Abstract

Using masks has become popular as an effort to prevent COVID-19. This increased the public consumption of masks. But in practice, this effort might cause other problems. The survey arranged to observe the potential contamination form from using masks. Specifically, the inappropriate procedure to use and remove the used one. This descriptive study is a cross-sectional study. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire filled in by 152 respondents aged ≥15-years-old who lived in the Jabodetabek area through a link shared online on various social media. Worked at the healthcare facility was the exclusion criteria for the participants. Fabric masks were the most commonly used. The majority replaced mask with the new or clean one once a day. Touched outer side of masks was the habit of most participants with lack of hand-hygiene practice. Potential self-contamination from inhaling pathogens, direct or indirect, released by the infected person when coughing, sneezing, even when talking, sourced themselves or others. Environmental contamination could occur due to lack of hand hygiene practice before wear masks, and after-touch while in use and after-remove it. Hence, educate the community for proper procedure use of masks and hand hygiene practice is necessary to prevent contamination and spread of diseases.

Abstract

One of the highest clusters of COVID-19 cases in DKI Jakarta is the office cluster, attributed to the lack of compliance among employees with health protocols. The potential transmission to employees' families exacerbates the situation, even leading to temporary workplace closures. An initial survey revealed that 53.3% of employees do not adhere to COVID-19 health protocols in the workplace. This study aims to evaluate the compliance level with health protocols, mask usage, and mask waste management among formal sector workers in DKI Jakarta. The research follows a descriptive method with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected via Google Form from all office workers in DKI Jakarta (n=288) using purposive sampling. Results indicate that 43.8% of workers do not comply with health protocols, 66% do not properly manage used masks, increasing contamination risks, and only 28.5% use N95/KN95/KF94 masks. Companies are urged to enforce surveillance and impose sanctions for policy violations.

Abstract

Workers represent a population at risk of exposure to air pollutants in the workplace, rendering them vulnerable to various health impacts, particularly respiratory disorders. This condition is attributed to prolonged inhalation exposure over time. This study aims to assess the magnitude of health risks associated with occupational exposure to air pollutants and to identify respiratory complaints among workers. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design, utilizing risk assessment methods to estimate the exposure risk levels of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), and total suspended particulate (TSP) in the workplace. The study population comprised production workers, selected via simple random sampling. The risk estimation indicated that the concentrations of CO, O₃, and TSP, were within acceptable safety limits. However, exposure to NO₂ exceeded safe thresholds, presenting non carcinogenic risks to workers with an average body weight of 66,48 kg, a daily exposure duration of 7,583 hours, and an annual exposure frequency of 236,99 days over a 12,85-year period. A significant proportion of workers reported respiratory symptoms and had previously been diagnosed with acute respiratory infections (ARI). Consequently, consistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly masks, is highly recommended to mitigate exposure to airborne pollutants.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Industrial emissions release various types of pollutants into both the atmosphere and the occupational environment. Air pollutants in the workplace may originate from production machinery or the fuels used. Chronic exposure to air contaminants in occupational settings can pose significant health risks to workers. Through environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA), it is possible to identify potential hazards and quantitatively estimate the associated health risks to workers. This study aims to analyze the level of exposure risk to PM2.5, PM10, and hydrocarbons in the workplace, and to evaluate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms among exposed workers. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. The analysis was conducted using the risk assessment methodology. The study population consisted of production workers, selected using a simple random sampling technique. The risk characterization revealed that the concentrations of PM10 and PM2,5 were within acceptable safety thresholds (Risk Quotient [RQ] < 1), indicating a low risk of non-carcinogenic effects. However, hydrocarbon exposure exceeded the safe threshold (RQ > 1), classifying it as a health risk for exposed workers. Hydrocarbon exposure in the workplace is categorized as unsafe and poses a non-carcinogenic risk to workers with an average body weight of 66.48 kg, an exposure duration of 7.583 hours per day, and an exposure frequency of 236.99 days per year over a span of 12.85 years. It is recommended that workers consistently comply with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly face masks, to mitigate the adverse health effects associated with hydrocarbon exposure. Keywords: Environmental Health Risk Assessment, PM₁₀ and PM₂,5, hydrocarbons  ABSTRAK Emisi yang dihasilkan oleh industri melepaskan berbagai jenis polutan ke atmosfer maupun ke lingkungan kerja.

Abstract

Food is a basic human need, necessary to meet daily needs. Human health is greatly influenced by what they consume. Food products added dangerous ingredients can cause serious health effects for humans. The aim of this research was to detect substances of formaldehyde and borax in snacks in the month of Ramadhan (takjil) at Bekasi City. This was descriptive observational research design by direct examination for formalin and borax from the food samples. The population in this study were all traders who sold Takjil on the roadsides in Bekasi City. Sample selected used an incidental sampling technique by taking 8 food samples which. Based on references, they were proven to contain dangerous chemicals. Based on the research results, 2 food samples were found positive containing dangerous food additives, namely 1 sample of lontong (12.5%) was positive for containing borax and 1 sample of martabak tofu (12.5%) was positive for containing Formalin. Seasonal traders who Sell ​​Takjil food during the month of Ramadan may not necessarily be safe. Therefore, it is recommended that health workers from Puskesmas must frequently inspect the food products and socialize the importance of using safe food additives.

Abstract

Introduction: Lead, a heavy metal, has been proven to influence the ecosystem negatively. The use of lead in processing or as raw materials increases Pb exposure to humans from various sources, including waste or consumed products. This study aims to determine the most recent information regarding lead contamination sourced from the environment, at-risk populations, and the health impacts of this heavy metal contamination. Results and Discussion: This systematic review used a database sourced from Google Scholar. The keywords searched were "lead exposure, environment, or health" in articles published in 2020-2023. After article screening and exclusion, 26 research articles were eventually reviewed. Lead was detected in water, air, and soil, generally in various foods or products consumed by humans. Environmental factors were the most frequent source of contamination. The population at risk of lead exposure were children. Several studies have found that various health impacts were significantly associated with lead exposure from different environmental sources and lead concentrations in biomarkers. Conclusion: Pb contamination was increasingly widespread in the environment through various sources. Exposure to lead may cause diverse health problems.
