Abstract

The government and water supply companies, such as Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM), have the responsibility to ensure the availability of safe and quality drinking water. Regular external monitoring is necessary to ensure that the drinking water provided by PDAM meets established health and safety standards. PDAM Tirta Benteng and PDAM Tirta Kerta Raharja operates in Tangerang City, is responsible for providing safe and quality drinking water to the community. This research went through the stages of sampling, testing the quality of drinking water samples, and analysis using descriptive statistical methods. The evaluation covers aspects such as sampling methods, frequency of testing, and laboratory analyses used. The study also explores the impact of the evaluation results on improving drinking water quality and the improvement measures that can be implemented. This is important not only to ensure that the public gets safe drinking water but also to support transparency and accountability in the provision of drinking water services by public institutions. The comprehensive evaluation is hoped to provide a valuable contribution to efforts to monitor and improve the quality of drinking water in Tangerang City and serve as a basis for developing more effective policies in safeguarding public health through the provision of safe and quality drinking water.

Abstract

The brick industry sector has the capacity to generate pollution in the form of harmful dust particles that can adversely affect the environment and workers health. The research uses a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design, cross sectional study. In addition, researchers conducted an analysis of risk factors related to respondent obiter total dust particulate levels, inhaled dust levels, working duration, exposure duration, and the utilization of personal protective equipment. The measurement results showed the average total dust level was 1748.47 µg/Nm3 and the average respirable dust level of 75 respondents was 4.56 mg/m3. This increases the risk of respiratory symptoms such as coughing, coughing up phlegm, and shortness of breath. Variables associated with respiratory symptoms were inhaled dust levels (p=0.023), working period (p=0.040), exposure duration (p=0.032), and use of personal protective equipment (p=0.015). The multivariate test resulted in four significant variables: inhaled dust level (p=0.022), working period (p=0.039), exposure duration (p=0.029), and use of personal protective equipment (p=0.023). In conclusion, the combination of inhaled dust levels, longer work periods, exposure duration, and inadequate use of PPE increased respiratory symptoms in workers by 99.5%.

Abstract

Black mold is a type of fungus that produces dangerous toxins known as mycotoxins, which can enter the body through inhalation, skin contact, or consumption of contaminated food. This fungus thrives in damp and dark environments and can cause various symptoms, including respiratory irritation such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, or difficulty breathing and skin problems such as rashes or itching. The research method employs a literature review approach using databases including Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, SpringerLink, JSTOR, PlosONE, Google Scholar, and SINTA. This study examines the potential health risks of black mold, focusing on environmental exposure, vulnerable populations, health effects, and remediation strategies. The literature review reveals that black mold exposure frequently occurs in damp indoor spaces. Populations at greater risk include children, the elderly, individuals with weakened immune systems, and those with chronic respiratory diseases. Health effects range from mild symptoms, such as eye and nasal irritation, to severe conditions like lung infections and neurological disorders, especially with prolonged exposure. This study concludes that black mold poses significant health risks and emphasizes the importance of prevention and timely remediation to address indoor mold contamination.
