“…The city has also not been able to provide enough clean water for the local population (Hasbiah & Kurniasih, 2019). Pollutant levels in the air are also reported to increase every year (Gunawan, Bressers, Mohlakoana, & Hoppe, 2017).…”

Notwithstanding that many efforts to overcome environmental problems have been carried out by several parties, yet the issues still occur. Improving students’ responsible environmental behavior (REB) can be an alternative to solve environmental problems. This study aimed to analyze the relation between the both variables (i.e. naturalist intelligence and personality) and students’ REB at SJHS 51 of Bandung. The research was carried out using quantitative descriptive method through a correlational approach. Naturalist intelligence, personality, and REB data were collected using questionnaires. The research data were analyzed using multiple linear regression at α = 0.05. The research results showed that there was a relation between: (1) naturalist intelligence and REB;. (2) personality and REB; and (3) the both predictor variables and REB. Therefore, empowering the both competencies (naturalist intelligence and personality) is the essential step to improve students’ REB.

“…The increase in the number of vehicles increases by about 10-15% every year. Meanwhile, road construction has increased by 0.45% per year with reduced green open space of ± 7.86% of the total area of Bandung City (Gunawan et al, 2017). Along with the dense population in Bandung, the emission of ne particulate matter from domestic activities could be considered signi cant.…”

PM2.5 become people’s concern due to its health effect and its presence in the air that reduce visibility when levels are raised. Therefore, monitoring of PM2.5 level is essential for assessing the level as well as the variability. In this study, the low-cost sensor Purple Air was utilized for PM2.5 monitoring. Evaluation of the low-cost sensor was done by co-location sampling with the filter-based Super Speciation Air Sampling System (Super SASS) instrument as the Federal Reference Method (FRM). The low-cost data during June 2022 - May 2023 were compared to the data from Super SASS. Sampling was done in Tamansari Bandung, Indonesia. The average mass concentration of PM2.5 from the low-cost sensor was 39.04±15.16 mg/m3. The comparative results of the two methods were obtained with a coefficient of determination value of 0.96. An average ratio of 1.24 shows that the concentration of PM2.5 from low-cost sensors is generally higher by 24% than from Super SASS. The low-cost sensor in this study was utilized for monitoring the temporal variation of PM2.5. Temperature and humidity measured by the low-cost sensor and the value obtained in the range of 26.29-33.41°C and 37.41-63.91%, respectively. The low-cost sensor shows its capability in monitoring the temporal variation of PM2.5 in Bandung, where the results indicate that PM2.5 levels are influenced by meteorological factors and emission sources. The outcomes of this study provide valuable information to authorities, enabling them to establish appropriate measures and policies to control and mitigate the impacts of air pollution on air quality.

A reduction in the energy-related emissions of air pollutants would not only mitigate climate change but would also improve local air quality and public health. This paper aimed to analyze the trends of air quality index (AQI) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Taiwan by using the latest official statistics. In addition, this study also summarized regulatory measures for controlling air pollution from the energy sector with relevance to sustainable development goals (SDGs). With the joint efforts by the public and private sectors, the change in the total GHG emissions did not vary much with the exception of 2009, ranging from 250 to 272 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent from 2005 through 2019. Based on the data on AQI, the percentage of AQI by station-day with AQI > 100 has decreased from 18.1% in 2017 to 10.1% in 2020, indicating a decreasing trend for all criteria air pollutants. On the other hand, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) lockdown, in 2019, has positively impacted Taiwan’s urban air quality, which was consistent with those observed in other countries. This consistent situation could be attributed to the climate change mitigation policies and promotional actions under the revised Air Pollution Control Act and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act of 2015. In response to the SDGslaunched by the Taiwan government in 2018, achieving the relevant targets by 2030 can be prospective.
