Abstract

This research aims to study how human activities affect the biological oxygen demand (BOD) values in the Badeng River, Banyuwangi. These rivers are important resources that support household needs and economic activities in the surrounding area. The use of pesticides and agricultural fertilizers, as well as industrial and livestock waste, and the disposal of domestic waste, are suspected to contribute to the increase in BOD levels, indicating a decline in water quality. The research measures BOD values through laboratory analysis using iodometric titration. To examine the impact of human activities on water quality, water samples were taken from the upstream and downstream sections of the river. The research results show that the BOD value in the downstream section is higher (1.49 mg/L) compared to the upstream section (1.29 mg/L), but both are still below the threshold of class II water quality standards (3 mg/L). This indicates that the increase in BOD values downstream of the river is influenced by human activities. Therefore, better management of human activities is necessary to maintain the sustainability of the ecosystem and the quality of the river water.

Abstract

Kalilo River is one of the main rivers that flows through densely populated areas in Banyuwangi District. Various community activities such as bathing, washing, waste disposal, and defecation directly into the river have contributed to the decline in water quality. These conditions increase the potential for microbiological contamination, particularly the presence of pathogenic bacteria that can harm public health. This study aims to identify pathogenic bacterial species present in the Kalilo River as indicators of pollution. Water samples were collected from a single location and tested at the Regional Health Laboratory using NA, SSA, and EMB media. Gram staining was conducted to observe bacterial morphology. The results revealed the presence of two pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli and Shigella sp., indicating fecal contamination. These findings suggest a significant health risk if the water is used without treatment. Proper domestic waste management and community environmental education are needed to address this issue.

Abstract

The Kalilo River in Banyuwangi plays a vital role in supporting ecosystems and community activities but faces ecological pressures due to human activities. This study aims to analyze the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels at the upstream and downstream sections of the Kalilo River and their impact on the ecosystem. The research was conducted in December 2024 using standard BOD testing methods through a quantitative and qualitative approach. Water samples were collected from Grogol Village (upstream) and Kampung Ujung Neighborhood (downstream) and tested at the Environmental Laboratory of Banyuwangi Environmental Agency. Results showed that BOD levels were 0.32 mg/L upstream and 1.33 mg/L downstream. Although both sites met the class II water quality standards (≤ 3 mg/L) according to Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021, the higher BOD level downstream indicated organic pollution from domestic activities. The ecological impact includes reduced dissolved oxygen levels, potentially disrupting aquatic life. This study highlights the importance of waste management and continuous water quality monitoring to ensure the sustainability of the Kalilo River ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the levels of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) as an indicator of water quality in the upstream and downstream sections of the Bagong River, Banyuwangi, and to identify the factors influencing changes in BOD levels. Water samples were collected from two locations, namely Sungai Licin (upstream) and Sungai Bagong (downstream). BOD analysis was conducted at the Environmental Laboratory Unit of the Banyuwangi Environmental Agency using the Winkler titration method and five-day incubation. The results showed that the BOD level at the upstream location was 1.16 mg/L and at the downstream location was 0.92 mg/L, indicating relatively good water quality. Differences in BOD values between upstream and downstream are influenced by human activities, organic pollution, and environmental factors such as dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous water quality monitoring to protect the Bagong River ecosystem from further pollution.

Abstract

This research reveals the potential of the Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) as phytoremediation agents to reduce ammonia levels in the waters of fish cold storage factories in Muncar, Banyuwangi. The research method used an experimental approach with three treatments: without plants (control), the use of Water Lettuce, and Water Hyacinth, each with a biomass of 300 grams and a duration of 10 days. The results show that both plants are capable of significantly reducing ammonia levels, with the highest reduction in Water Hyacinth (94.95%) compared to Water Lettuce (88.10%) and the control (87%). The Water Hyacinth plant shows better environmental adaptation capabilities, marked by the growth of new leaves, while the Water Lettuce plant experiences physical damage more quickly. This study confirms that the Water Hyacinth plant is more effective as a phytoremediation agent compared to the Water Lettuce plant, and can serve as an environmentally friendly solution for the management of industrial liquid waste, including cold storage water waste. These findings are expected to contribute to water management and support the environmental ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the density of coliform bacteria on aquatic plants at the Environmental Laboratory of the Banyuwangi Environmental Agency using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The sampled aquatic plants include Hydrilla verticilata (algae), Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce), and Cyperus papyrus (papyrus). The results indicate that the highest coliform bacteria density was found on Pistia stratiotes with a value of 200 MPN/g, while the lowest was on Cyperus papyrus with less than 180 MPN/g. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and lighting influence the presence and distribution of coliform bacteria around these aquatic plants. This research provides valuable insights into water quality management and the sustainability of aquatic plants within the ecosystem.

Abstract

Climate change and anthropogenic pressures threaten mangrove ecosystems, including in Pangpang Bay, Alas Purwo National Park. This study aims to analyze the mangrove vegetation profile in Kucur Resort, covering species diversity, density, zonation, and environmental parameters. The line transect plot method was applied across four stations (Mangrove Trail, Gendoh, Curah Wuluh, Pletesan), measuring vegetation structure (seedlings, saplings, trees), importance value index (IVI), and temperature, salinity, and pH. Results identified 11 true mangrove species from 7 families, dominated by Rhizophoraceae. Species such as Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora apiculata, and Ceriops tagal were widely distributed, while Bruguiera sexangula was only found in Gendoh. The highest density occurred in Mangrove Trail (2,554 trees/ha), with moderate Shannon-Wiener diversity (H'=1.57) and low evenness (E'=0.26–0.32). Classic zonation patterns were observed in three stations, driven by salinity and substrate gradients. These findings highlight the need for ecology-based conservation for sustainable management.

Abstract

Logam berat seperti timbal (Pb) dan kadmium (Cd) merupakan polutan berbahaya yang dapat mengganggu fungsi fisiologis organisme akuatik, termasuk ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respon fisiologis ikan nila terhadap paparan Pb(NO₃)₂ dan CdCl₂ pada konsentrasi 1 ppm selama 3 jam. Parameter yang diamati meliputi kecepatan respirasi, morfometrik saluran pencernaan, serta parameter hematologi seperti jumlah eritrosit, leukosit, dan kadar hemoglobin. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa paparan CdCl₂ memberikan efek toksik lebih kuat dibandingkan Pb(NO₃)₂, dengan penurunan signifikan pada jumlah eritrosit, kadar hemoglobin, dan kecepatan respirasi. Sementara itu, paparan Pb(NO₃)₂ juga menyebabkan penurunan hemoglobin dan eritrosit, serta perubahan warna organ pencernaan seperti empedu dan hati, namun efeknya tidak sebesar CdCl₂. Kedua logam berat meningkatkan jumlah leukosit sebagai respons imun terhadap stres oksidatif. Hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa logam berat, terutama Cd, dapat mengganggu sistem pernapasan, peredaran darah, dan fungsi pencernaan ikan nila.

Abstract

Tinea unguium is a type of superficial mycosis that attacks the nail plate as a result of dermatophyte infection. This study aimed to identify the fungal genera responsible for tinea unguium in the toenails of farmers in Baros Hamlet, Tirtohargo Village, Kretek District, Bantul Regency. Thirteen nail samples were examined microscopically with 20 % KOH and Lactophenol Cotton Blue preparations, and cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Three fungal genera were identified: Aspergillus (9 isolates), Penicillium (3 isolates) and Trichophyton (1 isolate). Hence, the dermatophyte causing tinea unguium in these farmers’ feet was Trichophyton sp. Microscopic observations revealed conidiophores, vesicles, phialides, and conidia consistent with the morphological characteristics of each genus. These results underscore the need for education on preventative measures, such as wearing appropriate footwear, maintaining foot hygiene, and increasing farmers’ awareness of the risk of fungal infection.
