A 5-year old boy who was poisoned by lead during his landlord's attempts to clear his apartment of lead-based paint will receive up to $1.5 million over his lifetime from the landlord's insurance company. The boy has attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity. In reports filed with the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, doctors said the disorder had either been caused by the lead poisoning or had been made worse by it. ...In the summer of 1991, the city health department discovered that the boy's blood contained lead levels that were three times the Federal health standard. In June 1992, the city ordered the owners of the apartment building, a converted 65-year-old frame house, to begin removing the lead-based paint. But instead of alleviating the victim's problem, their scraping of the paint spread lead dust throughout the home. As a result, lead levels increased to eight times the Federal standard. The family sued, contending negligence.

ABSTRAK. Ameliorasi iklim adalah salah satu manfaat yang diberikan alam khususnya tumbuhan terhadap lingkungan hidup, dengan cara meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan untuk menjamin tersedianya lingkungan yang sehat. Salah satunya adalah dengan menyediakan oksigen (O2) untuk kebutuhan pernafasan dan meminimalisir gas buang kendaraan bermotor yang beracun seperti gas carbon monooksida (CO) dan debu timbal (Pb). Kedua zat beracun ini sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia, khususnya yng berada disekitar jalan raya dan sekitar kawasan industri.Green belt adalah salah satu desain penghijauan yang fungsi utamanya adalah untuk mengurangi debu pencemaran ini. Yang diuji dalam penelitian ini adalah efektifitas desain green belt di sisi jalan raya dalam menangkap atau menjerap partikel (debu) polusi yang ditimbulkan oleh kendaraan bermotor. Fakta dalam percobaan yang dilkukan menunjukkan, bahwa bentuk struktur tajuk dan luas penampang daun sangat menentukan efektifitas dari penyerapan debu polusi. Daun yang mempunyai permukaan yang lebih luas dan mempunyai permukaan yang kasar, mempunyai nilai efektifitas yang tinggi. Begitu juga dengan pohon yang bertajuk rapat dan lebat akan sangat efektif dalam menjerap debu polusi atau polutan. Dalam hal ini, untuk desain green belt, diperlukan beberapa pertimbangan untuk efektifitas dalam mengurangi polusi udara. Yaitu pemilihan jenis vegetasi yang mempunyai daun yang lebar dan kasar serta pemilihan jenis struktur tajuk pohon yang disesuaikan dengan lokasi green belt tetapi dipilih yang rimbun dan lebat.Kata kunci: Ameliorasi iklim, vegetasi, penyerapan dan polusiABSTRACT. Climate amelioration is one of the many benefit from that nature, particularly plant that, provides to the environment, by enhancing quality of environment and guaranting the provision of healthy environment. For example is by providing oxygen (O2) for respiration and minimalizing toxic gas such as carbon monoxide (CO) and lead dust (Pb) emitted by vehicle. Both mentioned are toxic substances which highly dangerous for human health, especially for those residing around streets and industrial areas.Green belt is a greening design having main function to reduce pollution dust. This research tested the effectiveness of green belt on side roads in catching or absorbing pollution dust or particles emitted by vehicles. Facts from this research showed that the shape of canopy structure and leaves’ cross sectional area highly determine the effectiveness of pollution dust absorpsion. Leaves with wider surface area and rough texture have high effectiveness. Trees having dense canopy and bushy are very effective in absorpsion of pollution dust. In this case, to design a green belt will required a few considerations that are affecting effectiveness in reducing air polution. Namely, selection of vegetation that has wide and rough leaves and type selection of tree canopy structure that is dense and bushy and suitable to green belt location.Keywords : climate amelioration, vegetation, absorpsion and pollution
