Abstract

This article discusses the harmful effects of chromium metal on human health and the environment. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding of its negative implications. Analysis of relevant studies provides a comprehensive picture of how Cr (VI) exposure seriously impacts human health and threatens environmental safety. This review method was conducted by identifying and selecting relevant sources through the scientific journal databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect with the keywords "Cr(VI)," "health risk," "environmental impact," and "chromium metal" then selected and evaluated by considering the quality of the journal, research methodology, and findings. In terms of human health, exposure to Cr(VI) has been shown to increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and has significant carcinogenic potential. The impact is not limited to this; Cr(VI) exposure can also cause respiratory problems and skin irritation in industrial workers. In terms of the environment, releasing Cr(VI) into the air, water, and soil threatens living ecosystems. The impact of Cr(VI) pollution on the water and soil environment is of great concern to the quality of water resources and plant growth. In addition, releasing Cr(VI) into the air around industrial plants can also endanger the health of local communities. Therefore, this article highlights the importance of stricter monitoring of chromium-using industries and promoting safer and environmentally friendly alternatives. Implementing preventive and protective measures is essential to minimize the negative impacts of chromium metal on human health and the environment. Using safer alternatives and environmentally friendly production technologies should also be encouraged to create a sustainable and healthy environment for all living beings.

Abstract

The implementation of the Strength-Based Community Response program was primarily aimed at investigating the effectiveness of this approach in enhancing psychological functioning and well-being within a high-risk environment located in Nagari Kampung Baru, Pesisir Selatan Regency. This high-risk environment encompasses communities facing a multitude of complex challenges in the social, economic, and psychological realms. The intervention was carried out through a structured series of stages, commencing with the establishment of rapport with the respective community, followed by core activities, and concluding with program evaluation to measure its success and necessary follow-up actions. The entire population of Nagari Kampung Baru, Pesisir Selatan Regency, participated in this program with the broader goal of establishing a healthy and prosperous model village. The results derived from this program unequivocally demonstrate the effectiveness of the Strength-Based Community Response approach in improving individual psychological functioning while simultaneously stimulating the development of underutilized community resources. Participants engaged in these activities experienced a significant increase in their subjective well-being levels. Furthermore, they reported substantial improvements in self-awareness, social relationships, and their perception of their ability to control their personal lives. In conclusion, the practical implications arising from this research effort include two main points: first, it reaffirms the potential application of similar approaches as effective intervention models to enhance the quality of life and well-being of individuals within their respective environments. Second, this approach underscores the importance of community engagement and empowerment in the pursuit of holistic well-being.
