Namun sendiri saat ini masih berjuang dalam meningkatkan mutu layanan yang mana Intake atau sumber airnya, yaitu intake Madi, memiliki permasalahan banjir luapan sulit terdeteksi akibat semakin banyaknya curah hujan tertampung mengakibatkan tekanan besar dan mempengaruhi nilai ambang batas inta...

Active travel (cycling, walking) is beneficial for the health due to increased physical activity (PA). However, active travel may increase the intake of air pollution, leading to negative health consequences. We examined the risk-benefit balance between active travel related PA and exposure to air pollution across a range of air pollution and PA scenarios. The health effects of active travel an...

A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate 11 vehicular cabin filters (including electrostatic filters) in removing fine particles. Two with charcoal were also evaluated understand their usefulness five common volatile organic compounds, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers (BTEX). Filters found show considerably different particle filtration efficiencies (FE). Electro...
