The Effects of Ammonia Leakage, Air Pollution, and Transportation on Climate Change in the Village Environment Around Pt. Iskandar Muda Fertilizer (Pt.Pim) Dewantara District

Abstract

The existence of the Company PT. Pupuk Iskandar Muda in Dewantara District, North Aceh Regency, Aceh Province, in addition to having a positive impact, also harms the environment name in the form of air pollution (ammonia gas leakage), which is surrounding community. It hoped that the air pollution could control the North Aceh Regency Government and the Company not to harm the surrounding community. However, in reality, the Regional Government has not been able to carry out air pollution control/mitigation properly. In its prevention efforts, the Company has not fully protected so that the incidence of pollution repeats itself from year to year without special handling. This phenomenon seems to be commonplace and is considered trivial by the Company, the government and the surrounding community. The smell of ammonia gas that occurs almost every day in the Dewantara District is natural. All stakeholders are not dangerous and can coexist with it. It should not be left alone, let alone decided by academics as a harmless problem. The implementation of this research uses a descriptive-analytical study wherein obtaining as much data as possible is carried out through various techniques that are arranged systematically to seek data collection from research results that follow the nature of the problem and the research objectives to obtain. This study aims to determine the extent to which the implementation of air pollution control/mitigation (ammonia gas) and to find out what obstacles are experienced by local governments and companies in carrying out control/mitigation of air pollution (ammonia gas) as a result of the operation of PT. Pupuk Iskandar Muda in Dewantara District, North Aceh Regency, Aceh Province. This research hopes that strategic steps can be taken by the Regional Government and the Company so that the chronic air pollution (ammonia gas) will be immediately resolved and will not happen again. The outputs of this research are research reports and scientific publications in accredited national journals and research books with ISBN.
