levels relate to the level of respondents' FVC.Keywords: FVC, FEV1, CO, NO2, SO2, TSP, PM2.5, cement industry.

Abstract

The Wapulaka Formation in Central Buton, Indonesia, is a tectonically complex carbonate system characterized by heterogeneous lithologies, including limestones, dolostones, and marls. This study integrates Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to map the subsurface distribution and geochemical characteristics of limestone in the formation. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys were conducted along four profiles, covering a total length of 495 meters, with an electrode spacing of 5 meters to identify resistivity variations linked to lithological changes, fractures, and karst formations. The collected data were processed and inverted with Res2DInv software, applying topographic corrections to produce high-resolution 2D resistivity models. The limestone samples were examined with an Epsilon 4 XRF spectrometer to ascertain the elemental concentrations, particularly the CaO and MgO levels. Borehole data were used to validate ERT findings and provide a lithological perspective. The amalgamation of the ERT and XRF datasets demonstrate a robust correlation between resistivity and chemical composition. High-resistivity zones (>5000 ?m) are associated with significant, high-purity limestone characterized by elevated CaO and reduced MgO levels, while low-resistivity regions (<1000 ?m) signify eroded, porous, or clay-rich portions with increased MgO and diminished CaO content. The Mg/Ca ratio, obtained from XRF analysis, acts as an indicator of dolomitization, with higher ratios linked to decreased resistivity values. This technology facilitated the creation of a predictive model for limestone quality utilizing resistivity, enhancing resource assessments and selective mining efficacy. This study illustrates the efficacy of integrating geophysical and geochemical methods to delineate intricate carbonate systems, providing insights into subsurface heterogeneity, diagenetic processes, and resource availability.

Abstract

Galesong Beach, located in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, is a coastal area that has experienced significant shoreline changes due to anthropogenic activities, such as coastal development and land use, and oceanographic factors, particularly wave activity. This study aimed to analyze the magnitude and direction of wave-induced sediment transport and its influence on erosion and accretion rates along Galesong Beach. Wave height was calculated using the Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM) method based on wind data, while sediment transport volume was estimated using the Van Rijn method. Shoreline change rates were identified using Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI imagery from 2010 to 2023, analyzed with the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to determine annual erosion and accretion distances and rates. The study area was divided into seven zones, each with varying coastal dynamics. Results showed that monthly wave heights peaked in December, January, and February, ranging from 1.54 to 2.21 m. Sediment transport was estimated at 2,894.9 to 13,703.42 m³/year northward and 5,405.77 to 13,956.26 m³/year southward, resulting in both erosion and accretion. The maximum annual accretion rate reached 10.77 m/year, while the maximum erosion rate was 3.28 m/year. The furthest accretion reached 141.27 m, and the greatest erosion extended to -43.05 m. The highest accretion occurred in North Boddia, while the most severe erosion was found in Bontoloe. This study offers insights into local coastal dynamics and serves as a foundation for effective and sustainable coastal management strategies.
