PERANCANGAN SISTEM MITIGASI PENCEMARAN LIMBAH LOGAM BERAT MELALUI TEKNOLOGI BIOREMEDIASI SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF DALAM UPAYA PENGENDALIAN POLUSI AIR BERBASIS INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

Abstract

Heavy metal waste pollution is an environmental issue of serious concern in this modern era. Data from BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics) states that throughout 2021, there were 10,683 villages / sub-districts that experienced water pollution, which shows the severity of the local level pollution problem. In addition, data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) in 2021, Indonesia produced 60 million tons of hazardous waste. One approach used to overcome this problem is bioremediation, which is a technology that utilizes living organisms, such as microbes and bacteria. Microbes and bacteria act as catalysts to separate substances in the bioremediation mixture with heavy metal waste. This research aims to design a system that implements bioremediation technology with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT) as an effort to control water pollution caused by heavy metal waste, especially oil. This tool integrates IoT technology to determine the level of water quality by measuring water quality parameters in real time via Telegram with high accuracy.  In addition, we also add an air detection feature through an air sensor that will monitor the quality of the surrounding air. The research method used in this research is using a combination of descriptive and experimental methods, by conducting experiments on a prototype scale.
