Abstract

The high energy needs force the massive use of coal. PLTU as one of the largest energy-producing industries currently has a significant impact on the environment and social economy. One of the wastes from PLTU activities is fly ash and bottom ash (FABA). By taking a research study at the Tanjung Jati B PLTU one of the largest PLTUs in Indonesia, the authors try to see the impact of FABA waste on the environment and analyze the potential that can be utilized. The research approach used is quantitative by collecting data through literature studies. The results showed that FABA had a negative impact on the environment, especially when it was only left buried in landfills. On the other hand, FABA has the potential to improve the economy, especially for the people around the PLTU industry, including in the agricultural aspect. One of the benefits of FABA is for building construction purposes with a mixture of 20% to 35%. For agriculture, FABA is proven for soil enrichment on a small scale with a mixture of 35% to 50% and can increase the nutrients in the soil .

Abstract

PCB waste pollution from PLN (State Electricity Company) electrical activities is a serious problem that affects the environment and public health. This article discusses the sources and impacts of PCB waste pollution, as well as the steps that can be taken to address it. PCB waste originates from transformers, capacitors, and other electrical equipment used by PLN, and it can contaminate the soil, water, air, and surrounding living organisms. The consequences include ecosystem damage, disturbance of ecological balance, health risks, and even economic implications. To tackle this issue, effective waste management technologies such as retrofilling, thermal processes, and sodium processes need to be implemented. Additionally, strict waste management policies and regulations should be established, and public awareness of the dangers of PCB waste should be raised. By adopting these measures, we can mitigate the negative impacts of PCB waste pollution and work towards a cleaner and healthier environment.

Abstract

Work accidents are not just a single event but occur through a series of interrelated causes. The main source of accidents is the existence of unsafe actions that refer to worker behavior and unsafe conditions that refer to the work environment. The approach that can be used to prevent work accidents in the work environment is the implementation of the 5S standard through the Plan Do Check Action (PDCA) methodology. The implementation of 5S is carried out in stages and systematically starting from planning, implementation, checking, and continual improvement of each 5S element. Each of the five stages is important and should be taken seriously and handled separately and sequentially. The initial three stages are operational; the fourth phase preserves the state established in the first three phases; and the fifth phase aids in our efforts to improve things continuously. Improved working conditions and an accident-free workplace can result from a better understanding of the 5S idea and how it relates to the safety management system. This will increase employee satisfaction in industrial organizations.

Abstract

Polluted waters generally contain materials harmful to human health, factory waste, metal waste, community waste can pollute these waters. Although polluted, there are some organisms that are able to survive in such conditions, such as catfish. The purpose of this article is to determine the diversity in aquatic ecosystems polluted by textile waste through bioindicators in the form of fish. The result of this study was the discovery of 3 species of fish that are able to adapt to polluted waters, namely Clarias batrachus, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, and Fundulus Grandis. The method used is in the form of a literature study on topics relevant to the purpose of this article. The results show that polluted water conditions can affect diversity in aquatic ecosystems, evidenced by the development of invasive species and the reduction of native species in a freshwater ecosystem. Species that are able to survive in polluted water conditions may contain harmful substances such as heavy metals and should not be consumed by humans.

Abstract

Water is the most important substance needed by living things apart from air. Long droughts have serious impacts on society and the environment resulting in a lack of clean water supply, both in terms of quality and quantity. The purpose of the article is to contribute to a better understanding of overcoming the clean water crisis by utilizing artificial rain. The method of writing this article is a literature study on several journals and previous articles to obtain data and information to review experiences that have been successfully carried out in previous studies. The parameters used are pH, DHL, Sulfate, and Ca. Based on the study data, the pH is 6-8 which is still safe for drinking water consumption and fisheries, the DHL parameter is not recommended for drinking water consumption because it contains electric charge and is not recommended for agriculture and fisheries because it has high DHL levels. Sulfate is considered safe because it has low levels. In general, the presence of sulfate does not have a significant impact on health because the nature of sulfate ions is quite stable and does not react easily.   Both high and low Ca levels are still considered unsafe. Only pH and Sulfate levels are classified as safe for agriculture, fisheries, and as drinking water.

Abstract

Cikapundung river, a tributary of the heavily polluted Citarum River, faces significant contamination due to human activities, particularly those near its vicinity. Without community awareness to preserve the river's ecosystem, its water quality deteriorates. This study aims to analyze the correlation between household waste generated by nearby residents and the pollution of Cikapundung river near Wastukencana Street. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method, the research involved observation, surveys, and direct interviews with local residents. Samples were selected using purposive sampling based on specific considerations related to the research objectives. Observations revealed both organic and inorganic waste in the river, leading to sedimentation. Additionally, numerous riverside structures were found filled with garbage, indicating a high density of construction. Interviews highlighted that residents refrain from using the river water for daily activities due to its poor quality, colored and contaminated with chemicals and waste. The majority rely on piped water from the water utility (PDAM), with many lacking septic tanks, leading household wastewater to directly flow into Cikapundung river. Consequently, household waste significantly contributes to the river's pollution, exacerbated by a lack of public awareness, knowledge about waste management, and governmental attention to environmental preservation.

Abstract

Background: Small-Scale Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM), locally known as "galamsey," has emerged as a pervasive issue in Ghana characterized with environmental degradation, land and water resource depletion, health hazards for miners, social and economic impacts. This comprehensive review explores the ecological and health effects of galamsey operations across different regions of the country. Methods: The study employs a systematic analysis method to examine the available literature from 2000 to 2023. Various academic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, JSTOR, and relevant government publications, were searched to gather relevant information. Findings: The review reveals that galamsey has had significant ecological consequences, including deforestation, habitat destruction, water pollution, and soil degradation, which have adversely affected Ghana's natural beauty. Moreover, the study highlights the physiological health issues faced by galamsey miners, such as accidents, physical strain, mental strain, kidney problems, respiratory disorders, and metabolic diseases. The presence of elevated levels of mercury, cyanide, arsenic, and cadmium in both the environment and the human body are directly linked to ASGM in Ghana. About seventy percent (70%) of the houses in ASGM community relied on surface water, and all of the homes utilized the fields or bush as their main toilet. Conclusion: Implementing remote sensing, geospatial technologies, promoting clean mining technologies, integrating environmental conservation, occupational safety and public health awareness are key technical and innovative measures to mitigate galamsey in Ghana. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes an integrated approach to address the impacts of galamsey, combining remote sensing and geospatial technologies with public health and environmental conservation programs. The model can provide a comprehensive understanding of the spatial and temporal impacts of ASGM and enable more targeted interventions.
