A study was conducted to analyse the level of air and noise
pollution at Sultan Hasanuddin eco-airport,
Indonesia. Sound
level meter was used to analyse noise pollution and the indicators of air
pollution instrument was used to measure the level of air pollution caused by
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide
(SO2) and Carbon
monoxide (CO). The study reported that noise level was 72.53 dBA, and measured air pollution levels were
SO2-13.748 μg/Nm3, NO2-18.650 μg/Nm3 and CO-25.942
μg/Nm3. However, improvement in the noise and air quality is needed for the
Sultan Hasanuddin airport to be included among the eco-airports of the globe.
Groundwater
forms one of the primary resources for development activities. In recent times,
there has been tremendous demand for fresh water due to population growth and
intensive agricultural activities. Groundwater quality is the physical and
chemical characterization of groundwater, which measures its suitability for
human and animal consumption, irrigation and other aims. Irrigation water
quality is generally judged by some determining factors such as sodium absorption
ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC),
and electrical conductance (EC) (Richards, 1954). In the study used SAR for
determination of waterground quality. Read more................
