Abstract

Land pollution by B3 waste can have an impact on human health, the environment and even the sustainability of natural resources. In 2021, Indonesia produced around 60 tons of B3 waste from the industrial sector. In several industrial sectors, it was reported that several workers complained of health problems due to soil contamination by B3 waste. Some of the health impacts that may arise due to B3 waste pollution are acute to chronic health problems, skin and respiratory tract irritation, and decreased quality of life due to decreased health conditions. Therefore, effective B3 waste management is needed to prevent environmental pollution and protect human health.

Abstract

Peningkatan kesadaran tentang air bersih di sekolah adalah langkah fundamental untuk menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang sehat. Pengelolaan air bersih tidak hanya bermanfaat bagi kesehatan individu tetapi juga mendukung keberlanjutan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi tentang pentingnya air bersih melalui pengenalan teknologi pengolahan dan pengukuran kualitas air bagi siswa sekolah di malaysia. Edukasi ini diberikan pada siswa dari beberapa sekolah terpilih yaitu Sekolah Kebangsaan Guar Jentik, Sekolah Kebangsaan Islam 1, Sekolah Kebangsaan Paya, dan Sekolah Kebangsaan Kubang Gajah yang terletak di Negeri Perlis, Malaysia. Edukasi ini dilakukan melalui dua tahap yaitu seminar tentang pentingnya air bersih bagi siswa dan teknologi sederhana yang bisa diterapkan untuk pemurnian air dan dilanjutkan untuk tahap kedua tentang pendampingan pengukuran kualitas air yang ada di sekitar sekolah. Pengabdian masyarakat masyarakat ini telah berhasil memberikan edukasi dan meningkatkan kesadaran tentang pentingnya air bersih bagi siswa dan telah berhasil memperkenalkan beberapa teknologi sederhana untuk proses pemurnian air.

Abstract

The quest for alternative methods is driven by the need to provide expertise in real time in biological fields such as medicine, pathogenic bacteria and viruses identification, food protection, and quality control. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) are examples of traditional methods that have some limitations and lengthy procedures. Biosensors are the most appealing option because they provide easy, dependable, fast, and selective detection systems compared to conventional methods. This review provides an overview of electrochemical genosensor based biosensor diagnostic system for infectious diseases detection as well as their applications, demonstrating their utility as a fast and responsive tool for detecting pathogenic bacteria, viruses, GMOs, and human diseases.

Abstract

A preliminary morphological screening and isolation of bacterial colony from latex industrial wastewater was carried out. Bacteria colonies from latex processing wastewater were isolated from a local latex processing industry. It was found that 17 bacterial isolates had been purified grown on nutrient agar under 35˚C. The colonies were then purified and morphologically indicated via Gram staining and motility test. After morphological observation, it was identified that out of 17 isolates, 9 isolates were Gram positive and 8 isolates were Gram negative. There are 11 out of 17 colonies were rod-shaped bacterial colonies, while the other 6 colonies were cocci-shaped bacteria. There were 11 colonies of gliding bacteria, three colonies were non-motile bacteria and the other three colonies were flagellated bacteria. This study is only limited to morphological observation as the main aim of this study was to investigate the potential occurrence of viable growth in treated latex processing wastewater. The bacterial colonies were classified base on their morphological properties shown. This study has classified several genera such as Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Thiobacillus, Arthrobacter and other Genus. The growth curve of 17 isolates studied and the chemical oxygen demand were determined.

Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is wastewater generated by palm oil milling. Due to its extremely polluting qualities, it must be treated before being discharged into the water course. This study was aimed to evaluate the bacterial growth of raw and treated POME as well as identifying indigenous microorganisms by determining the morphological characteristics of bacteria that were found in the POME. The bacterial growth was identified by bacterial enumeration of colony forming units (CFU). Besides, the morphological identification of bacteria was determined by using gram staining. The results show the best bacterial growth curve is from serial dilution factor of 10-6 with a total of 2.24 x 10-6 CFU/mL in raw POME and optimum growth on day seven. While for the treated POME, the total is 1.97 x 10-6 CFU/mL and recorded the optimum growth on day ten of incubation. The growth curve indicates the number of colonies in raw POME is higher than treated POME. It concluded that treated POME still has the bacteria although it has been treated. Apart from that, from the morphological identification by gram staining, the bacteria were Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus. From a gram staining, this research obtained all gram positive in purple colour from the POME samples. Two of them in treated POME were in Bacillus shape while the other two from raw and treated POME were in coccus shape, respectively.
