The team of researchers from Indonesia and France did some research on the lagoon Segara Anakan, Cilacap District, Central Java. "We found six strains of bacteria that can isolate the waste oil," said Agung Dhamar Syakti, guest researcher at the University of Aix Marseille, France, yesterday.
Agung Dhamar Syakti, that a faculty member at the Graduate Program of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of General Sudirman, Purwokerto, using bioremediation techniques. The technique is used in a way to use microorganisms existing in nature. This bioremediation technique, according to him, claimed to be cheaper and environmentally friendly. Later, it would make the bacteria break down waste in containers for oil and other domestic waste.
According to Agung, emerging pollutant or domestic waste that has accumulated into this lagoon. In addition, oil and other industries. Various wastes that enter through the river that flows in the 11 districts either from West Java and Central Java. Emerging pollutant, Agung reveals, is a relatively new pollutants studied in Indonesia. As a result of that pollutant, of biodiversity can be disrupted. In fact, he adds, in France, found the fish are changing sex because of emerging pollutant affected.
He hopes the research could result in recommendations to the government to make policy regarding the handling of domestic waste. According to him, in Europe, the policy has been a lot made about this.
Prof. Pierre Doumenq, environmental chemistry expert from Universite Paul Cezanne Aix Marseille (UPCAM), France, said Segara Anakan is a very exotic, and a variety of biodiversity there. "I've been researching about the pollution caused by oil in Europe, now saathya doing research in Indonesia," he said. *** [ARIS ANDRIANTO | KORAN TEMPO 3715]
