The Effectiveness of the Role of Civil Servant Investigators in Enforcement of Environmental Law

The occurrence of environmental pollution and damage requires repressive efforts in the form of law enforcement using instruments or criminal sanctions to force legal subjects to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Environmental civil servant investigators (PPNS) have an essential role in their authority to enforce environmental law. This research aimed to explain the state of the implementation of the role of PPNS in the work area of the Regional III Section Office - Center for Environmental and Forestry Law Enforcement and Enforcement (BPPHLHK) Sumatra Region in supporting environmental law enforcement and to find out what factors influence the role of PPNS in environmental law enforcement. The role of PPNS in enforcing environmental law in the working area of Section III Palembang - BPPHLHK Sumatra Region has been following Law Number 32 of 2009. Still, there is no standard operating procedure standard that can be used as a professional guide in implementing environmental law enforcement and measuring the effectiveness of the PPNS role. Factors that influence the role of PPNS in environmental law enforcement include legal factors, law enforcement officers, facilities and infrastructure, society and culture, and organization.

Environmental impacts of ancient copper mining and metallurgy: Multi-proxy investigation of human-landscape dynamics in the Faynan valley, southern Jordan

The environmental impact of mining and metallurgy is an issue that has affected societies in the ancient Near East over the past 8000 years. We present the results of a multidisciplinary project using agricultural sediments from ancient terraces as a cultural archive of environmental pollution and land use in the copper ore-rich Faynan valley of southern Jordan. Due to the simultaneous production of agricultural goods and copper metallurgy throughout the last 6000 years in the valley, environmental pollution and its consequences for human health have been considered as a factor in settlement abatement. Sediments from two farming terrace systems adjacent to the major mining and smelting locales were analyzed. The sediment analyses included metal concentrations, lead-isotopes and phytolith analysis, and OSL dating. Although measurable concentrations of lead and other heavy metals persist in ancient metallurgical waste piles, our investigations found minimal evidence for contamination in the adjacent terrace systems. Based on these results, we argue that the occurrence of environmental pollution in the Faynan valley is highly variable, and that the distribution of heavy metals resulted from a combination of natural and cultural factors, including persistent landscape features that helped contain the most polluted metallurgical deposits. These findings are significant for understanding the processes of landscape change and human impacts on desert environments, including the ways in which past human actions have negatively affected the environment, as well as preserved and protected the environment from further degradation.

Screening for potentially hazardous PRTR chemicals in the Lake Biwa-Yodo River basin of Japan using a one-box multimedia model.

A system is needed to predict the behavior, fate, and occurrence of environmental pollutants for effective environmental monitoring. Available monitoring data and computational modeling were used to develop a one-box multimedia model based on the mass balance of the emitted chemicals. Eight physiochemical phenomena in the atmosphere, soil, water, and sediment were considered in this model. This study was carried out in the Lake Biwa-Yodo River basin which provides multiple land uses and also the natural water resource for nearly 13 million of population in the region. Annual emissions for 214 nonmetallic compounds were calculated using the chemical emission data on Japanese pollutant release and transfer registry and used for executing the model simulations for 1997, 2002, and 2008 as input data. The calculated chemical concentrations by the model for all the environmental media were analyzed to determine trends in concentration over this study span. The majority of the chemicals decreased in concentration over time. Among the 214 nonmetallic chemical pollutants, 36 chemicals did not decrease in concentration and were in the top 10 % for concentration on average. Of these 36 pollutants, 7 occur in all 4 environmental media and pose a potential health risk at humans in the Lake Biwa-Yodo River basin.
