Air Sungai Pontian hitam, hanyir

berun

PONTIAN - Busuk dan menjijikkan. Itu luahan nelayan sungai Pontian yang terpaksa menghidu bau busuk dan hanyir air sungai yang bertukar kehitaman sejak dua tahun lalu.

Nelayan, Jefri Hashim, 41, berkata, air sungai yang berubah menjadi hitam menyebabkan kemusnahan habitat ikan dan udang galah.

Akibatnya, sungai yang menjadi periuk nasi mereka hanya tinggal kenangan.

“Pembukaan kilang semakin rancak di kawasan berhampiran sungai menyebabkan berlaku pencemaran sungai.

“Dianggarkan terdapat lebih lima kilang dibuka di kawasan berhampiran,” katanya ketika ditemui Sinar Harian, semalam.

Menurutnya, pencemaran turut menyebabkan nelayan dan penduduk sekitar tidak berani menjala udang dan ikan.

“Keadaan air sungai yang hitam dan berselut menyebabkan ada rakan-rakan yang mengadu dijangkiti penyakit kulit akibat air kotor,” katanya.

Sementara itu nelayan veteran, Jaafar Ahmad, 70, berkata, dahulu, sungai tersebut merupakan tempat tumpuannya dan pengunjung luar seperti Johor Bahru dan Singapura untuk menangkap udang galah.

Namun, kini mereka terpaksa mencari kerja baharu kerana tidak dapat turun mencari udang galah dan ikan.

“Sejak sungai tercemar, pak cik tidak lagi turun menjala udang. Jala terpaksa disimpan dalam rumah sahaja,” katanya.

Justeru, dia berharap masalah dihadapi nelayan dan penduduk 10 kampung berhampiran sungai tersebut mendapat perhatian pihak berkaitan.

“Setakat ini, isu sungai hanya diajukan kepada pihak kepimpinan kampung sahaja, namun keadaan semakin teruk sejak kebelakangan ini.

“Kami bimbang Sungai Pontian yang terkenal dengan udang galah akan pupus sekiranya tiada tindakan sewajarnya diambil. Jadi, kami harap rintihan kami ini didengar pihak berwajib,” katanya.

eww.. ni pontian selangor kan?

kilang kuarkan sisa toksik lam sungai.. abeh jahanom ekologi ... takkan tgk aje.. sila saman kilang dan pulihara sg pontian..

What are "E.M. Mudballs" and do they work?

WHAT ARE "E.M. MUDBALLS" AND DO THEY WORK?
By Wong Ee Lynn



We often hear of "E.M. Mudballs" being thrown into rivers and seas during beach and river cleanup campaigns. These mudballs purportedly contain properties that will purify water, improve water quality and solve sanitation problems. Why is it that we have never heard about these miraculous mud balls before, and what is the science behind them?

WHAT DOES "E.M." STAND FOR?

An effective microorganism ("E.M.") refers to any of the predominantly anaerobic organisms blended in commercial agricultural amendments, medicines, and nutritional supplements based on the trademarked product originally marketed as EM-1 Microbial Inoculant, aka Effective Microorganisms and EM Technology. These blends are reported to include:
* Lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus casei
* Photosynthetic bacteria: Rhodopseudomonas palustris
* Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
* Others: beneficial microorganisms that exist naturally in the environment may thrive in the mixture.
EM Technology is purported to support sustainable practices in farming and to improve and support human health and hygiene, compost and waste management, disaster clean-up (the Bangkok floods of 2011, the Southeast Asia tsunami of 2004, the Kobe earthquake, and Hurricane Katrina remediation projects).

ORIGINS

The concept of "friendly microorganisms" was developed by Professor Teruo Higa, from the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan.

DO THEY WORK?

The Effective Microorganisms (EM) concept is considered controversial in some quarters. There is no scientific evidence to support all of its proponents' claims. This is acknowledged by Higa in a 1994 paper co-authored by Higa and soil microbiologist James F Parr, a USDA Research, they conclude in that, "the main limitation...is the problem of reproducibility and lack of consistent results."

Many of the claims about "EM" are being put to the test and research is being conducted by scientists to find out the effectiveness of EM mud balls as biological control and water purification agents. None of the scientific papers published so far seem to give any real evidence of the beneficial effects of EM.

POSSIBLE ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCE

Doubts are also raised as to whether the microorganisms in the mud balls are able to survive in environments such as heavily polluted seawater. Temperature, pH, salinity, oxygen density, redox potential, concentrations of preferred nutrients, concentrations of co-substrates and presence of toxicants affect the survivability and persistence of any single species or combination of species of microorganisms introduced into an environment. Microorganisms that have been introduced into an environment are usually less able to grow in that environment, compared to indigenous microbial populations or microorganisms that have had time to gradually adapt to environmental changes.

Whenever an organism is to be introduced into a natural environment, careful study must be conducted to assess its impact on the ecology of the environment. Even where an organism is native to an environment, a sudden influx of a single species or a group of species will alter population dynamics in the ecosystem and may result in long term negative consequences. The risks of introduced/invasive species are now well-recognised.

Since EM functions by overwhelming existing microbial populations, haphazard andcontinuous use of EM threatens to alter our environment and reduce microbial diversity. Continuously using EM freely and abundantly with poor understanding of its consequences is reckless. Even though EM is promoted as consisting of “naturally-occurring microorganisms”, they may not occur naturally in the environments to which they are applied.

SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

The variety of claims made by EM proponents is astounding and borders on pseudoscience. Governments, corporations and organisations that promote or endorse the use of EM mudballs appear to be content to rely on anecdotal advice without examining the science behind EM mudballs. Even if EM Mudballs do work (and right now there is no evidence that they do), their positive effect on water quality, if any, is only fleeting. The problem of water pollution must be addressed at the source. No amount of mud balls and commercial products can help improve water quality if there is still discharge of wastewater, pollutants, industrial and agricultural runoffs and litter into our waterways. In order to improve the state of our rivers, waterways and beaches, Malaysians need to be proactive about reducing waste, managing solid and liquid waste efficiently, managing stormwater, reducing pollution and regulating industrial and agricultural waste, among others.

At your next beach or river cleanup, Green Living's advice to you is to focus on picking up litter and not waste your time and energy on fads and fallacies.

Negeri umno bn yg tercemar...? Pegi mampos lah hadap sendiri , sapa nak dengar rintihan dan keluhan bila susah... takder sapa amik tahu... pilih lah lagi umno bn... negeri tercemar kaa... takder air kaa.. merintih laa sendiri...

Lain lah kami penduduk negeri pr nih sangat2 beruntung, jiran sebelah terkentut pun bleh masuk buletin utama selama setengah jam, headline muka depan utusan, 10-15 tread kat forum cari pasal kerajaan selangor buat dinding nipis sampai jiran kentut leh dengar... trus dpt perhatian....

Hadap lah puas2 yer... undilah lagi...

Kesiannye rakyat malaysia ni..ada.hutan hujan yg cantik habis ditebang ganti dgn hutan konkrit..ada air sungai yg nyaman habis dicurah segala sampah sarap bahan buangan sisa toksid radioaktif bagai..ada pantai laut yg saujana mata memandag habis ditambaknye...kesian kesian kesian..

Acik genchi, tataw laa plak akak yang urang-urang Singapore dan JB ni,
... suatu ketika dolu amat rajin turun Selenger menangkap hudang galah.

Kesian Johor, tak dapat nama.
