Abstract

The cement industry is one of the sectors that produces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to its raw material processing and energy requirements. CO2, as a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, contributes to global warming, leading to environmental, health, and economic losses. To address these issues, Indonesia is committed to reducing GHG emissions in the industrial sector by 2050. To effectively plan for the reduction of GHG emissions generated by companies, this study aims to quantify emissions from a cement company, representing the cement industry in Indonesia, to understand the current state of the company's carbon footprint and identify feasible mitigation measures. The cement industry utilizes a GHG quantification system to calculate emissions from raw material processing, thermal energy consumption, and electricity purchases. The calculation results from a cement company are used for system dynamics modeling with Vensim PLE software for the period from 2021 to 2050, under business-as-usual (BAU) conditions with various emission reduction strategies. The results show that GHG emissions under BAU conditions with emission reduction strategies do not achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. More intensive adoption of decarbonization technologies, research on process optimization, and government policies such as carbon taxes and carbon trading are required to achieve carbon neutral goals.

Abstract

Communal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been established in the Province of Aceh, mostly in Banda Aceh City as the capital and other parts of the province, to address significant environmental risks posed by wastewater originating from domestic activities. However, limited coverage, poor effluent quality, and insufficient community involvement persist. This research assesses public participation and willingness to engage in wastewater management practices. A quantitative survey was conducted with 148 Banda Aceh and Aceh Barat respondents, selected through multi-stage random sampling. The first stage in respondent selection is based on area. Banda Aceh City, the provincial capital, was chosen as the initial location for the respondents’ residence, followed by Meulaboh as the regency capital. The second stage involves respondents who have household businesses (which generate domestic waste, in this case, owners of laundry and vehicle washing businesses) and those who do not have businesses. The survey explored respondents' perceptions of environmental pollution, awareness of wastewater regulations, and their readiness to participate in management efforts. The findings reveal that 77.7% of respondents are willing to join in wastewater management initiatives, with 52.21% expressing a willingness to attend community meetings and 18.14% agreeing to pay fees for communal WWTP services. Key factors influencing participation include awareness of environmental issues, positive perceptions of communal WWTPs, and the belief that the government should provide wastewater treatment infrastructure. The study concludes that increasing public awareness and involving communities in policy formulation is crucial for improving wastewater management in Aceh. These insights can guide local governments in developing effective regulations and fostering sustainable community engagement in environmental protection efforts, potentially leading to a healthier and more sustainable environment for the people of Aceh.

Abstract

Groundwater in DKI Jakarta is subject to microbiological contamination. Approximately 32% of the population in DKI Jakarta relies on groundwater as an alternative source of clean water, highlighting the urgent need to address and prevent contamination. This study aims to investigate the effect of the separation distance between septic tanks and wells on the levels of Total coliform (TC), Escherichia coli (EC), and organic parameter contamination in shallow groundwater. Groundwater quality data, including TC, EC, and organic parameters from 265 monitoring points in DKI Jakarta, was obtained from the Jakarta Environment Agency in 2022. A quantitative descriptive approach, incorporating spatial mapping of bacterial and organic contamination using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, was employed. MANOVA analysis using SPSS 26 was conducted to determine the relationship between septic tank distances and shallow water contamination levels. Results indicate that the separation distance between septic tanks and wells significantly influences TC and EC contamination in Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta Timur, and Jakarta Barat. Organic contamination, however, is significantly affected only in Jakarta Pusat and Jakarta Timur. In contrast, Jakarta Utara was identified as the most contaminated region, with 84% of groundwater samples showing TC contamination, 55% exhibiting Escherichia coli (EC) contamination, and 69% affected by organic pollution. However, these contaminations were not proven to be influenced by the proximity of septic tanks. This is likely due to the area's coastal location, where hydrogeological conditions and diverse pollution sources play a more significant role in groundwater contamination. Improvements in sanitation infrastructure could significantly enhance groundwater quality, particularly in highly vulnerable areas such as Jakarta Utara.

Abstract

Peat water is water produced from decaying trees and plants that contain Fe metal with a high content of organic substances. Therefore, effective and efficient peat water treatment is needed to make it suitable for consumption. Bentonite is a natural source of adsorbent but has a fairly low adsorption activity, so bentonite needs to be activated to increase its adsorption ability. Thermal activation was chosen due to its environmentally friendly process and can increase the surface area and adsorption ability of bentonite. This study was conducted to see the effect of bentonite thermal activation with temperatures of 200, 300, 400 and 500˚C in reducing Fe metal content, organic matter, TDS and pH of peat water. The results show that thermal activation of bentonite can reduce the content of these compounds. Thermal activation of bentonite at 500˚C reduced Fe metal content with 66% efficiency and 0.08 mg/g adsorption capacity, 89.6% organic matter with 24,60 mg/g adsorption capacity and TDS 27 mg/l.

Abstract

The green economy is an economic concept that aims to improve welfare and social justice and reduce environmental risks. The purpose of this program is to measure the implementation of the green economy in Cimincrang Village, to control waste at the source, and the application of green technology, with local government partners and PKK (Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga/Family Welfare Empowerment) cadres, and the subjects are MSMEs (Micro and Small, and Medium Enterprises). The method used was environmental reevaluation, data obtained through observation, interviews, questionnaire distribution, and secondary data support. Programs carried out include: (1) education and communication, (2) community involvement, (3) incentive programs, and (4) policies and regulations. The results show that the understanding of PKK cadres as guardians of the commitment to behavior change was better than MSMEs. Initial conditions show that MSMEs' understanding of waste management and the green economy is in good condition, and has increased to very good. Indicators that are still needed to be improved include: (1) sorting waste is an easy job, (2) owning loseda, (3) bringing bags/tumblers/food boxes when shopping, (4) reminding others to sort waste, (5) green economy can improve the quality of life, (6) reducing single-use plastic packaging, (7) awareness that we borrow the environment from the next generation, (8) community awareness to protect the environment. Changes in the behavior of maggot house managers are supported through facilitation of the oven provision, training implementation, and motivational encouragement, in the form of sustainability measures, so that maggot houses obtain funds for development and improvement.

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

Food waste is a global hindrance to sustainable food systems. In Indonesia, a lot of food suitable for consumption is wasted annually. In 2023, Banyumas Regency was dominated by the most significant portion of food waste, with a daily volume of 541.80 tons. Food waste comes from hotels, restaurants, and trade sectors, such as food court areas. Therefore, this study aims to analyze factors influencing consumers' food waste behavior at food courts in Banyumas Regency. The method used was quantitative, with 410 respondents, and this research employed structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The factors influencing food waste generation include food choice, food literacy, social influence and normative behavior, food ordering routine, intention to reduce food waste, and food waste behavior. The results show that food choice and food literacy have a significant relationship with intention to reduce food waste (IR), and IR has a significant relationship with food waste behavior (FWB). The result also shows that IR mediates the relationship between Food choice (FC) and FWB, and IR mediates the relationship between food literacy (FL) and FWB. Food choice and literacy play a significant role in shaping the intention to reduce food waste. This contributes to the literature on avoiding food waste behavior by emphasizing the importance of cognitive (food knowledge) and affective (food preferences) influences on changing more sustainable consumption behavior. The food court manager can develop visual campaigns in the area, train consumers, and provide flexible food portions that suit customer needs to minimize food waste.

Abstract

Batik wastewater has a high organic and color content, requiring special treatment to meet environmental quality standards. This wastewater has an initial BOD5 of 605.405 mg/L, COD 714 mg/L, TSS 360 mg/L, and Pt-Co color of 992.2, far exceeding the quality standards. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) combination with rice husk geopolymer-based adsorption and Fenton oxidation post-treatment in removing pollutants from Sidoarjo batik wastewater. Variations in HRT, adsorbent mass, MBBR media type, and chemical ratio were the independent variables in this study. The results showed that the MBBR-adsorption treatment unit performed better than the MBBR without adsorption. The MBBR-adsorption unit with wood charcoal media, HRT 48 hours, and adsorbent mass 20 grams were the most optimal conditions for reducing COD and BOD5, with removal values of 93.6% and 95.8%, respectively. Meanwhile, the most optimal color and TSS removal was achieved with a 48-hour HRT MBBR adsorption, Kaldness K3 media, and 20 grams of adsorbent mass, with values of 90.3% and 94.4%, respectively. The addition of the Fenton process after the MBBR adsorption process increased the efficiency of TSS and color removal, with a FeSO₂:H₂O₂ ratio of 1:3, resulting in a 50% increase in TSS and 52.2% increase in color removal.

Abstract

Brackish water is a water resource that has the potential to be used as raw water, but has limitations due to high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the electrocoagulation method in reducing these pollutant parameters in brackish water samples from Subang Regency. The groundwater samples were taken in the area of the Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah Islamic Madrasa School. The research was conducted using a prototype electrocoagulation device with a pair of aluminum plates, varying voltages (10, 12, 14, and 15 volts), varying flow rates (0.06 L/second and 0.08 L/second), and conditions with and without a plate settler in the sedimentation unit. The results showed that increasing the voltage significantly reduced TDS levels. The highest efficiency was achieved at 10 volts with a flow rate of 0.06 L/second, reducing TDS from 3,400 mg/L to 3,110 mg/L (8.5%). Meanwhile, the lowest efficiency was achieved at 12 volts with a flow rate of 0.08 L/second, at 2.1%. Overall, this study confirms that electrocoagulation can be an alternative brackish water treatment technology in coastal areas. Although the TDS reduction efficiency is still limited, this method can be further developed as part of an integrated system to support sustainable clean water availability.

Abstract

This study evaluated the performance of the BLUD Drinking Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Cimahi to identify parameters exceeding national standards and assess design and operational adequacy. Raw water quality did not comply with PP No. 22/2021 for BOD (11.9 mg/L), COD (24.1 mg/L), detergent (0.426 mg/L), fecal coliform (4.27 × 10⁷ MPN/100 mL), total coliform (1.14 × 10⁶ MPN/100 mL), nitrite (0.093 mg/L), sulfate (0.328 mg/L), TSS (88 mg/L), and zinc (0.061 mg/L). Treated water failed Permenkes No. 2/2023 for color (22.5 TCU) and residual chlorine (0.16 mg/L), while negative removals were observed for fluoride, manganese, nitrite, TDS, and color. Evaluation revealed several design flaws: bar screen spacing of 25 mm and thickness of 10 mm (required 4–8 mm and 25–50 mm); coagulation with constant PAC dosing (18 mg/L) without jar testing; flocculation detention time of 22 min with constant velocity gradients (30.5 s⁻¹) instead of 30–45 min with decreasing gradients; sedimentation with detention time of 0.97 h and surface loading of 3.75 m³/m²·h (required 1.5–3 h and 3.8–7.5 m³/m²·h); filtration with backwash velocity of 41.86 m/h and duration of 5 min (required 46–50 m/h and 10–15 min); and disinfection with velocity gradient of 111 s⁻¹ (required ~500 s⁻¹). Revised designs included reducing bar spacing to 8 mm and thickness to 50 mm, implementing routine jar testing, extending flocculation detention to 30.1 min with step-down gradients (34–26 s⁻¹), deepening sedimentation basins to 6 m (detention 1.54 h, surface loading 3.87 m³/m²·h), increasing backwash velocity to 46.56 m/h for 10 min, and installing a static mixer (G = 1427 s⁻¹) for chlorine application. These improvements are expected to enhance removal efficiency, eliminate negative removals, and ensure compliance with Indonesian drinking water standards.
