Abstract

Introduction: Indoor air pollution, causing health issues like Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), is the third largest global contributor to disability-adjusted life years, emphasizing the urgent need for improved indoor air quality. This study aimed to determine the association between Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and SBS among workers at food outlets in Selangor, Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 107 workers in mall, new and old food outlet. A set of standardized and validated version questionnaires of the Industry Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality (ICOP IAQ) 2010 was distributed to obtain respondents’ sociodemographic information, symptoms present at the workplace, and psychosocial information. Results and Discussion: The study found significant differences in temperature (p = 0.004), air velocity (p = 0.037), ultrafine particles (p = 0.005), and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations (p = 0.006) in malls, new and old food outlets. Workers in old food outlets had the highest prevalence of SBS (66.7%), compared to those in new outlets (60.5%) and mall outlets (64.7%). Environmental characteristics, such as increased dust and particulate matter during renovation (OR = 6.17, 95% CI = 1.34-28.34), repair (OR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.03-5.76), along with temperature variations (OR = 7.21, 95% CI = 2.52-20.66) significantly influencing SBS. Conclusion: SBS prevalence in food outlets is not significantly linked to IAQ parameters, but exposure to UFP and PM2.5 may contribute to its development. However, it is significantly associated with workplace renovations and repairs for interior design, as well as varying temperatures.

Abstract

Introduction: Sulfur dioxide is an air pollutant that is mostly sourced from burning fossil fuels. Data from the Pomalaa Health Center in 2019 indicates a high incidence of Acurate Respiratory Infection (ARI), with 1,943 reported cases. This study aims to assess the respiratory health risk for communities near the nickel processing plant in Pomalaa District. Methods: This research employs an observational cross-sectional design alongside Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA), the study sampled 122 out of 13,207 respondents using simple random sampling. The analysis was carried out with the kolmogorov-smirnov test and EHRA. Results and Discussion: EHRA results show an inhalation rate of 0.63 m3/hour, with an exposure time of 24 hours/day, an exposure frequency of 365 days/year, and exposure durations of 25 years for real-time projections and 30 years for lifetime projections. SO2 levels have surpassed national quality standards, with the highest concentration recorded at Point 4, measuring 0.576 mg/m3. Dose-response analysis, based on US-EPA data, indicates a level of 0.21 mg/m3. The average intake value for real-time exposure is 0.081 mg/kg/day, and the average intake value for 30-year lifetime is also 0.081 mg/kg/day. Kolmogorov-smirnov test results show a p-value of 0.200 for body weight, while p-values for exposure duration, exposure time, exposure frequency, SO2 concentration, intake rate, age group, intake value, and RQ are all 0.000. Conclusion: Most respondents in this study had health risks that were within safe limits. Nickel processing plant companies and local governments should conduct regular monitoring and control emissions from mining activities, including SO2

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) cases in Indonesia are the second rank after India. This necessitates an investigation into behavior, communal norms, habits, and facilities present in educational institutions, particularly Islamic boarding schools.  The objectives of this study examined the above-mentioned aspects concerning the prevention of TB in Islamic boarding schools with or without Puskestren or Islamic boarding school health post contributions. This studywasconductedatDarulMuttaqienand Jam’iyyah Islamiyyah Islamic Boarding Schools. For quantitative: parameter scores are accumulated and compared significantly between the two Islamic boarding schools using an independent test (CI:95%,α:0.05), focusing on assessing the environments of the Islamic boarding schools, student questionnaires, and indoor air quality measurements, including humidity, lighting, temperature,inaccordancewithPermenkes1077/2011. Qualitative in-depth interviews are used through health ethnography (traditions and value assessments). The result is that activating Poskestren for Islamic boarding schools has a better impact on implementing clean and healthy living behavior and preventing disease, especially TB.

Abstract

Background: Quality of life is an important. It is influenced by exposure to chemicals in the body, such as air pollution, which can damage supporting life in the future. Objective: The aim of writing this systematic review is to specify the impact of air pollution on DNA methylation. Methods: The method in this study uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses, this methode is carried out by searching for data in the form of articles or journals, which is carried out using the keywords "Air pollution" and "DNA methylation". Overall data from articles or jurnals based on searches using the keywords "Air pollution" and "DNA Methylation" (n=25), data from articles or journals focused on this research and articles or journals that can be accessed for free with the year publication year in the last 10 years (n=20), after which they are adjusted to the inclusion criteria of this study (n=15). Result: In this study, the results of the systematic review were obtained that this long-term impact will affect a person's quality of life, apart from that, it can also cause serious complications such as repeated respiratory infections, which can lead to decreased lung function and a higher risk of death. Conclusion: DNA is a logical tool for understanding the impact of air pollution on genome function and downstream activities that benefit health.
