Perbandingan Tingkat Efektivitas Jeringau (Acorus calamus) dan Eceng Gondok (Eichornia crassipes) dalam Menurunkan Konsentrasi Amonia Air Limbah Rumah Sakit Islam Samarinda

Abstract

Hospital is refferal health effort tha produce waste water in form of liquid, solid, and gas. Approximately 10-25% of waste originaly from hospital hazardous waste to cause health problems, and environment, in hospital envoronment. One of parameters that are harmful to heath and the environtment is ammonia. The research objective of this study was to determine differene in the level of effectvrness jeringau and eceng gondok in reduced concentration ammonia in islam Hospital Samarinda Wastewater. This study used analytic Quasi Experimental method to search more effective plant between jeringau and eceng gondok. Sampless was taken from Islam Hospital wastewater and looping conducted to obtain comparative results. The Analysis used univariate and bivariate tests with different test significance level of 95% The measurement results show eceng gondok is effective in reducing amonia dendity 50% (6 individuals) (asymp. Sig = 0.049) and density 75%(8 individuals) (asymp. Sig = 0.041) and then jeringau is effective in reducing amonia dendity 50% (6 individuals) (asymp. Sig = 0.039) and density 75% (8 individuals) (asymp. Sig = 0.032) so that the two media are effective in reducing the concentration of amonia contained in the Islam Hospital wastewater. To maximize the decline of ammonia , to conducted research by increase contact time and to cultivated Acorus calamus and Eichornia crassipes that can be used in reduced amonia than for industrial/ hospital can be in household level
