Abstrak: Vehicles are one of factors causing air pollution. The dustfalls (DF) and suspended particles (TSP) are components that should be concerned in the ambient air quality management. The purpose of the research were to measure the generation of DF and TSP due to the number of vehicles, to analyze their correlation and DF size distribution as influenced by traffic activity. This research used gravimetric method. The analysis of DF concentration was based on SNI 13-4703-1998 and TSP concentration based on SNI 19-7119.3-2005. DF concentration was measured with Dustfall Canister, TSP concentration was measured with High Volume Air Sampler (HVAS) and DF size distribution was observed with a microscope. The concentration of DF in three sampling location had range around 0.4-11.5 ton/km2.month, while the concentration of TSP was 75.9-190.6 μg /Nm3. DF and vehicles showed negative correlation in three observation locations while TSP and vehicles showed positive correlation in Dramaga and Atang Sendjaja. The results of DF size distribution in three sampling location at a distance of 10 m from the road were dominated by the size of DF more than 10 μm, whereas at distances of 15 m and 20 m from the road were dominated by the size of DF of 2.5-10 μm.

Abstrak: The increasing vehicle usage contributes to the rise of dustfall (DF) and suspended particles (TSP) concentration. The purpose of this study was to measure the generation of DF and TSP due to the number of vehicles (JK) and to analyze their correlation. This study was conducted on four roads,namely Ciomas, Dramaga,Sindang Barang and RE Abdullah roads. The study was conducted by installing dustfall canister for 24 hours.High volume air sampler was operated for 60 minutes simultaneously with traffic counting. The DF generation at four sampling points were less than 1 ton/km2.month. The range of TSP generation on Ciomas, Dramaga, Sindang Barang, and RE Abdullah were 57-243, 37-86, 37-177, 60-117 μg/Nm3 respectively. The significant value (α) between DF generation and JK type I in the morning was 0.037, type II in the morning was 0.002, type III in the morning was 0.031, type III was 0.001 in the night and type VI b was 0.009 The significant value between TSP generation and type III in the night was 0.002, type III total was 0.001, type VI a was 0.04 and type VI b was 0.019.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii).
Abstrak: Buaya sepit atau senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan jenis buaya asli Indonesia yang berhabitat di sungai-sungai Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan juga pedalaman Sulawesi. Salah satu ciri khas buaya senyulong adalah bentuk moncong yang runcing dan sempit, namun hingga saat ini informasi mengenai struktur skelet kepala buaya senyulong sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet kepala buaya senyulong yang dikatikan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melakukan pengamatan, pencatatan, dan pengambilan gambar dari skelet kepala buaya senyulong. Skelet kepala berukuran panjang 70 cm, lebar 29 cm, dan tingggi 17 cm dengan permukaan kasar pada os nasale, os frontale, os maxilla, os mandibula, os lacrimale, os jugale. Jumlah gigi pada buaya ini sebanyak 78 buah, terdiri dari 4 buah gigi premaxila, 16 buah gigi maxila, dan 19 buah gigi mandibula. Pada regio orbitalis ditemukan dua pasang fenestrae temporales yang berkembang baik. Fenestra supratemporale merupakan lubang oval yang membentang di sepanjang os parietale. Fenestra infratemporale berbentuk segitiga dan dibatasi oleh os squamosum, os postorbitale, os jugulare, dan os quadratum. Os mandibula hewan ini mempunyai symphysis mandibularis yang panjang yaitu garis yang melintang di corpus mandibulae. Secara fungsional ukuran symphysis mandibularis berkaitan dengan adaptasi hewan terhadap diet makan.
