AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is the presence of one or more physical substance, chemical, or biological in the atmosphere in the amount that could endanger human health, animals and plants, disrupt the aesthetics and comfort, or property damage. Air pollutants are divided into two, namely primary pollutants and secondary pollutants. primary pollutants are contaminants directly arising from air pollution sources. [Carbon monoxide] is an example of a primary air pollutant because it is the result of arson. secondary pollutant pollutant is a substance formed from the reaction of primary pollutants in the atmosphere-polluting. Formation of [ozone] in [photochemical smog] is an example of secondary air pollution. The impact of air pollution on health is the most common respiratory infection (acute respiratory infection), including among others, asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory disorders. Some contaminants are categorized as toxic and carcinogenic.

prevention of air pollution are as follows :

1. Replant the urban forest for the government. Because of the existence of the urban forest will reduce pollution from motor vehicle fumes. With our urban forest can breathe clean air benar2 air pollution. 2. No smoking carelessly. Because it will make people who do not smoke affect the outcome of smoking people. I agree with the city government in providing a place for smokers.

Sample Picture Of Air Pollution

AIR POLLUTION IN PALEMBANG

PALEMBANG - Levels of air pollution in the city of Palembang increasingly apprehensive. It was revealed from the results of research conducted by a small German Technical Cities For Clean Air Project (GTZ). According to Project Director GTZ, Roland Haas, based on solid research vehicle at some point metropolis, there are an increasing number of dust particles exceeds the threshold of 60 u / m3. The German told the air quality studies have been conducted by the Environment Agency (BLH) and Kilkenny City Health Office (DHO), since last February, by taking samples at several locations, such as bridges, Terminal Kertapati, and Simpang Four Charitas. "As a result, dust particles of smoke produced in Palembang to 70 u/m3. In fact, ideally no more than 60 u / m3," said Roland. He explained, in addition to dust, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) exceeds the threshold. "Even when compared to Jakarta or other big city, Kilkenny is relatively low, this means that Kilkenny should start vigilant." In response, Palembang mayor Eddy Santana Putra claimed to be ready to do the reconstruction of transportation facilities. "Now we have started with the Trans-musi Then there. Also unmolorized region, and will continue to be developed," he explained.

Surabaya Very Bad Air Quality

JANUARY THURSDAY 22 2009

Air Quality in Surabaya city deteriorate. During 2008, there were five days of air quality in the East Java provincial capital is very bad. Head of the Environment Agency of Surabaya Togar Silaban said, declining air quality due to increase in the number of dust particles of air pollution. According to him, the increase is due to the increasing use of diesel fuel oil and gasoline type that releases a lot of gaseous hydrocarbons and CO2 into the air. Togar predict air quality in Surabaya in year 2009 will be far worse. Therefore, the number of vehicles expected to rise about 10% annually. "The presence of green open space, will help reduce air pollution. However, this time a green open space is much reduced," said Togar, Thursday (22 / 1). To reduce air pollution, Togar ask people to perform routine maintenance of vehicles owned. In addition, the Environment Agency of Surabaya will campaign for environmentally friendly fuels such as biodiesel and pertamax.

Air Pollution Exceeds The Limit In Bursts Lapindo

Jakarta - The condition of the region around Lumpur Lapindo assessed increasingly apprehensive. This proves the existence of air pollution (gas smell) which exceeds the tolerance limit, and the emergence of bubbles a lot. "The fire in early September 2010 it became the benchmark areas unsuitable for habitation. Conditions in Porong indeed very alarming," said Assistant Welfare mengahdiri Sekdaprov Edi Purwinarto after a plenary session, the Parliament Building in East Java, on Friday (17 / 9). The Provincial Government has also provided Team Feasibility Study of Settlements (TKKP). This team has been meeting with residents of West Siring, and east to accommodate the inspiration. Although TKKP declared unfit for human habitation area, and asked to empty houses, the compensation to victims should be given immediately. Compensation is to measure the value of homes, and land. He said he asks people not to seek compensation out of the ordinary. Some people do not request a replacement home, but ask for money. Because owning a house. So this will be a consideration, he said. With social-economic damages berarrti has provided hope for the future for the citizens. Do not allow new problems will arise for the people of post-discharge home, he said. Explained, East Java Provincial Government formed a team supervision and control of Lapindo mudflow victims in Nine RT, Siring Village, Sidoarjo, associated with the compensation plan of the Government. The team is to monitor the implementation of compensation if no agreement

is entered map affected villages, whether compensation has been provided as agreed, he said. Advisory Council Secretary BPLS has held meetings with representatives of seven residents of the nine RT to explain that the current Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources geologic research in the area. This study will be presented to the Board of Advisors do BPLS hearing to further determine the fate of the nine RT, whether it is included in the affected area. Review of Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is an agreement BPLS Steering Board meeting, chaired by the Minister of Public Works, and members of the East Java Governor, Commander V UB, and the chief of police in late August 2010.

Improving Air Quality Pollution Declined Sharply

LUMAJANG: Air quality in the results of research conducted Lumajang Environmental Laboratory, from year to year decline. Although pengalami decline, but air quality was still detectable at the permitted threshold in accordance with health needs. This statement, delivered Agus R Rozaq, Head of Environmental Research Laboratory Lumajang. When met-

lumajang.net Police, yesterday, Agus R Rozag presents the biggest air pollution indicator is the transportation sector. Utamanya of motor vehicles, especially two-wheel more and more just, he said. 2005-2009 research results that have been implemented, has increased 100 percent. In fact, research results, is still in the safe threshold. However, if left continuously, the air quality in Lumajang will get worse and dangerous for health, said Agus R Rozaq. One effort that can be done to reduce air pollution, presented Agus R Rozaq, can be done by limiting kendraan and to test the exhaust emissions regularly. However, to limit the number of vehicles needed and the policy commitment of stakeholders, especially from the Central Government. Meanwhile, for exhaust emission testing authority in the Department of Transportation conduct a routine inspection. For exhaust emission test, even though all his emotions fit standard vehicle but the sheer numbers they will not lower the existing air quality, dust Kasi this Environmental Research Laboratory. This, corrected in accordance with the results of studies showing that elevated levels of CO2. CO2 levels, also become the biggest contribution as a result of accelerating global warming. Another parameter is, the emergence or the detection level of SOX and NOX, which usually do not appear in previous studies. SOX is the level of sulfur oxides, while NOx is nitrogen oxide. Many other lead levels that affect children's intelligence level of chemicals in the air around it is very dangerous for health. These conditions, compounded by the action of the cutting of trees should be able to absorb toxic levels in the air, he explained. On the same occasion, Agus R Rozaq also presents the results of air quality tests conducted embien. In tests performed by taking samples at several points, including at Jl. PB Sudirman, in Terminal Minak Koncar Lumajang and Sickness damaged area, which is considered a pollutant central location, unit test data revealed joint implementation and safety techniques, data showed some bad air quality parameters in the region

Lumajang. This test data, reveal that measurable levels of carbon monoxide reaches 0.7, while achieving the quality standards of 0.20. While the previous air quality tests in 2005, only measured carbon monoxide levels ranging from 0.1 only, he explained. This test data, reveal that measurable levels of carbon monoxide reaches 0.7, while achieving the quality standards of 0.20. While the previous air quality tests in 2005, only measured carbon monoxide levels ranging from 0.1 only, he explained. Promote, masihg said Agus R Rozaq, from testing done in 2009 quite sharp. Although still far from the doorway, but the increase in poor air quality trends can be noted in this test. Another parameter is the level of nitrogen oxides or NOx, which detected 0.03 with the quality threshold of 0.05. Meanwhile, in 2005 and only 0:00 only. The levels of sulfur dioxide, so far still not detected by standard threshold 0.01. With this increase, air quality in Lumajang now still in safe levels despite a significant decline, he added.

Air pollution is increasingly threatening the city MEDAN

JULY, WEDNESDAY 01 2009 |18.17 pm

Increasing motor vehicle in Medan is apparently causing city has now become vulnerable to air pollution, increasing the quality of the environment. Chairman of the Environmental Studies Centre for Population Education (PUSDIP-KLH) State University of Medan, Prof. Suharta told AFP in Medan on Wednesday (1 / 7), said the city of Medan, the more susceptible to air pollution, due to continued improvement of motor vehicles in the provincial capital of North Sumatra this. "Air pollution in the city of Medan to disrupt the health of citizens," he said. This is not ideal because the ratio between the total population by the number of vehicles available. According to him, the vehicle is a major source of air pollution in urban areas. "It is estimated that, within the next ten years an increasing

number of patients with respiratory tract disease if left untreated," he said. Now not only ranked first respiratory infection in disease patterns in various regions in Indonesia, but also increasing the number of people with other diseases because of pollution. He added that the contribution of motor vehicle exhaust gas as a source of air pollution reaches 60-70%. While the contribution of emissions from industrial smokestacks only about 10-15%. The rest comes from other combustion sources, such as from households, waste burning, forest fires, and others. He hopes, needs to planting trees on the roadside, especially heavy traffic and in the corners of the city, thus reducing air pollution. "The rapid growth of cities was accompanied by a number of air quality caused the vehicle shall be an obstacle for the community,
