Pencemaran Lingkungan
BAB 1
PENDAHULUAN

1.1 LATAR BELAKANG
Lingkungan biasanya diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang ada di sekeliling kehidupan atau organisme. Lingkungan adalah kumpulan dari segala sesuatu yang membentuk kondisi dan akan mempengaruhi secara langsung maupun tidak langsung baik kepada kehidupan dalam bentuk individual maupun kuminitas pada tempat tertentu. Masalah pencemaran merupakan suatu masalah yang sangat populer, banyak dibahas oleh kalangan masyarakat di seluruh permukaan bumi kita ini. Masalah pencemaran merupakan suatu masalah yang sangat perlu mendapat penanganan secara serius oleh semua pihak untuk dapat menanggulangi akibat buruk yang terjadi karena pencemaran, bahkan sedapat mungkin untuk dapat mencegah jangan sampai terjadi pencemaran lingkungan. Pencemaran lingkungan terjadi bila daur materi dalam lingkungan hidup mengalami perubahan, sehingga keseimbangan dalam hal struktur maupun fungsinya terganggu. Ketidak seimbangan struktur dan fungsi daur materi terjadi karena proses alam atau juga karena perbuatan manusia.
1.2 RUMUSAN MASALAH
Dari latar belakang diatas, dapat dirumuskan berbagai permasalahan sebagai berikut :
1) Apa sajakah dampak pencemaran lingkungan bagi kelangsungan hidup makhluk hidup di bumi?
2) Bagaimana solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasi pencemaran lingkungan?
1.3 BATASAN MASALAH
Untuk menghindari pembahasan yang melebar, maka penulis hanya akan membahas tentang dampak pencemaran lingkungan bagi kelangsungan hidup makhluk hidup di bumi dan bagaimana solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasinya.
1.4 TUJUAN PENULISAN
Dalam menciptakan sesuatu tentunya ada maksud dan tujuannya. Tujuan kami dalam penyusunan tugas akhir ini yakni :
1) Mengetahui dampak pencemaran linkungan bagi kelangsungan hidup makhluk hidup di bumi.
2) Menemukan solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasi pencemaran lingkungan.
BAB II
LANDASAN TEORI
2.1 KIMIA LINGKUNGAN DAN PERANANNYA
Ilmu kimia merupakan faktor yang memegang peranan penting dalam memperlajari Lingkungan Hidup, karena dalam Lingkungan Hidup selalu ada bahan-bahan kimia. Oleh karena itu untuk mempelajari Lingkungan Hidup dan peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi di dalamnya, perlu adanya dari ilmu kimia yang khusus memperlajari bahan-bahan kimia yang ada dalam Lingkungan Hidup. Ilmu tersebut dinamakan Ilmu Kimia Lingkungan, yang memperlajari sifat-sifat, fungsi, terbentunya serta proses kimia yang terjadi dalam lingkungan hidup. Selain di atas Ilmu Kimia Lingkungan sangat diperlukan dalam mempelajari Lingkungan Hidup karena dalam Lingkungan Hidup tercakup komponen-komponen yang terdiri dari bahan kimia dan terjadi pula perputaran bahan kimia. Anda telah mengetahui bahwa Lingkungan Hidup terdiri dari beberapa komponen yang dikelompokan menjadi dua kelompok besar yaitu kelompok makhluk hidup (living group) yang disebut juga kelompok biotik dan kelompok tak hidup (non living group) yang disebut pula abiotik. Yang termasuk kelompok biotik adalah manusia, hewan, tumbuh-tumbuhan, bakteri dan fungsi yang kesemuanya dibangun dari bahan-bahan kimia dan merupakan gudang proses kimia. Sedangkan yang termasuk abiotik terdiri dari tiga faktor yaitu faktor energi matahari, faktor fisis, faktor bahan kimia.
Lingkungan Hidup dapat didekati dari semua disiplin ilmu antara lain ilmu kimia, sehingga muncul Ilmu Kimia Lingkungan. Hal ini wajar karena karena semua komponen baik kelompok biotik maupun kelompok abiotik yang menyusun Lingkungan Hidup terdiri dari unsur dan senyawa kimia, dimana saja akhirnya semua keadaan fisik memerlukan analisis dan penentuanpenentuan secara proses kimia. Dengan demikian ilmu kimia memegang peranan penting dan turut menentukan dalam penyelesaian serta memecahkan masalah Lingkungan Hidup.
2.2 SUMBER-SUMBER TERJADINYA PENCEMARAN
Uraian sebelumnya telah Anda ketahui bahwa bahan kimia yang tersebar dalam lingkungan fisik ini ada yang bermanfaat dan sangat diperlukan kehadirannya dalam jumlah sebanyak mungkin, ada yang berguna dalam kadar tertentu ada pula yang betul-betul bersifat sebagai racun dan berbahaya bagi kehidupan manusia, hewan maupun tumbuh-tumbuhan. Bahan-bahan kimia yang kehadirannya dalam lingkungan hidup dapat menyebabkan terganggunya kesejahteraan hidup manusia, hewan maupun tumbuh-tumbuhan disebut bahan pencemar. Sebagai sumber utama terjadinya pencemar adalah:
1) Proses-proses alam, antara lain pembusukan secara biologis, aktivitas gunung berapi, terbakarnya semak-semak, dan halilintar.
2) Pembuatan/aktivitas manusia, seperti:
a) Hasil pembakaran bahan bakar yang terjadi pada industri dan kendaraan bermotor.
b) Pengolahan dan penyulingan bijih tambang mineral dan batubara.
c) Proses-proses dalam pabrik.
d) Sisa-sisa buangan dari aktivitas-aktivitas tersebut di atas.
Pencemaran lingkungan ini sudah terjadi sejak jaman dahulu kala, sejak adanya manusia, tetapi baru abad 20 pencemaran yang diakibatkan karena manusia ini menjadi pokok bahasan pada semua kalangan masyarakat dan perlu mendapat penanganan dan pengawasan secara serius.
BAB III
PEMBAHASAN
3.1 BAHAN PENCEMAR
Bahan kimia ada yang diperlukan untuk kehidupan harus dalam jumlah besar, sehingga kalau kekurangan akan menimbulkan masalah. Ada juga bahan kimia yang pada jumlah kecil diperlukan dalam kehidupan dan bila jumlah berlebihan akan menimbulkan pencemaran. Bahan kimia yang dapat menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan itulah yang disebut bahan pencemar atau zat-zat pemcemar.
Debu-debu atau partikel-partikel zat yang berterbangan di udara juga dapat menimbulkan pencemaran, iritasi mata, sakit kerongkongan, sakit kulit, dan sebagainya. Di dalam lingkungan hidup kita ini banyak bahan-bahan kimia yang sangat diperlukan kehadirannya sampai kadar tertentu. Sebagian bahan kimia diperlukan dalam jumlah yang besar, sebagian lagi hanya diperlukan sedikit saja, tetapi bila digunakan lebih banyak akan mengganggu kesehatan bahkan jiwa makhluk hidup.
3.2 BAHAN PENCEMAR UDARA
Pada umumnya bahan pencemar udara adalah berupa gas-gas beracun (hampir 90 %) dan partikel-partikel zat padat. Gas-gas beracun ini berasal dari pembakaran bahan bakar kendaraan, dari industri dan dari rumah tangga. Selain gas-gas beracun di atas, pembakaran bahan bakar kendaraan juga menghasilkan partikel-partikel karbon dan timah hitam yang berterbangan mencemari udara.
Gas-gas beracun hasil dari pembakaran bahan bakar ini biasanya berupa oksida-oksida karbon (karbon dioksida, karbon monokisida) dan nitrogen (nitrogen monoksida, nitrogen dioksida, dinitrogen oksida) dan senyawa-senyawa hidrokarbon. Bahan pencemar udara ini terdispersi dalam udara, sehingga kadarnya menjadi kecil. Sampai kadar tertentu tidak menimbulkan pencemaran, tetapi bila bahan pencemar ini mencapai NAB (Nilai Ambang Batas) atau KTD (Kadar Tertinggi Diijinkan), maka pencemaran udara tidak dapat dihindarkan lagi. Karbon monoksida (CO) sangat beracun bagi manusia, sebab akan bereaksi dengan haemoglobin dan mengurangi kadar oksigen yang dapat bereaksi dengan haemoglobin yang akan diangkut ke seluruh tubuh, dengan demikian manusia akan kekurangan oksigen untuk keperluan pembakaran dalam tubuhnya, manusia akan menderita sakit kepala bahkan dapat menjadi lemas dan pingsan. | | |
3.3 BAHAN PENCEMAR AIR
Senyawa organik dan senyawa anorganik yang terdapat dalam air dapat menyebabkan pencemaran air minum, meskipun untuk keperluan industri mungkin air tersebut belum dikatakan tercemar.
Salah satu jenis bahan pencemar adalah unsur-unsur renik (treace element). Istilah unsur-unsur renik merujuk kepada unsur-unsur yang terdapat pada konsentrasi yang sangat rendah dalam suatu sistem. Unsur renik adalah suatu unsur yang terjadi hanya pada konsentrasi beberapa bagian per-sejuta (part per milion= ppm) atau kurang. Beberapa unsur renik dikenal sebagai hara untuk tanaman dan nutrisi untuk hewan. Dalam tabel tersebut banyak unsur yang merupakan unsure pokok pada konsentrasi rendah dan toksin pada konsentrasi yang lebih tinggi. Hal ini merupakan fenomena dari beberapa zat dalam lingkungan air. Sejumlah unsur logam berat merupakan logam yang paling berbahaya sebagai zat pencemar. Seperti timbal (Pb), Kadmium (Cd), Merkuri (Hg), kebanyakan dari logam-logam itu mempunyai afinitas sangat besar terhadap belerang. Logam-logam ini menyerang ikatan-ikatan belerang dalam ezimenzim sehingga enzim yang bersangkutan menjadi tidak berfungsi. Gugusgugus protein, asam karboksilat dan amino juga diserang oleh logam-logam berat. Ion-ion Cd, Cu, dan Hg(II) terikat pada sel-sel membran yang menyebabkan terhambatnya proses-proses transport melalui dinding sel. Logam-logam berat juga dapat mengendapkan fosfat-organik atau mengkatalisis penguraiannya.
3.4 BAHAN PENCEMAR TANAH
Pupuk buatan, obat pembasmi hama seperti pestisida, herbisida, bila digunakan secara berlebihan dapat menimbulkan pencemaran tanah, merubah sifat fisis, sifat kimia dan sifat biologis tanah, sehingga menganggu pertumbuhan tumbuh-tumbuhan. Sampah dan bahan buangan dan benda padat yang makin meningkat jumlahnya dapat menjadi bahan pencemar tanah, apalagi yang sukar diuraikan oleh bakteri pengurai. Tanah merupakan tempat penampungan berbagai bahan kimia. banyak dari gas SO2 yang dihasilkan dari perubahan bahan bakar batu bara atau bensin berakhir dengan sulfat yang masuk ke dalam tanah atau tertampung di atas tanah. Tanah juga sebagai tempat penampungan banyak limbah-limbah dari rembesan penumpukan tanah (landfill), kolam lumpur (lagoon), dan sumber-sumber lainnya.
3.5 LIMBAH PADAT ATAU SAMPAH
Limbah padat atau sampah, istilah ini diberikan kepada barang-barang atau bahan-bahan buangan rumah tangga atau pabrik yang tidak digunakan lagi atau tidak terpakai dalam bentuk padat. Sampah merupakan campuran dari berbagai bahan baik yang tidak berbahaya seperti sampah dapur (organik) maupun bahan-bahan berbahaya yang banyak dibuang oleh pabrik dan rumah tangga yang dapat digunakan kembali atau didaur ulang maupun yang tidak dapat didaur ulang. Dengan meningkatnya populasi penduduk di setiap daerah/kota maka jumlah sampah yang dihasilkan setiap rumah tangga makin meningkat. Hal ini menjadi masalah besar bagi kota-kota besar yang padat penduduknya seperti Jakarta, Surabaya dan lain-lainnya untuk menangani masalah yang dihasilkan setiap hari.
Dalam hal ini sampah sebelum digunakan perlu diolah ulang terlebih dahulu. Bahan-bahan yang dapat direcycle atau didaur-ulang seperti kertas atau sampah bekas, pecahan-pecahan gelas atau kaca, besi atau logam bekas dan sampah organik yang berasal dari dapur atau pasar dapat didaur-ulang menjadi kompos (pupuk). Proses daur-ulang ini juga dapat mengubah sampah menjadi energi panas yang dikenal dengan proses insenerasi. Insenerasi sederhana sudah ada yang melakukan oleh beberapa industry misal di Jakarta, yaitu menggunakan limbah padat dalam bentuk lumpur hasil akhir pengolahan air limbahnya tidak dibuang ke tanah tetapi digunakan sebagai bahan bakar setelah mengalami pengeringan. | BAB VI
PENUTUP 4.1 KESIMPULAN
Ditinjau dari segi ilmu kimia yang disebut pencemaran lingkungan adalah peristiwa penyebaran bahan kimia dengan kadar tertentu yang dapat merubah keadaan keseimbangan pada daur materi, baik keadaan struktur maupun fungsinya sehingga mengganggu kesejahteraan manusia. Lingkungan adalah kumpulan dari segala sesuatu yang membentuk kondisi dan akan mempengaruhi secara langsung maupun tidak langsung baik kepada kehidupan dalam bentuk individu maupun kelompok pada tempat tertentu. Bahan-bahan kimia yang tersebar dalam atmosfer pada umumnya berbentuk gas dan partikel-partikel debu (kotoran) yang berbentuk aerosol dengan udara.
Bahan-bahan kimia yang kehadirannya dalam lingkungan hidup dapat menyebabkan terganggunya kesejahteraan hidup manusia, hewan maupun tumbuh-tumbuhan disebut bahan pencemar.
4.2 SARAN
Setelah membaca membaca karya tulis ini, penulis menyarankan untuk Tidak membuang sampah sembarangan, Dapat Mengelolah sampah dengan baik, Dapat menanggulangi limbah dengan baik.

Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel - Why They Appeal to Such Broad Segments in Asia.

...Happy Meal promotion by McDonalds in Singapore in 2000 where McD’s customers could buy a Hello Kitty or Dear Daniel doll for $2.60 Singapore dollars caused such a frenzy (and a ruckus too) that it has caught the interest of both the media, global marketers and academics alike. In the end, this Hello Kitty McToy promotion increased the interest and sales for McDonalds; but with a different consumer; and not the intended target group - the prepubescent girls and boys! The reasons for this unexpected and overwhelming appeal for this McToy campaign in Singapore and the rest of Asia can be postulated to the following. They are however divided into two categories – the first covering the Asiatic region in general; and secondly, specifically to the Singapore market only: A) Across Asia: i. The Growth, Charge and Impact of the Kawaii Concept: Kawaii is a key concept that characterizes the modern Japanese culture. Literary translated as “cute” in English or figuratively as “things that are desired”, this culture originated with the 15 to 18 year old girls in Japan. Soon, marketers and advertisers in the fashion, publishing and the cute-little-gadgets industries recognizing the wide potential and appeal of this niche segment began to leverage on it. As this market segment is typified by the characteristic “not how much they spend” but “it’s that they all buy the same things”, hot items (like Hello Kitty) when caught by the wave can easily reach 100% market penetration in weeks!

Arts2213 Literature Review

...Japanese popular culture has been around for many years and is the leading wave of Asian popular culture. It includes a variety of media such as manga, anime, film and music. Japanese popular culture is also portrayed through physical forms such as products, celebrities, personalities, maid cafes and may others. SMAP is a Jpop boy band with immense popularity from Japan and is one form of Japanese popular culture. Darling-Wolf suggests that SMAP's popularity is due to its careful construction of appeal and masculinity. SMAP is not well-known for their talents in singing, but rather for depicting Japanese personalities. Darling-Wolf refers to SMAP members as 'life-sized' pop idols (Aoyagi) who personifies a typical Japanese boy or girl which allows audiences to relate to them well. This is supported by Yano's research which highlights that fans form emotional bonds and connections with celebrities due to their charisma and personalities. Darling-Wolf that SMAP is popular is due to its intertextuality from appearing in TV shows, movies, talk shows and many more media forms which allows fans to feel a proximity or closeness. Intertextuality allows SMAP to be able to portray their personalities better and reach out to more audiences, which enables them to connect with their audience. Darling-Wolf argues that SMAP's fame is highly due to its constructed appeal of masculinity, which creates the 'perfect female fantasy'. SMAP members portray pluralities of masculinities which involve...

Sorry my room is a little bit messy, I was gone all weekend, and I got back not too long ago” Jennah says. I explain to her that I totally understand, as I was gone all weekend too. I look past her a little bit as I am entering her dorm room. It is a little bit plain, and not equipped with much. As I look to my left at her bed, I do notice something that catches my interest: a Hello Kitty bed comforter. “No way! Jennah, I adore your comforter” I say excitedly. “Hello Kitty is the bomb” she agrees. I am not surprised at the fact that she has a comforter with a character popular among young elementary-aged girls. For the week that I’ve known her, she seemed very free-spirited, and young at heart. I observe her outfit and see something I, for some reason, did not notice when I first entered. She was wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt. Accommodating her shirt was a pair of black cut-off shorts that looked like she may have chopped them into shorts herself. She was also wearing a necklace with a small metal skull, and few black and white rubber bracelets. The two most prominent things about her, however, were the two lip piercings (known as snake bites), and the blue shoulder-length hair. “So yeah, this is my dorm!” she exclaims in a uniquely...

Hello

...Hey hi hello First use Hello, with that spelling, was used in publications as early as 1833. These include an 1833 American book called The Sketches and Eccentricities of Col. David Crockett, of West Tennessee,[2] which was reprinted that same year in The London Literary Gazette.[3] The word was extensively used in literature by the 1860s.[4] Etymology According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo,[5] which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman."[6] It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there').[7] As in addition to hello, halloo,[8] hallo, hollo, hullo and (rarely) hillo also exist as variants or related words, the word can be spelt using any of all five vowels.[citation needed] Telephone The use of hello as a telephone greeting has been credited to Thomas Edison; according to one source, he expressed his surprise with a misheard Hullo.[9] Alexander Graham Bell initially used Ahoy (as used on ships) as a telephone greeting.[10][11] However, in 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh: Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away.
