Indonesia urged to use nuclear technology to tackle air pollution


Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has proposed a solution to address air pollution by using nuclear technology.

BRIN Research Professor Muhayatun Santoso said that nuclear technology can be a solution to overcome air pollution by characterizing hazardous particles in the air. Air pollution, she said, can be attributed to many different sources, including human activities and nature.

According to her, natural air pollution is derived from the amount of volcanoes in Indonesia and the country’s fire-prone nature. On the other hand, human activities such as transportation and industry also contribute a great deal to air pollution.

Muhayatun said there are already 17 locations of air pollution monitoring devices spread across several provinces and major cities in Indonesia. The air monitoring sensors provide air concentration data which consists of different particles. The proposed nuclear technique by BRIN will analyze this data to detect hazardous particles.

She added that BRIN has partnered with various countries with advanced technology to conduct air pollution research. In Asia-Pacific, BRIN collaborates with 22 countries and is included in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
