The amount of MSMEs units about 99.99 percent of the overall number of business operators in Indonesia showed that MSMEs play a significant role in economic growth and development. At the same time, MSMEs cumulative contribution to environmental issues is not recorded MSMEs participation in the cleaner environment has not yet been noticed. Thus, the environmental management system for MSMes is crucial. This study is a literature review about the implementation of the ISO 14001 environmental management system in MSMEs, challenges and its future potential. The result and discussion discussed the case study of ISO 14001 implementation in Indonesia and other countries. Case studies from Indonesia and other countries showed that implementation of ISO 14001 is possible for MSMEs. The biggest challenges of its implementation is cost, the competence of employees, and resources available for the organization. An alternative for overcoming these challenges is implementing other models of EMS that is more suitable for MSMEs. The important aspects is the environmental awareness of the stakeholders and the internal and external drivers within the organization. Further studies can be done to research specific case studies of EMS such as ISO 14001 or AMEMs implementation in MSMEs. AbstrakJumlah unit UMKM sekitar 99,99 persen dari keseluruhan jumlah operator bisnis di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa UMKM memainkan peran penting dalam pertumbuhan dan perkembangan ekonomi. Pada saat yang sama, kontribusi kumulatif UMKM terhadap masalah lingkungan tidak dicatat. Partisipasi UMKM dalam lingkungan yang lebih bersih belum diperhatikan. Dengan demikian, sistem manajemen lingkungan untuk UMKM sangat penting. Studi ini adalah tinjauan literatur tentang penerapan sistem manajemen lingkungan ISO 14001 dalam UMKM, tantangan dan potensi masa depannya. Hasil dan diskusi membahas studi kasus implementasi ISO 14001 di Indonesia dan negara lain. Studi kasus dari Indonesia dan negara lain menunjukkan bahwa penerapan ISO 14001 dimungkinkan untuk UMKM. Tantangan terbesar dari implementasinya adalah biaya, kompetensi karyawan, dan sumber daya yang tersedia untuk organisasi. Alternatif untuk mengatasi tantangan-tantangan ini adalah menerapkan model EMS lain yang lebih cocok untuk UMKM. Aspek penting adalah kesadaran lingkungan dari para pemangku kepentingan dan pendorong internal dan eksternal dalam organisasi. Studi lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk meneliti studi kasus EMS tertentu seperti penerapan ISO 14001 atau AMEM di UMKM.

<p>As the first step to air pollution control and public health protection, Air quality monitoring systems provides information that indicate the extend of pollution in an area, the source of pollution and the types of pollutants. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate Jakarta’s air quality monitoring system by comparing it to the US, which participates in Indonesia’s air quality monitoring system by using their own system.  In specific, parameters such as air quality index, monitoring stations, regulation and data availability are to be compared through reviewing various literatures in detail.  The result obtained shows that the monitoring station amount is already ideal and complies to the U.S regulation. Indonesia’s ambient air quality standard need to be stricter and Air Pollutant Standard Index should include PM_2.5 as a parameter obtains significantly better results. Air quality data is available and accessible, although it needs to be integrated and provide real time information in a simple and effective way.</p>
