Abstract

Microplastics are known to be composed of many chemical compounds, and there are compounds that act as hormone disruptors that can trigger insulin resistance. Children are the highest consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages in packaging (SSBs), which generally have plastic packaging. The study aimed to identify the presence of microplastics and polymer types of SSBs that are widely consumed in Indonesia, and evaluate their potential impact on health, especially the risk of diabetes mellitus in children. SSBs samples were taken from several brands in traditional and modern stores in Gresik Regency. The analysis was conducted by FT-IR test with the control variable being the water source from Beji Spring, Wonosalam. Furthermore, a literature review was conducted on the relationship between microplastics and diabetes mellitus in children. The results showed that the microplastics detected were filaments and fibers with polymers PET, PP, POM, EVOH and others. Microplastics are known to affect the performance of the pancreas so that it will cause diabetes mellitus in children. Reflecting on this condition, the government is expected to make quality standards for microplastics because of their harmful impact on the human body, especially children.

Abstract

Introduction: A sustainable livelihood program for former illegal loggers implemented by agriculture cultivation in rehabilitation zones or “Tetelan” land. Then, the agroforestry system should be applied to restore the function of forests and generate economic value. The research aims to examine the perceptions of former illegal loggers and the factors that influence the application of agroforestry on “tetelan” land. Methods: The research was conducted in Sanenrejo Village and Andongrejo Village, Tempurejo District, Jember Regency, East Java as buffer villages of the Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP). The research data used has cross-sectional characteristics. The data were measured using the Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods, followed by the Chi-square method to determine the effect of the relationship between variables. Results: Perception of former illegal loggers of agroforestry in “tetelan” land is in a good category. This means that efforts to implement an agroforestry system in "Tetelan" land to restore forest function have a high chance of success. At the same time, the factors that significantly influence the application of agroforestry are education and income. Conclusion: Individual approach efforts should target ex-illegal logger farmers with an elementary school education and low income (between IDR 300,000–IDR 6,200,000).
