Abstract

This study aims to determine the wastewater management system at Bhayangkara Hospital, Palu. In carrying out their activities, hospitals produce liquid waste that can interfere with health. If not handled properly, it will cause harm to society and the environment. The research results at Bhanyangkara Hospital in Palu show that the wastewater management system already has many filters and other control tanks. A cover has accompanied each tub, channeled through an open channel, closed channel, the building is watertight, and the water flows smoothly. , already has a Flow Meter device but does not have a fat catcher, especially in the nutrition room, liquid waste in the Laboratory room at the third party to PT. Tenang Jaya Sejahtera until its destruction, the Radiology room has used the CR System, so there is no wastewater because it has used the tool, carries out primary and secondary treatment and supplies tools for treating liquid waste are still not available such as daily pH tools, pH tools handy for measuring the level of acidity/base of a liquid and besides that for the Flow Meter tool is readily available. Suggestions are expected that this study's results are used as input and become useful information, especially for Bhayangkara Hospital in Palu and the people living around Bhayangkara Hospital in Palu to know the impact of wastewater management.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the chlorine content (Cl2) in rice at the Manonda Inpres Market in Palu by conducting laboratory tests. This type of research is a descriptive study with an observational approach. This research describes the examination of chlorine content (Cl2) in rice at the Manonda Inpres Market in Palu through laboratory tests. The object of this research is the total of 15 rice merchandise samples scattered in the Manonda Inpres Market, Palu. The results showed that the 15 rice samples were declared non-reactive, which means that all samples did not contain chlorine (Cl2). This study suggests that health agencies are expected to carry out health and food safety checks of hazardous food additives, in particular routine checks of chlorine (Cl2) content in rice.

Abstract

Introduction: Water hardness caused by high concentrations of calcium carbonate is a persistent problem in many groundwater-dependent communities, including Palu City, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Excessive hardness reduces water acceptability, increases household maintenance costs, and contributes to scaling in pipes and storage systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two locally available organic-waste materials—durian peel charcoal and coconut shell charcoal—as low-cost biofilter media for reducing calcium carbonate concentrations in household well water. Method: A laboratory-based experimental design was applied using batch adsorption methods. Groundwater samples with an initial calcium carbonate concentration of 568 milligrams per litre were treated with varying masses of each adsorbent and different contact times. The study examined combinations of adsorbent mass and exposure time to determine optimal operating conditions. Calcium carbonate levels before and after treatment were measured using standard titration techniques to assess removal efficiency. Results: The results demonstrated that both organic-waste biofilters were capable of substantially lowering hardness levels. Durian peel charcoal achieved its best performance at a moderate adsorbent mass and short contact time, showing rapid adsorption kinetics and high affinity for hardness-related ions. Coconut shell charcoal also produced significant reductions but required greater mass and longer contact time to reach optimal effectiveness. The findings confirmed that adsorption performance was nonlinear and strongly influenced by operational parameters, material characteristics, and initial contaminant concentration. Comparison of the two media indicated that each possesses distinct advantages, highlighting the importance of context-specific optimisation for practical application. Conclusion: Overall, the study shows that transforming locally abundant agricultural wastes into biofilter media offers a feasible and affordable strategy for decentralised water treatment. The research contributes new comparative evidence on the use of durian peel and coconut shell charcoal for hardness reduction and supports their potential use in household-scale systems. If validated under field conditions, these findings may support the development of affordable household-scale strategies for improving the acceptability of drinking water in resource-limited communities.
