Abstract

Air pollution is an increasingly pressing global issue that has serious impacts on health. The presence of microplastics has polluted almost all ecosystems on earth. Microplastics measuring less than 5 mm can enter the body through the digestive tract, respiration, or contact with the skin. The impacts that can be caused by microplastic pollution include digestive disorders, immune reactions, and accumulation of toxicity in the body which can cause long-term health problems. Some steps that can be taken to avoid microplastic pollution are replacing disposable containers with reusable containers, replacing disposable plastic bags with shopping bags, being careful in using cosmetic products that do not contain polyethylene and polypropylene.

Abstract

The negative impact of domestic waste water discharge is a decrease in water quality in the receiving water body due to reduced dissolved oxygen, which can result in the death of aquatic organisms. Increased concentrations of BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) in domestic waste can have a negative impact on the environment through a series of interrelated processes such as triggering the phenomenon of eutrophication, where algae growth becomes uncontrollable and disrupts the balance of aquatic ecosystems. When BOD and COD levels increase, it indicates an excessive accumulation of organic matter and pollutants in the water, resulting in a decrease in dissolved oxygen due to oxygen consumption by microorganisms that decompose the organic matter. Several previous studies related to the quality characteristics of domestic wastewater were analyzed to determine its quality in the parameters of BOD, COD, and TSS. As a result, most of the domestic wastewater quality has a quality that exceeds the required quality standards. The average quality of domestic wastewater in the parameters of BOD, COD, and TSS is 541.9 mg/L, 1318.4 mg/L, and 1986.8 mg/L, respectively. The BOD and COD ratio shows 0.4, domestic waste must go through the seeds to be decomposed.

Abstract

The presence of hazardous gas and particle emissions has a significant impact on human health. Therefore, a review is needed to analyze the impact of air pollution so that the public can be more aware of the importance of air pollution problems that occur around them. This review contains information related to the impact of air pollution collected from several previous studies that focus on air pollution and its impacts. The negative impacts on health caused by air pollution include lung disorders, heart disorders, immune system disorders, allergies, developmental disorders, cancer, and mental health disorders. The implementation of Environmental Tax, the use of corn cobs as activated carbon as an adsorbent, improving infrastructure and empowering mass transportation, and replacing BBM fuel with Hydrogen are some of the efforts that have been made to reduce air pollution due to gas emissions. In an effort to prevent the negative impacts of air pollution, consistency and commitment are needed from various sectors.

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

Wastewater produced by health facilities such as Community Health Centers has great potential to pollute the environment, especially due to the high levels of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and phosphate. Phytoremediation, using plants such as Eichhornia crassipes and pumice, is an efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical waste treatment method. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of Eichhornia crassipes and pumice plants in phytoremediation tests on community health center wastewater with BOD and phosphate parameters. This type of research is a true experimental using a One group pretest and posttest design. The sample in the study was Community Health Center wastewater with a sample size of 10 L. BOD and phosphate levels were measured on days 0, 3, 6, and 9 to determine the effectiveness of phytoremediation in reducing pollutant levels. The data analysis used univariate. The results showed that BOD levels decreased significantly from 21.08 mg/L on day 0 to 10.36 mg/L on day 9 with a decrease rate of 51%. In addition, phosphate levels also decreased from 0.95 mg/L to 0.28 mg/L with a decrease of 71% after 9 days of treatment. Phytoremediation using Eichhornia crassipes and pumice wood is effective in reducing BOD and phosphate levels in Puskesmas wastewater. Suggestions for further researchers are the development of time variations and combination methods, exploration of other plants, the influence of environmental factors, larger scale tests.
