Abstract

Noise may cause serious health problems, including physiological responses, specifically in the cardiovascular system. This study aims to assess occupational noise exposure and analyze the correlation between occupational noise and blood pressure in cabin and station personnel. The participants were 30 cabin personnel (train drivers) and 30 station personnel. The cabin had a Leq of 90.3 dBA while the noise level at Poncol Station was still below the threshold limit value (TLV), i.e., 75.8 dBA. The noise exposure assessment also included noise exposure profiling. The Chi-square test showed that noise influenced systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes. Furthermore, for train drivers, the t-test showed a difference in systolic and diastolic between before and after the activity. As for station personnel, there was a difference in systolic, but contrarily it was not the case in diastolic. According to the noise profile, the train whistle had the most significant noise level at 120 dBA. Moreover, the use of a train whistle regularly may raise the noise level exposure to cabin staff and even station workers. This study contributes to scientific evidence that occupational noise might affect blood pressure

Abstract

The meatball tofu industry in Sendangguwo Village, Semarang City, is a micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) with unique characteristics. It operates as a meat processing unit sourcing raw tofu externally. Its intensive animal protein processing generates liquid waste with a very high organic load. This study aims to analyze the liquid waste quality based on TSS, pH, BOD, and COD parameters, evaluating compliance with recent regulations. The research employs a quantitative descriptive method with longitudinal sampling at three points: upstream (X1), waste convergence point (X2), and downstream (X3). Analyses were conducted in an accredited environmental laboratory using SNI methods. Results indicate the Sendangguwo River's water quality significantly exceeds the Class II standards of Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. At the discharge point (X2), BOD reached 107.25 mg/L and COD 143.29 mg/L. While statistically below the emission limits for the Meat Processing Industry under Central Java Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2012, technical analysis confirms the raw effluent concentration breaches regulations before river dilution. The river's water quality is categorized as "Heavily Polluted," necessitating interventions like grease traps and communal wastewater treatment systems.
