Abstract

The impact of effluent discharge and seasonal variations on the quality of Ekemazu was determined. Total heterotrophic bacterial counts and most probable number was determined using standard microbiological procedures. The total heterotrophic bacteria counts in the upstream samples analyzed across the seasons varied between 4.8 ± 0.4 x 102 cfu/ml and 8.7 ± 0.1 x 102 cfu/ml, 36.0 ± 1.0 x 102 cfu/ml and 98.0 ± 1.0 x 102 cfu/ml in the effluent discharge point, 53.0 ± 6.0 x 102 cfu/ml and 85.0 ± 3.0 x 102 cfu/ml in the domestic activities point and 46.0 ± 4.0 x 102 cfu/ml and 78.0 ± 2.0 x 102 cfu/ml in the downstream. The total coliform counts ranged between 11.3 ± 0.9 MPN/100 ml and 19.0 ± 1.0 MPN/100 ml in the upstream, 20.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml and 37.5 ± 2.5 MPN/100 ml in the effluent discharge point, 18.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml and 35.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml in the domestic activities point and 17.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml and 22.5 ± 2.5 MPN/100 ml in the downstream. The faecal coliform counts in the upstream ranged between 6.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml and 8.0 ± 1.0 MPN/100 ml, 9.0 ± 1.0 MPN/100 ml and 13.0 ± 1.0 MPN/100 ml in the effluent discharge point, 9.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml and 11.5 ± 0.5 MPN/100 ml in the domestic activities point, 8.0 ± 0 MPN/100 ml and 10.0 ± 0.8 MPN/100 ml in the downstream. Organisms identified were Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Proteus mirabilis, Aeromonas hydrophilia, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecalis. Antimicrobial susceptibility test of isolates showed that the organisms were 14% sensitive to Meropenem, Levofloxacin, Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin and Gentamicin, 29% sensitive to Septrin and Chloramphenicol 43% sensitive to Amikacin, Ampicillin, and Gentamicin, This research clearly showed that bacterial load of the stream is higher than the WHO acceptable limit and the isolates are multidrug resistant.

Abstract

Street waste pickers, pushing their trolleys, are an everyday sight in many cities in South Africa. These paper reports on the pragmatic approach that was used to explore whether or not waste pickers/collectors need or already have the appropriate technology to conduct their daily activities. In this regard, street waste pickers in the northern part of Pretoria were interviewed to solicit information regarding the access to appropriate technologies and why they think there is a need for such technologies in their environment. The focus of the study was to assess the waste pickers environment as a potential innovation space for appropriate technology (AT). It was found that the environment provide a platform for the development of related AT research and development as well as social entrepreneurship and innovation.

Abstract

The Batik industry is one of the industrial sectors that has an important role in improving the economy. As time goes by, the demand for batik is increasing. Not only favored by adults and the upper class, but batik is also increasingly favored by the youngsters. Therefore, batik industry craftsmen continue to follow technological developments in order to be able to meet the demand for batik, as in the batik industrial area of Kampung Batik Laweyan. Some of the equipment used is still relatively simple, but the use of chemicals has been carried out for quite a long time because the price of batik materials continues to increase. In fact, if the industrial waste is not handled properly, it can pollute the river. This shows that some batik industry perpetrators do not yet have a full level of awareness and responsibility for the output of batik making. Therefore, comprehensive research is needed on toxic and hazardous waste management in order to determine the perception of craftsmen towards toxic and hazardous waste and increase the awareness of craftsmen towards toxic and hazardous waste. Based on research conducted at Afina Batik using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, information was obtained that some craftsmen did not know the types and dangers of chemical waste produced. In fact, there are chemicals used in the coloring process, such as napthol and chrome soga, which pose a risk of danger.

Abstract

The generation and handling of waste are significant challenges to developing nations like South Africa. Studies show that improper disposal of waste results in un-aesthetic, unhygienic and other health-related issues in developing nations. In addition, waste is usually generated as a result of daily activities of humans and animals; and in developing countries, the generation of waste per unit of output is much higher than that of the developed countries; and coupled with this is the challenge of effectively integrating a solid waste management system in South Africa. This paper reviewed and analysed literature to provide a theoretical framework for understanding waste and the role that digitisation could play in its management. The research shows that sustainable and digital waste monitoring can be achieved in South Africa if there is a proper plan, effective environmental policy and cooperation between the government, private sector, partners and the citizens. Moreover, if waste handling can be harnessed into a local economic development opportunity, its handlers and generators could be persuaded to manage the waste differently and properly. This would, further, create employment and revenue generation opportunities as well as a greener environment.

Abstract

The Covid-19 virus was recorded to have been found in Indonesia since March 2, 2020. This virus is a virus that is easily contagious, so it is one of the efforts to prevent transmission by using a mask. so that everyone is required to wear a medical or non-medical mask when doing activities outside the home. Of the two types of masks that are more often used, namely the type of medical masks that are used because they are considered safer and more comfortable than non-medical masks. However, after use, the mask turns into the garbage which is classified as B3 waste. Hazardous waste has different characteristics and properties from waste in general because it is unstable, reactive, explosive, flammable, and toxic. In this case, once the mask waste is immediately disposed of without processing, the environment can be explained. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of knowing the effect of disposable medical waste on environmental pollution during the pandemic era in Surakarta City. The method used in this study is a questionnaire method which was conducted through online media surveys targeting people aged 17-25 years and supported by data from indexed literature studies. The results of this study indicate that out of a total of 45 respondents, the community is very aware of B3 waste (80%), knows that B3 waste is harmful to health (100%), likes disposable medical masks (58%), understands disposable medical waste including B3 waste. (82%). Meanwhile, for the management of disposable mask waste, it shows that people still store medical mask waste at home (93%), understand the proper disposal of disposable mask waste (78%), have not differentiated it from other waste (60%), have not implemented 3R (76%) ) ), cutting medical waste before disposal (78%), understanding that medical mask waste is harmful to the environment (100%).

Abstract

Wastewater got much of our intention these days because wastewater is polluting our lakes, pounds and even sea have a lot of contaminated amount of waste. This water is hazardous for the acute life, dangerous for living things. Wastewater polluted the natural reservoirs. Over the past, the knowledge of the mechanisms of electrochemical wastewater treatment has progressively evolved. A comprehensive understanding of the types of methods and mechanisms of treatment of wastewater is a prerequisite to the understanding of their relativities and elucidation of intermediate products generated during the oxidation process and degradation pathways. The type, nature, and quantity of reactive species generated in electrochemical treatment processes are controlled by many factors, including the type of the treatment technique, electrode/electro catalyst materials, water/wastewater composition, water pH conditions, and operating parameters are to be considered. Multiple methods such as separation, conversion and combined methods are used for treatment. However, basic principle works on the electrochemical mechanism. This article gives the basic idea of electrochemical methods working principles, techniques being considered. It will also help us understand the by products recovery of different metal ions and how they converted into useful form. Best methods based on the efficiency and economic value. Feasibility of long term and short term methods for the treatment of wastewater.
