ABSTRAK
In recent years, land development in many suburban and rural counties has been impeded by the combined lack of municipal sewers and soil conditions necessary for conventional septic tank and soil absorption systems. Prince William County, Virginia, is such a county. When faced with an influx of population and commercial enterprises, it became obvious that some alternative, and innovative, on-site sanitary wastewater management system was required for many areas of the county. In 1974, the Prince William County Department of Public Health undertook the evaluation of one alternative and innovative on-site wastewater management system. The test site was a major oil company's full service gasoline station in Gainesville, Virginia. After five years of close observation, the conclusion is that the system can provide an effective and environmentally sound method for on-site wastewater treatment. This article summarizes the evaluation criteria used, data collection parameters, and analysis results. A presentation was made to the NEHA annual conference in Charleston, S.C.

Ozon merupakan salah satu polutan yang dapat pemicu penyakit asma. Konsentrasi ozon di Kecamatan Jagakarsa tinggi dan terjadi peningkatan penyakit asma selama tahun 2010 sampai 2011. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara konsentrasi ozon di udara ambien dan penyakit asma di Kecamatan Jagakarsa. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi ekologi time trend. Data yang digunakan adalah data harian pemantauan udara oleh Badan Pengelola Lingkungan Hidup Daerah Provinsi DKI Jakarta dan laporan harian penyakit asma di puskesmas. Data yang berhasil dikumpulkan sejumlah 377 data kasus harian asma dan 377 data konsentrasi ozon. Variabel lain yang diteliti adalah konsentrasi NO2 dan faktor iklim. Analisis dilakukan dengan uji regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan konsentrasi ozon berhubungan secara signifikan dengan konsentrasi NO2, suhu, dan kelembaban udara. konsentrasi ozon pengukuran 1 jam maksimum, dan 8 jam sudah melebihi baku mutu. Hasil ini mengindikasikan konsentrasi ozon di Kecamatan Jagakarsa sudah tidak sehat bagi masyarakat terutama untuk kelompok rentan, termasuk penderita asma. Akan tetapi hasil uji statistik antara konsentrasi ozon tidak berhubungan secara signifikan dengan jumlah kasus maupun prevalensi asma. Hal ini dapat dikarenakan data asma keterbatasan data asma dan minimnya titik sampling ozon. Konsentrasi ozon di Kecamatan Jagakarsa sudah tidak sehat bagi masyarakat khususnya kelompok rentan, termasuk orang-orang yang mempunyai riwayat penyakit asma. ...... Ozone is a pollutant which can trigger asthma. Ozone concentration in Kecamatan Jagakarsa is beyond threshold and asthma cases increase during 2010 to 2011.This research is aimed to identify association between ozone concentration and asthma in Jagakarsa. This research is time trend ecological study. Data was collected from daily air quality monitoring from Badan Pengelola Lingkungan Hidup Daerah of DKI Jakarta Province and from daily report of asthma in Puskesmas. Total data is 377 consists of 377 data of daily asthma cases, and 277 data of daily ozoe concentration. Rresearcher also collected data of NO2 concentration and climate components. To analyse we used simple linear regression model. The result shows that concentration of ozone is related significantly with concentration of NO2, temperature, and humidity. 1-hour maximum and 8-hour ozone was exceed the treshhold. It indicates concentration of ozone in Jagakarsa was not healthy for population notably for susceptible population include people who suffering asthma. However, there is no significant relation between concentration of ozone and asthma (both total cases and prevalence). It can be caused by lack of accurate data of asthma and lack of the number of sampling site. Concentration ozone of asthma in Jagakarsa was not healthy for population especially among susceptible group, include people who suffers asthma.
