The Effectiveness of Cassava Peel (Manihot esculenta crantz) in Reducing Iron (Fe) Levels in Dug Well Water
No full textThis results in unsuitable water quality. A natural ingredient can be used to treat wastewater from cassava peel. This study aimed to ascertain the variation in iron (Fe) levels in dug well water before and after cassava peel treatment. This pure experimental research used a posttest-only control group design method. The research population consisted of water from a dug well in Sungai Tiung Village, Banjarbaru City, which contains high iron levels. The research sample was part of the dug-well water. The Kruskal-Wallis statistical test revealed a significant difference between treatments, prompting using the Mann-Whitney test. Further statistical tests yielded the asymptote value Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05, indicating significant differences between doses of 0 grams and 1 gram, 1.5 grams, 2 grams, 2.5 grams, and 3 grams; the dose of 1 gram and 2.5 grams and 3 grams; and the dose of 1.5 grams and 2.5 grams and 3 grams. The study concluded that using cassava peel for water treatment effectively reduces iron content. Further research is recommended to achieve iron levels by quality standards by varying the time of the coagulation-flocculation process and conducting a preliminary test to determine the optimal dose variation.This results in unsuitable water quality.

The Relationship of Noise Intensity and Hypertension in Communities Living Around Kendal Regency Railways
No full textRailway traffic contributes significantly to noise pollution in urban areas, adversely affecting human health. This study focuses on the impact of train noise on hypertension among residents living near the Kendal Regency railroad tracks. With 105 participants residing within 0–30 meters from the tracks, aged 25–64, the study utilized purposive sampling to select 50 individuals. The average noise intensity measured was 73.1975 dBA, exceeding the permissible limit of 70 dBA. While the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures indicated pre-hypertension, statistical analysis revealed a significant association between age and hypertension incidence (p = 0.042), with those over 40 facing a 4.5 times higher risk. However, no significant association was found between noise intensity and hypertension incidence (p = 0.292), systolic (p = 0.312), or diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.729). Additionally, factors such as distance from home, length of stay, rest, BMI, water consumption, and physical activity showed no significant association with hypertension incidence (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that while age is crucial in hypertension risk, noise intensity from railway traffic may not be a primary contributing factor. Further research is warranted to explore additional variables impacting hypertension in railway-adjacent communities.Railway traffic contributes significantly to noise pollution in urban areas, adversely affecting human health.

Green Road Vegetation CO2 Sequestration Potential on Transportation Co2 Emissions
No full textTransportation is one of the anthropogenic activities that emit CO2. Its existence is essential for human mobilization, which causes the need for mitigation and solutions that can support the continuity of activities while minimizing the impact of emissions. In this case, the green belt of Jalan Jagir Wonokromo contains a mixture of road protection and CO2-absorbing vegetation that can reduce emissions. For this reason, a study was conducted to determine the CO2 absorption potential of green belt vegetation to provide information and a reference for optimizing green open space. The research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method, which included measuring road ambient CO2 concentrations, calculating vehicle volume, measuring breast height diameter as a biomass component, and researching correcting CO2 absorption by vegetation. According to the research results, the average ambient concentration of CO2 on roads is 785 mg/m3. The transport CO2 concentration was calculated using a Tier II approach and yielded a value of 186.87 kg/hour, contributing 79% to the ambient CO2 concentration.Furthermore, a box model is used to analyze the concentration of CO2 that will be absorbed by vegetation, resulting in 103.47 tons per year. Meanwhile, the ability to absorb CO2 from vegetation is 152.74 tons/year after being corrected by a pilot-scale study that considers vegetation's age and physiological factors. All emissions on Jalan Jagir Wonokromo can still be absorbed by vegetation, but optimization needs to be done in the form of intensification, extensification, and mitigation.Transportation is one of the anthropogenic activities that emit CO2.
