The rubber industry in the city of Lubuklinggau provides many benefits for residents
of the city of Lubuklinggau and the local government of Lubuklinggau. In addition
to the many benefits arising from the rubber industry. The Rubber Industry also has
a negative impact in the form of waste generated by rubber factories.The
environmental problems that occur in all countries in the world, both in developed
and developing countries are pollution.It is very important for the community
around the Musi River where the water is used for daily needs such as washing,
drinking water, bathing, washing clothes, washing dishes.Water pollution is the
entry or inclusion of living things, substances, energy, and / or other components
into water by human activities, so that the quality of water drops to a certain level
that causes water to not be able to function in accordance with its
designation.Water pollution can have a negative impact not only on humans, but
also on the environment Water pollution causes a negative impact on the food
chain. Disruption in the food chain occurs when poisons and pollutants in water
are consumed by aquatic animals (fish, shellfish, etc.) which are then consumed by
humans. The objectives to be achieved from this research are To find out the legal
aspects of environmental pollution protection due to rubber factory waste.To find
out the obstacles and solutions for environmental pollution protection due to rubber
factory waste. In the case of rubber processing, the plant itself produces liquid
waste and solid waste. Handling of liquid waste from PT. Bumi Beliti Abadi is
processed by being put into a tub of breast milk through an active sludge system.The
Office of the Environment as an element of implementing regional government tasks
in the environmental field has the task of protecting the environment so that it is
maintained and sustainable.The obstacle faced by the Department of the
Environment is the lack of resources human or employee at the Lubuklinggau City
Environment Agency that causes environmental protection to the waste-producing
factory in this case PT. Bumi Beliti Abadi is less effective, so the supervision
activities included in the protection carried out routinely are hampered.
