Abstract

Background. Air pollution is the result of household waste responsible for 3.8 million death and 7.7% of all mortality over the world. One air pollutant which tends to increase year by year is carbon monoxide (CO). CO is produced as the result of the imperfect combustion of machines and the combustion of charcoal. The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between CO level in exhaled air and pulmonary function on grill street-vendors in Medan city. Method: This study is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were grill in Medan city who fulfilled certain inclusion and exclusion criteria with the consecutive sampling method. This study data is primary data which is collected using a questionnaire, smokerlyzer, and spirometry. Result: The subjects of this study are 25 grill street-vendors. Most subjects in this study have red (40%) and green (32%) zone in CO exhaled test and as in pulmonary function test, restrictive (56%) and mixed-type (40%) are the most. The Spearman correlation result between CO level in exhaled air and pulmonary function  FEV1 and FVC are not significant (p=0.068 and p=0.251). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between CO levels in exhaled air and pulmonary function

Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are quite a big problem and are still often found in society. Intestinal parasitic infections are caused by infections of intestinal protozoa and intestinal nematodes. Intestinal parasitic infections can result in a decline in an individual's health, nutrition, intelligence and productivity. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and good personal hygiene have an important role in reducing the transmission of parasites from soil to humans, both through eggs, larvae and adult parasites, especially for waste workers who have direct contact with infectious environments. In the city of Medan, the final disposal site used is TPA Terjun. Every day, TPA Terjun receives waste from various areas in the city of Medan. Workers are at high risk of being infected by intestinal parasites that spread through the soil. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the habit of using PPE and personal hygiene with the incidence of intestinal parasite infections in waste workers at TPA Terjun Medan. Methods: This study included 121 subjects from TPA Terjun, Medan. This research used cross-sectional approach. Result: This study found that there was no correlation between the use of gloves, masks, protective clothing and protective shoes on the incidence of intestinal infections in waste workers at TPA Terjun Medan, also between personal hygiene and the incidence of intestinal parasite infections in waste workers at TPA Terjun Medan. Conclusion: The use of PPE is important to prevent the transmission of intestinal parasitic infections to workers at TPA Terjun, Medan.
