Abstract

Diseases can be spread directly or indirectly via unprocessed garbage. Garbage management is crucial if we want to reduce the negative effects that waste has on our health. The community of Pantai Gemi lacks waste-processing infrastructure. The Sanitation Service's inaccessible trash transportation system, which forces people to process waste on their own, is the root of this issue. One significant effort that can be made is to educate the community. This study sought to ascertain how public perception has changed as well as how much less inorganic and organic trash was being produced as a result of the extension intervention. A pre-test-post-test design with one group is used in this kind of research. All of the 2,179 family heads who make up the study's population make up its sample of 30 families. Seven respondents, according to data on changes in respondents' knowledge, report changes in their knowledge of waste management. The results of the normality test demonstrate the homogeneity of the waste generation statistics. The Dependent Sample T-Test method was used to examine waste generation. The analysis of the volume of inorganic waste yielded t = 0.00<0.05, indicating that intervention has an effect on decreasing the volume of inorganic waste in Pantai Gemi Village. The analysis of the weight loss of organic waste yielded t = 0.00<0.05, indicating that intervention has an effect on weight loss of organic waste in Pantai Gemi Village. Residents of Pantai Gemi Village should be given advice by the Department of Cleanliness and the Environment. For the Gemi Beach Village Apparatus to be able to connect the neighborhood's trash management efforts with relevant organizations. For Pantai Gemi Village inhabitants to become accustomed to and learn more about handling waste on their own.

Abstract

Air pollution and respiratory symptoms among operational staff at container terminal of PT. PELINDO Belawan might be caused by emission of PM₁₀ and CO from operational container trucks. This research aims to assess PM₁₀ and CO levels, also to investigate respiratory symptoms among operational staff at container terminal of PT. PELINDO Belawan. This is an observational research with cross-sectional design study. From a population of 699 individuals, 88 samples were obtained using purposive sampling technique. Air quality data was collected through direct measurements at three different locations, while respiratory symptoms data was gathered through staff interviews. PM₁₀ level at the container terminal had exceeded the standard limit, with the highest concentration recorded at the entrance gate, reaching 193 µg/Nm³. Whereas, CO level remained within the acceptable range. Trucks flow observation over a week revealed that the highest flow occurred on Tuesday, with 3,037 trucks, while the lowest flow was on Sunday, with a total of 223 trucks. Among the 88 respondents, 40 individuals (45.5%) experienced respiratory symptoms, with the most common complaint, reported by 25 individuals (65%), being runny or congested nose. Most respiratory symptoms occurred at unpredictable times, as reported by 35 individuals (39.8%). Container terminal of PT. PELINDO Belawan is recommended to enforce mask usage while working and respiratory health check-ups regularly for the operational staff to monitor respiratory health of the operational staff, as well as planting trees to mitigate pollutant levels in the air.

Abstract

Drinking water is vital for daily consumption and having physical qualities that meet health standards is critical. A study (Mason et al.) in 2018 at the University of New York showed that 93% of bottled drinking water contains microplastics. The study used 259 drinking water bottle samples, including those sold in Indonesia from 11 different brands and the size of microplastics found were between 6.5-100 micrometers. Furthermore, microplastics are also found in refillable gallon drinking water that could create microplastics fragments. This study was done to analyze the physical qualities and presence of microplastics in bottled and refillable gallon drinking water in Medan Selayang in 2023. This was a descriptive study with observational and interview methods. There were 12 water samples obtained from simple random sampling. Our study showed that the drinking water physical qualities has met the health standards (100%) as per the regulation of Ministry of Health (Permenkes No.2, 2023). However, the equipment condition in all drinking water depots did not meet the health standards (100%). The processing and cleaning in the drinking water depots have all met the health standards (100%). All samples from drinking water depots contained microplastics in the form of fibers and fragments per liter. It is recommended for water depots in Medan Selayang to pay more attention to the quality of drinking water through physical, chemical, and biological parameters, and to do periodical examination of the water through the public health office.
