As the proverb says it’s better to prevent than to treat it, as well as with pollution, more prevent than fix the cause. As a result of industrial pollution pollution becomes so serious that it does sooner or later we have to pay the consequences. In this article described the general problem of environmental pollution. Furthermore, highlighted some of the problems of industrial pollution.
The main problem encountered in the prevention of air pollution is mainly centered on the parts related industries, iron and steel processing. This process causes the release particles and gases such as sulfur oxides (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (CxHx), because of the possibility of the release of fumes from the process that uses high temperatures.
Granules particle size is smaller than the gas molecules to be released during this process, so that the control becomes more difficult than controlling the gas expenses. To prevent granular particles pollute the surrounding air need to be removed source or a given air flow before the flow into the atmosphere. So that smoke containing granules particles to be released into the atmosphere does not pollute the surrounding air, it is necessary firstly be reducing the number of grains of particles in the smoke (do not exceed the amount allowed) using a cleaning tool granular particles such as cyclone, brusher wet (wet scrubers), precipitating electrostatic (electrostatic precccipitator), filter fabric (fabric filters).
While several ways to prevent contamination of the air such as:
The use of regular ventilation, assisted by the fan placed in strategic places to suck outside air is cleaner and the polluted air breathed out.
The use of respiratory protective
Smoke Stacks with or without vacuum (blower)
If the foregoing is not done then, air pollution can cause several diseases such as:
(1) pneumoconiosis, a lung disease is caused by infection with dust particles. The dust particles are always present in the air inhaled during breathing.
(2) Silicosis is a disease caused by silica dust contained in the crystalline form. This dust can be found in industrial areas, such as gold mining, iron, coal, sandstone division, and industrial ceramics.
(3) The pathogenesis, is a disease caused by tiny dust particles that are small size of less than 3 microns can cause abnormalities. The smaller the size the greater the power perusaknya, usually takes 10 to 15 years before any real damage clinical symptoms.
(4) Kikroskopis, is penyakitkan caused by silica dust, at first seem hard bulge in certain parts of the lungs. Over the bulge gradually become larger and spread evenly. The bulge demarcated, layered like onions, hard, gray and black.
