“…One of the fulfillments for electricity demand in Indonesia is produced by Coal Fired Power Plant with 48.6% of the total power generation in Indonesia and 42.4% of the total power plant using coal as its fuel [2]. Increasing pollution levels due to rapid industrialization and urbanization are now causes of major concern in industrializing countries [3].…”

“…By burning fuels in the thermal power stations, important quantities of polluting substances such as CO, CO 2 , SO 2 , NO 2 , ash dust are emitted into the atmosphere that have a powerful impact on the environment factors [9]. The evaluation of the maximum concentration of air pollutants such as SO 2 , NO x , and suspended particulate matter is usually considered of primary importance for environmental impact assessment [10]. Analyses of the environmental effects arising from power plants using a variety of models suggest that air quality effects depend on a wide variety of local atmospheric parameters as well as on the combustion technology [11].…”

Worldwide, large quantities of explosives are manufactured for use in various types of ammunitions, arms, and mines. Toxic pollutants in the workplaces of three major activities, viz., explosive and solid propellant preparation facility, solid propellant shell assembling facility, and solid propellant shell proof firing facility, were studied. The suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentration in grinding room (13.9 mg/m 3 ) and sieving room (19.3 mg/m 3 ) of solid propellant preparation facility was observed to be two to threefold higher than the permissible limit. The SPM in the dentex preparation section was found to be significantly high (10.8 mg/m 3 ). The personal exposure was fourfold higher (21 mg/m 3 ) than the permissible limit. It was emerged that concentration of particulate is a major concern in all the processing sections. Since the chemical nature of these particulates is expected to be more toxic in nature, it requires greater attention. At firing point, carbon monoxide appeared to be a major concern.

“…Small quantities of fluorescein can be detected in samples due to the extreme sensitivity of fluorometry and the large fluorescent cross section of fluorescein. For example, fluorometry has been used in research studies to determine uranium in air, soil, and biological materials (Lodge 1988), and to determine the collection efficiency of filters and samplers (McFarland et al, 1987). There are many factors that affect fluorometry: intensity and wavelength of primary light, band width of excitation and emission filters used in the fluorometer, and the pH of the sample (Lodge 1988).…”

Fluorescein has been used as a tracer in aerosol studies for the detection and quantification of aerosols. This report summarizes a sequence of experiments conducted to confirm our procedure used for the recovery and detection of fluorescein from filters. Our results confirmed the following: (1) The optimum excitation and emission wavelengths for fluorescein are 492 and 516 nm, respectively. (2) For fluorescence intensity (FI) measurements to be accurate, FI of a sample has to be significantly higher than the FI of water filled test tubes. (3) At higher gain settings, changes in the test tube orientation can affect the FI measurement of low fluorescence material. (4) Consistent alignment of the test tube in the fluorometer reduces the variation in FI measurements. (5) Below the self-quenching limit, the fluorometer readings increase linearly with increasing fluorescein concentrations. (6) After the pH of the recovery solution has reached 8, there is no significant effect on FI measurements for further increase in pH. (7) The change in pH does not affect the shape or the position of the peak of the emission spectrum. (8) Our procedure fully recovers fluorescein from glass fiber filters. (9) Fluorescein samples, prepared for fluorometer measurements, were stable over at least a 12 day period.
