Abstract

The availability of abundant groundwater and easy access are the main reasons why people rely on well water to meet their daily needs. However, the use of well water without adequate treatment has the potential to pose a health risk considering that the quality of groundwater is greatly influenced by environmental conditions such as waste pollution. This study aims to examine several preferences for natural coagulants used to improve the quality of well water so that they have the potential to replace synthetic coagulants which are known to have negative impacts on health. The method used in this study is a Systematic Literature Review sourced from the Google Scholar database through the Publish or Perish and Mendeley applications. Based on the results of the review of literature relevant to the topic, it was found that biocoagulants sourced from pineapple skin, a combination of tamarind and mangrove roots, aloe vera and winged bean seeds have been proven to be effective in improving the quality of well water by reducing turbidity levels and the content of metal compounds (Fe) and dangerous anions (Cl). Thus, well water that has gone through a purification process has the potential to be used as clean water to meet daily needs. Keywords: Well water; Biocoagulant; Water quality; Pollution; Sanitation

Abstract

The increase in community health center services is one of the factors that triggers the rate of hazardous and toxic waste generation. The resulting medical waste has the potential to pollute the environment and become a source of disease transmission if not managed in accordance with applicable regulations. This study aims to evaluate the practice of hazardous and toxic waste management in community health centers from various regions in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The data used in this study are published scientific articles sourced from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish and Mendeley. Based on the results of the literature review, it was found that the management of hazardous and toxic waste in community health centers in several regions is still not running optimally. This is reflected in the continued discovery of waste mixing, limited facilities, and low compliance with waste management procedures. This is exacerbated by the lack of knowledge and training of waste processing officers who pose a risk to health and environmental pollution. Thus, improvements are needed in all aspects of input, process, and output in the management of hazardous and toxic waste in community health centers.

Abstract

Formalin is a hazardous chemical that is banned from use in food, but is still found in imported fruit. Traders have an important role in preventing the circulation of food with formaldehyde, so the knowledge of traders about the dangers of formaldehyde needs to be studied. Objective: This study aims to determine the knowledge of traders and formalin content in imported fruit sold in X Market, Palembang City in 2025. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The population in this study were all imported fruit traders in X Market totaling 9 people who served as respondents. The fruit samples tested were 24 samples consisting of apples, pears, and grapes. Data were collected through questionnaires and laboratory tests using formalin test kit. Results: The results showed that all traders (100%) had a good level of knowledge about formalin. Of the 24 fruit samples tested, 21 samples (87.5%) did not contain formalin and 3 samples (12.5%) showed positive results, all of which were from grapes. Conclusion: The majority of traders had good knowledge about formaldehyde, but formaldehyde was still found in some imported fruits, especially grapes.
