Abstract

Noise is a serious problem because it can have an impact on health, one of which is high blood pressure (hypertension). Noise can come from inside or outside the house. One source of noise from outside the house is traffic. Noise comes from the sound produced by motorized vehicles, especially from the engine, exhaust, and the interaction between the wheels and the road. This research aims to determine and analyze the relationship between noise intensity and blood pressure in the community around Bangkal Village. This research is observational analytic, using a cross-sectional design. Observations were made on 68 people, consisting of 40 people for the cluster on the side of the road and 28 people for the cluster 32 m from the road. Data were analyzed using the gamma correlation test. A sound level meter was used to collect noise data, a blood pressure meter was used to collect blood pressure data, and a questionnaire was used to collect respondent characteristics. The research results show that noise ranges between 46.6 dBA – 72.3 dBA. Twelve people (40%) suffered from high blood pressure, and 28 people (60%) had normal blood pressure. There is no significant relationship between noise intensity and blood pressure. This information is helpful for future researchers conducting further research by considering other variables or carrying out noise measurements in the house (indoors).

Abstract

This review aims to explore the impact of chemical contaminants other than nitrates, including nitrites, lead, mercury, and arsenic, on the risk of blue baby syndrome or methemoglobinemia in infants, as well as to identify the synergistic effects of multi-contaminant exposure. A literature search was performed on prominent scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, for articles published between 2010 and 2024. The review method involved selecting and assessing study quality using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. Extracted data included the chemical parameters studied, study design, sample size, and main outcomes. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to calculate odds ratios (OR) and relative risks (RR), as well as to evaluate heterogeneity between studies. From the 35 studies analyzed, the meta-analysis revealed that exposure to nitrites, lead, mercury, and arsenic significantly increased the risk of methemoglobinemia in infants. The results showed an OR of 4.8 (95% CI: 3.2-6.7) for nitrites, 3.5 (RR) (95% CI: 2.4-5.0) for lead, 2.9 (95% CI: 2.1-4.3) for mercury, and 3.9 (95% CI: 2.5-6.1) for arsenic. Furthermore, the combination of multi-contaminant exposure resulted in an OR of 6.5 (95% CI: 4.1-8.7) and demonstrated significant heterogeneity. This study highlights that chemical contaminants other than nitrates, including nitrites, lead, mercury, and arsenic, make a significant contribution to the increased risk of blue baby syndrome. The importance of comprehensive drinking water quality management and strict regulations on contaminant exposure is strongly emphasized.

Abstract

Air pollution is a global environmental problem that has the potential to have a negative impact on children's cognitive development. Scientific evidence suggests that exposure to air pollution, both during the prenatal and postnatal periods, is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize scientific evidence on the influence of air pollution exposure on children's cognitive development, highlighting the prenatal period and school age. Literature searches were conducted through various scientific databases with keywords related to air pollution and children's cognitive development. The studies included in this review are longitudinal and cross-sectional studies published in the last ten years. The results of the review showed that exposure to air pollution, both during pregnancy and childhood, could negatively impact IQ, working memory, attention, and other neurological development. Some studies had also explored the socioeconomic and environmental factors that contribute to children's vulnerability to the harmful effects of air pollution. These studies emphasize the need for interventing to reduce pollution exposure and improve children's health. This evidence confirms the importance of mitigation efforts to reduce exposure to air pollution in pregnant women and children to support optimal cognitive development. More research is needed to understand the biological mechanisms as well as their long-term impacts.

Abstract

Melayu Tengah Village is one of the villages located in East Martapura District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province. With strategic village potential, it has a connecting bridge with East Martapura District and other villages, the existence of Pukaha craftsmen, and community support for health. However, health problems still occur frequently, such as diarrhea and stunting. Banjar Regent H. Saidi Mansyur said that based on the results of the 2021 Indonesian toddler nutrition case study, the prevalence of stunting in Banjar Regency was 40.2%. (Banjar Regency Public Info, (20 May 2022). Even though the threshold set by the World Health Organization or WHO for stunting cases is only around 20 percent. Moreover, prevalence rates above around 30 percent are declared as 'red' status areas.   After the previous year the team carried out increased sanitation efforts, one of which was through increasing community knowledge in the target area of ​​ Melayu TengahVillage, East Martapura District, Banjar Regency, community service in 2024 will focus on interventions on environmental health aspects in the form of building faecal disposal facilities and household wastewater management. It is hoped that the stairs will become an example and even become a habit for the community in their daily lives, so that they can prevent the transmission of infectious diseases which have a further impact on the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia and worldwide. It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an acid-fast bacillus transmitted through airborne droplets. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of pulmonary TB in the working area of Puskesmas Tambang Ulang. An observational analytic study with a case-control design was conducted. A total of 45 respondents were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of 15 cases and 30 controls. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and Odds Ratio (OR) calculations. The results showed significant associations between pulmonary TB incidence and several factors: ventilation (p = 0.002; OR = 9.333), occupancy density (p = 0.003; OR = 9.750), humidity (p = 0.003; OR = 8.000), temperature (p = 0.001; OR = 11.000), physical contact (p = 0.006; OR = 6.417), and smoking habits (p = 0.001; OR = 11.000). These findings indicate that both environmental conditions and personal behaviors contribute to the risk of TB transmission. It is recommended that communities adopt preventive behaviors such as regularly opening windows for ventilation, avoiding physical contact with TB patients, and reducing smoking habits. These efforts are expected to support health promotion strategies and serve as a basis for targeted TB prevention programs in the community.

Abstract

This study analyzes global trends related to the impact of air pollution on brain health using the bibliometric method. Data was collected from the Scopus database with the keyword "air pollution AND brain health" in the 2013–2023 time frame, resulting in 200 publications that were analyzed using Harzing's Publish or Perish and visualized with VOSviewer. The analysis shows that the United States, China, and several European countries dominated the research contribution, with a significant increase in publications in 2020 and 2021. Keyword visualization identified key themes, including the impact of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on the risk of neurological disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's, as well as the link between air pollution and brain inflammation and mental health. Although this issue is increasingly relevant globally, similar research in Indonesia is still very limited, especially regarding the direct impact of air pollution on brain health. These limitations create significant opportunities for further studies focusing on Indonesia's population, especially in cities with high pollution levels. This study provides in-depth insights into the direction of global research and highlights the need for further studies in Indonesia, which can contribute to the development of evidence-based environmental health policies to reduce the impact of pollution on public health.

Abstract

Water is an essential resource that profoundly influences the quality of human life. In Indonesia, approximately 73.03% of the population continues to depend on water sourced from protected dug wells for their daily needs. This is particularly evident in Tambak Baru Ilir Village, located in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, where residents rely on dug well water as their primary source of potable water. However, the concentration of iron (Fe) in this water source often exceeds the acceptable threshold for drinking water quality, which is set at 0.2 mg/L, presenting a significant public health concern in the region. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the Cascade Aerator overflow system in mitigating Fe levels in dug well water. The research employed a purely experimental design utilizing a Pretest-Posttest Control Group framework, incorporating seven variations of aeration contact time ranging from 0 to 60 minutes. Measurements of Fe concentration, pH, and temperature were conducted, and the data were subjected to linear regression analysis. The findings revealed a substantial reduction in Fe levels, decreasing from 1.125 mg/L to 0.385 mg/L at a 60-minute contact duration, which corresponds to an efficiency reduction of 63%. Concurrently, the pH value increased from 6.3 to 7.8, and the temperature remained within acceptable limits. Regression analysis indicated a strong correlation between contact time and the reduction of Fe levels, with an R² value of 93.4%. Although the final Fe concentration did not meet established quality standards, the Cascade Aerator system demonstrates potential as a viable technology for the treatment of well water. Further advancements, such as the integration of filtration units or extending the contact time beyond 75 minutes, are recommended to enhance the effectiveness of this treatment method.
