Abstract

Introduction: The increasing use of chemical pesticides in agriculture raises concerns about heavy metal exposure. This study compares chronic heavy metal contamination levels (Pb, Cd, Cr6+) in the urine of pesticide sprayers and the general public in agricultural areas. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 100 respondents, equally divided between sprayers and the general public, was conducted. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and laboratory tests. Heavy metal levels in urine were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Factors like age, work duration, spraying frequency, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use were examined through Mann-Whitney and linear regression tests. Results and Discussion: Pesticide sprayers had significantly higher mean levels of Pb (0.084 mg/kg), Cd (0.010 mg/kg), and Cr6+ (0.010 mg/kg) than the general public. Key contributors to this accumulation included age, working hours, and the number of pesticide mixtures used. Inadequate PPE use and long exposure times were common, leading to health complaints such as nausea, vomiting, and headaches, indicating the harmful effects of pesticide exposure. Conclusion: Pesticide sprayers are at greater risk of heavy metal accumulation due to prolonged exposure and poor safety measures. Improving PPE use and reducing exposure are critical to minimizing health risks from heavy metal contamination. Awareness campaigns are necessary to protect agricultural workers.

Abstract

Introduction: Environmental noise from transportation, especially railways, is a form of sound pollution that affects health both auditorily and non-auditorily. Homemakers, who spend most of their time at home, are particularly vulnerable to noise exposure. This study aimed to analyze differences in hearing thresholds, blood pressure, and habitual sleep efficiency among homemakers residing in areas with varying noise levels, as well as contributing individual, behavioral, and environmental factors. Methods: This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design involving 60 housewives—30 from a noise-exposed area (Ambengan Selatan Karya) and 30 from a quieter area (Rusunawa Wonorejo). Data were collected through noise measurements using a Sound Level Meter, audiometric tests, blood pressure measurements, and questionnaires inspired by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analyses included the Independent T-Test to analyze the differences in environmental noise level, the Mann-Whitney test to analyze the differences of each dependent variable, and the chi-squared test to analyze the influences. Results and Discussion: Significant differences were found in environmental noise levels (p=0.021), right ear hearing thresholds (p=0.039), blood pressure (p=0.007), and sleep efficiency (p=0.040). No significant difference was observed in left ear hearing thresholds. Factors influencing right ear hearing thresholds included age and earphone use, age influenced blood pressure, while physical barriers affected sleep efficiency. Conclusion: High exposure to environmental noise may increase the risk of hearing loss, hypertension, and sleep disturbances.

Abstract

Introduction: Water was a part of the environment that was very susceptible to contamination by various hazardous substances, both physical, chemical, and microbiological. Serious health problems might occur when humans consume contaminated drinking water and can cause infectious and non-infectious diseases. This study aimed to analyze the risk quotient of chemical hazard exposure in drinking water by depot refilling drinking water from 25 cities and regencies in East Java Province. Methods: This study was analytically observational with a cross-sectional research design. The sampling method used was porposive sampling, which took 25 from 38 cities and regencies in East Java province. There were three steps to analyze drinking water health risks: dose-response analysis, exposure path, and risk characteristics analyzed. Results and Discussion: The highest concentrations of each parameter parameter F (1.4132 mg/L), NO_3 (56.2780 mg/L), NO_2 (22,225 mg/L), Fe (0.3845 mg/L), Mg (4.54 mg/L), and Zn (0.4272 mg/L). Analysis of risk quotient > 1 for parameters NO_3 (1.2265), NO_2 (7,748), and Mg (1.1308) Indicates that drinking water in the area is not safe for consumption by people weighing 55kg as much as 2L/day for 350 days. Conclusion: Based on the results of studies conducted on those substances (F, NO_3, NO_2, Fe, Mg, and Zn) there are three substances in the water that have RQ value > 1, NO_3 (1.2265), NO_2 (7,748), and Mg (1.1308) this means that those substances are risking human health and needed to be addressed controlled.
