The Effectiveness of Mollusk Sand Filtration and Absorption of Active Carbon to Decrease Pb, Turbidity and pH in Rain Water and Its Correlation to Public Health in Pontianak
Abstract:Pb found in rain water is not only caused by tin roof on houses but also caused by the pollution of industrial activities, vehicles and land clearing activity by fire. Pb pollutant dissolves and enters into rain water storages and it’s consumed as drinking. Pb can cause bad impact to human, for example disruption of enzyme, anemia and low intelligence. The purposes of this research are (1) to evaluate Pb, pH and turbidity level in rain water, (2) to analyze the effectiveness of mollusk sand filtratio… Show more
