In agriculture, soil plays a crucial role as a growing medium, and its fertility is crucial for agricultural success. Andisol soil is known for its fertility, but agricultural intensification with the continuous use of chemical fertilizers can lead to heavy metal contamination. One such element is cadmium (Cd), which is highly toxic and harmful to human health and can reduce crop productivity i…
Coastal areas, particularly mangrove ecosystems, are highly vulnerable to the accumulation of heavy metals. On the other hand, the world is facing a global energy crisis due to dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels. This study aims to address both challenges simultaneously by utilizing the Sediment Microbial Fuel Cell (SMFC) as an ecosystem based approach capable of generating environmentall…
ABSTRACT UTILIZATION OF CLAY-BASED CERAMIC ADSORBENTS AND RESIDUE CATALYTIC CRACKING (RCC) INTEGRATED WITH REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) MEMBRANES FOR THE REDUCTION OF POLLUTANT PARAMETERS FROM THE PRODUCED WATER The petroleum industry is one of the industries in Indonesia that continues to increase. The increase in production is offset by an increase in the amount of liquid waste generated from petrole…
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that remains a major public health concern.

Sungsang’s Waters area is located in Sungsang, Banyuasin II, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra is an estuarine waters where most of the people work as fishermen. The many activities of the population cause the influx of heavy metal waste that can accumulate and harm aquatic biota and consumers. Mercury (Hg) that accumulates in fish eaten by humans can cause health problems and can be detected …
Sriwijaya University, in carrying out its academic activities, involves the mobilisation of motor vehicles, which has an impact in the form of the generation of pollutants from exhaust emissions. Providing green open space (RTH) through tree planting is one of the efforts to reduce vehicle pollution. The selection of tree species planted to support ecological needs can be assessed for their phy…

This study aims to analyze the application of green campuses according to UI GreenMetric standards in the setting and infrastructure category, analyze the application of green campuses according to UI GreenMetric standards in the waste category, and analyze efforts that can be made to maximize green campus assessments according to UI GreenMetric standards at Sriwijaya University. This research …
Climate change can be minimized with the involvement of all parties. Carbon emissions also contribute to climate change. Building construction also contributes to carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Net zero carbon buildings have been recognized as the appropriate solution to reduce carbon emissions in the construction sector. As part of Generation Z, alumni and students of Civil Engineering at…
Global warming has become a very important issue in the last few decades. One of the efforts to reduce global warming is by implementing a green campus. A green campus can provide environmental, social and economic benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The concept of a green campus can be applied to the UI GreenMetric standard, which is a ranking of sustainable universities arou…
Environmental damage is a global issue. And the animation "Hope (2020)" is one of the animations that raises the issue of environmental damage and its impacts.

The issue of problems that occur in Indonesia related to forest fires is an event that causes smog that interferes with sight, breathing and looking for the environment. Forest fires occurred in Indonesia in 2015 and 2019 keeping Indonesia busy due to the bad state of the increasing haze. These forest fires have an impact not only on Indonesia but also Malaysia and Singapore. The two countries …
Refueling Station is one of the places that contributes to air pollution. Gas station officers are people who play an important role in providing services for fuel needs in the community so that the transportation system runs smoothly. The higher the user of motorized vehicles, the intensity of refueling also increases. This study aims to analyze environmental health risks to the lung function …
Public Refueling Stations are places with high levels of air pollution exposure (NO2, SO2, CO, TSP and Dust) due to the large number of vehicles coming in and out when refueling oil.
