Abstract

Increased volumes of domestic hazardous waste, especially during the pandemic, pose a serious challenge to health and the environment. In Medokan Ayu Village, Surabaya City, ineffective waste management has the potential to harm the community and the environment. Therefore, this community service activity aims to train housewives in identifying and managing domestic B3 waste in a safe and integrated manner. The method applied includes three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. In the implementation stage, socialization, training on waste sorting and labeling, and assistance in establishing waste banks were conducted through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. The evaluation results showed that 90% of the participants could practice B3 waste management correctly. In addition, 7 waste banks were formed in each RT that support waste management and provide economic benefits, with an income of up to Rp300,000 per RT. In conclusion, this activity succeeded in increasing community awareness and skills in effectively managing hazardous waste. This model can be replicated to support sustainable waste management in other areas.

Abstract

Purpose: E-waste is among the most rapidly increasing types of waste worldwide. This paper aims to systematise the existing literature and explore future research prospects on the effect of e-waste on urban health. Methods: This systematic review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines. This literature search utilized articles available in the ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, published within the last ten years (2014-2024), to explore the relationship between e-waste and urban health. Results: E-Waste poses serious environmental and health risks, especially in areas with weak regulations and poor waste management. Exposure to hazardous substances through air, soil, and water, such as lead, mercury, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), can lead to respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurodevelopmental issues. Informal recycling worsens these risks, particularly for workers and nearby communities. Weak enforcement, economic barriers, and low public awareness further exacerbate the problem. Effective mitigation includes extended producer responsibility (EPR), formal recycling systems, and a circular economy. Urgent action is needed through stronger policies, enforcement, and awareness; future research should focus on developing sustainable e-waste solutions. Conclusion: Our findings underscore the urgent need for integrated e-waste management policies and practices to safeguard urban public health and mitigate the adverse effects of e-waste exposure. This review lays the groundwork for future research aimed at understanding and addressing the complex health challenges posed by e-waste in urban environments.

Abstract

Introduction: Mount Semeru experienced a pyroclastic flow in 2021. Volcanic material was observed heading towards Lumajang Regency. Natural resources and the environment were significantly affected by the eruption of Mount Semeru. The eruption can have both short-term and long-term impacts on the surrounding natural resources and environment. In 2023, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in collaboration with Master of Disaster Management, Postgraduate School of Universitas Airlangga (MDM PGS UNAIR) implemented the Assistance for Recovery and Productivity Improvement of Natural Resources and Environment (ARPINRE) program in the areas affected by the Mount Semeru eruption, namely Lumajang Regency, East Java Province. This article aims to report the results of the ARPINRE program in Lumajang Regency.Methods: The disaster-prone area assistance was carried out based on various theories and approaches related to disaster management. These include Disaster Management, Water, Air, Sanitation, and Health (WASH) along with indicators from SPHERE.Results: Before conducting the assistance, the team conducted a study of inventory and prioritization of issues. Technical guidance activities were conducted as a follow-up to the established interventions. There were three technical guidance (I, II, III). Based on the results of pre-tests and post-tests distributed to technical guidance participants, as well as interviews with the self-sustaining community (SSC), it was concluded that there was an increase in public understanding of the importance of waste sorting and management through Integrated Waste Management Sites (IWMS) and the importance of biopores as a means of water conservation and composting. Stimulus provision, an integral part of this activity, was also carried out alongside technical guidance III. Evaluation results showed an increase in the average pre-test score from 52.67 to 65.33 in the post-test.Conclusions: Despite this increase, the average score remained low. Continued socialization about solid waste management is necessary.
