Abstract

River pollution in Indonesia is a serious problem that has a wide impact on public health. Rivers, as the main water source for many communities, are often polluted by human activities, such as industrial waste, domestic waste, and agriculture. Method: This study is a literature review. The database used in searching for this article is Google Scholar, 5 journals were obtained which were then analyzed for topic suitability, discussed based on criteria from variable similarities and differences. time span 2018-2021. Results: Diseases related to water pollution in communities living around polluted rivers often experience various health problems. Some common diseases include skin irritation such as itching and dermatitis, which are caused by direct contact with polluted river water. suffering from diarrhea is caused by consuming contaminated water or food. Diarrhea is one of the most common diseases, especially among children and cases of dysentery are also found. Conclusion: Diseases related to poor water quality include skin irritation such as dermatitis, which are caused by direct contact with polluted river water. suffering from diarrhea is caused by consuming contaminated water or food and cases of dysentery are also found.

Abstract

Pollution is a serious problem faced by Indonesia, where many water sources are contaminated by domestic, industrial and agricultural waste. These sources of pollution include fecal waste, household waste, and hazardous chemicals such as heavy metals and microplastics, requiring effective solutions to restore the quality of aquatic ecosystems. Several mechanisms that occur during the phytoremediation process in reducing contaminants in water include phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytovolatilization and rhizofiltration. The success of the phytoremediation process is influenced by plant characteristics, environmental conditions, and the nature of pollutants. The level of phytoremediation efficiency in reducing pollutants can be estimated using the percentage reduction formula. Observations on plant growth such as biomass weight, root length, and plant height are needed to evaluate plant health and symptoms of phytotoxicity that may arise due to contact with contaminants on plants. Laboratory analysis of spectroscopy or chromatography is needed to determine quantitative data on the accumulation of heavy metals or other hazardous substances.

Abstract

The dairy sector, a fundamental component of the global food ecosystem, has witnessed notable expansion due to technological innovations and shifting consumer preferences. Nonetheless, the management of dairy waste poses a significant challenge, with inadequate treatment resulting in severe environmental repercussions, including aquatic pollution, eutrophication, and ecological deterioration. This research examines the physicochemical characteristics of effluents from two dairies in Varanasi—Parag Industrial Dairy and Ganga Local Dairy. Parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), hardness, and nutrient concentrations were evaluated using standardized methodologies. The results indicated substantial deviations from prescribed standards, particularly for ammoniacal nitrogen, COD, BOD, as well as oil and grease concentrations, highlighting deficiencies in existing treatment protocols. The findings accentuate the necessity for enhanced effluent management strategies to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and promote sustainability. Additionally, this research underscores the potential applicability of treated effluent for agricultural use, warranting further investigation into optimal dilution ratios and microbial interactions to maintain ecological equilibrium and sustained productivity.
