AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is getting worse and this can
endanger the health, interfere with the aesthetics and comfort or can even
damage the property. Air pollution can be caused by natural sources and human
activity.
Some result of research on air pollution at
all costs has been published, but rarely people realize how many thousands of citizens
who die each year from respiratory infections, asthma, lung cancerand urban air
pollution.
The sky in Jakarta and major cities in
Indonesia are not blue anymore. The air was filled with city soot and gases
that are harmful to human health. It is estimated that, within the next ten
years an increasing number of patients with lung disease and respiratory tract.
Actually a lot of air pollutants to watch,
but the World Health Organization (WHO) has defined several types of pollutants
that are considered serious, namely particles that contain particulates ( smook
and soot), hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide and nitrogenoxides. Ironically all of
these pollutants emmited by motor vehicles.
We as the next generation must find a
solution to this problem. The best solutions to over come the air pollution is
by improvements in all sectors especially aimed at revamping the transport
sector, without neglecting other sectors. This is what we need to emulate and
learn from other big cities in the world, which has succeeded in reducing urban
air pollution and morbidity and mortality caused by it. And to do that all of
us can not be alone. This activity must be conducted with all
stakeholdersranging from government, NGOs and society in general. Government
should make strict regulation of environmental pollution of air, water or soil.
