Abstract

This study aims to investigate the concentration of traffic air pollution and the level of testosterone, fasting glucose, cortisol, and lipid profile among traffic police in Jakarta. Testosterone plasma and blood biochemicals in traffic police and the police officer were analyzed using ELISA kit. Air quality data from the Regional Environmental Agency (BPLHD) Jakarta 2012 were used for the characterization of exposure. The analysis used a t-test and linear regression test to show the relationship levels of pollutants exposure with the effects of reproductive dysfunction (p<0.05). The average plasma levels of testosterone in the traffic police 543.6 ± 170.5 mg/dL, which is higher than the police at the office 456.2 ± 133.2 mg/dL. The average plasma cholesterol levels of police at the office is 212.3 ± 42.0 mg/dL, which is higher than the traffic police 200.0 ± 40.2 mg/dL. On average fasting glucose levels police at the office is 90.0 ± 13.1 mg/dL, while traffic police 84.2 ± 5.9 mg/dL. The testosterone levels of traffic police are higher than the official police, and traffic police exposed to pollutants have lower fasting glucose levels than police officers in offices. Keywords: PM, plasma testosterone, reproductive function.

Abstract

Particulate matter (PM) is an air pollutant that has an impact on public health, especially in an urban area. The objective of this study was to analyze the personal concentration of PM2.5 and its composition among police working in the roadside area in Jakarta. PM measurement has done to the policeman that controlled traffic on four near highway locations in Jakarta. Sioutas impactor, Leland Legacy personal pump, and quartz fiber filter were chosen to measure the fine particles. Each PM was measured for 8-hour period. PM concentration was analyzed by the gravimetric method while tracing element and black carbon in PM0.25 by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and EEL Smoke Stain Reflectometer. As a result, near highway PM2.5 concentration in Jakarta during weekdays and weekends measurement are 92.18 ± 10.66 μg/m3, and 78.09 ± 11.61 μg/m3. S, K, Fe, Ca, Zn, and Pb are major elements found in all locations. The black carbon concentration in all location was 17 ± 5.7 μg/m3. A high concentration of fine particles, a traffic-related trace element in PM0.25, and black carbon are showed that traffic-related source is the major contributor to a high level of fine particulate matter at near highway locations in Jakarta. The weekday's concentration of PM2.5 and PM0.25 among Jakarta Policemen was higher than in the weekend concentration. A particle with size of less than 0.25 µm dominated the fine particles concentration. Further researcher is expected to see the difference in the effects of traffic-related particulate matter exposure between traffic policeman and police who work at office.

Abstract

University X offers free drinking water facilities. However, it has a significant problem in accessing safe drinking water. This study aimed to examine the microbial and chemical parameters of the free drinking water facilities at University X. The microbial quality was assessed by evaluating the total coliform bacteria, and the chemical parameter assessment, substances such as nitrate, iron, manganese, hexavalent chromium, and fluoride were analyzed across 12 water samples from various locations within the university. Among these, only total coliform and fluoride levels exceeded the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indonesian Ministry of Health. An Environmental Health Risk Assessment was also conducted to discern potential health hazards among the 112 respondents. This study found no potential non-carcinogenic health risks associated with consuming water from the facilities. However, a sample in one location tested positive for total coliform, and the nitrate and manganese concentrations in another location did not meet the Indonesian Ministry of Health standards. The findings suggested that the free drinking water provided by University X is safe for consumption. Nonetheless, regular maintenance of the treatment facilities is needed to ensure that water quality remains suitable and clean.
