Abstract

Background landslides not only bring physical damage, but also trigger various health problems, including an increase in cases of atopic dermatitis. The post-landslide environment conditions that are humid, dusty, and limited access to clean water in evacuation centers worsen the skin health of the survivors. Exposure to allergens from soil, mold, and disaster stress further increases the risk of skin inflammation. Purpose from this literature is to analyze the relationship between landslide disasters and the increase in atopic dermatitis cases through environmental factors and explore the effect of limited sanitation and allergen exposure on the increase in atopic dermatitis cases after landslide disasters. Method this study uses Literature Review with data obtained from the databases Science Direct, Elsevier, Open Exploration, Research Gate, Pubmed, Taylor and Francis, Proquest, and SINTA with a total of 10 national journal articles, 20 international journal articles, and 5 theses. Result some studies show that landslides can increase cases of atopic dermatitis due to exposure to dust, mold, poor sanitation, and stress in evacuation camps. Changes in microbiota and the immune system are also implicated in aggravating symptoms, and microbiota manipulation is a suggested therapeutic strategy. Other studies have shown that such an impact does not necessarily take place, especially where quality emergency sanitation and adequate access to health care services exist. Conclusion environmental, sanitation, and microbiota factors play a role in the severity of atopic dermatitis, especially in areas affected by landslides. Exposure to dust, mold, and limited clean water in evacuation camps can worsen skin conditions, while post-disaster stress also weakens the immune system, so health, hygiene, and environmental management education is needed for more effective prevention. However, some studies argue that not all landslide events increase atopic dermatitis, especially in regions with adequate emergency sanitation and health services.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has significantly impacted global health, requiring effective surveillance methods. Wastewater surveillance has emerged as a cost-effective and non-invasive tool to detect viral RNA from both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, allowing early detection of outbreaks. Objective: This study analyzes the effectiveness of wastewater surveillance in detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA in untreated wastewater, comparing it with clinical surveillance and evaluating its role in public health monitoring. Method: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, focusing on studies published between 2015–2025. Articles were selected based on relevance, availability, and originality, applying the PICO strategy to refine the search. From ten initially identified studies, two were selected for in-depth analysis. Result: The findings demonstrate that wastewater surveillance effectively tracks SARS-CoV-2 trends in communities. A study in Brazil showed a strong correlation between viral loads in wastewater and clinical case trends, proving its potential as an early warning system. Meanwhile, research in Australia confirmed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater and estimated infection prevalence using Monte Carlo simulation, aligning with reported clinical cases. These studies highlight wastewater surveillance as a reliable tool for population-wide monitoring. Conclusion: Wastewater surveillance is a proven method for detecting SARS-CoV-2, complementing clinical surveillance by enabling early detection, wider coverage, and cost efficiency. Challenges such as RNA degradation and detection standardization require further research, but integrating RT-qPCR and genomic sequencing enhances its accuracy for future epidemiological monitoring.
