Abstract

Background: Industrial chemical exposure has emerged as a critical environmental and public health concern, particularly in Indonesia. Communities residing near industrial zones face heightened risks due to direct and prolonged exposure to hazardous substances. Numerous studies have documented the detrimental health and environmental effects of such exposure, including respiratory illnesses, cancer, and ecological degradation. Socioeconomic disparities further exacerbate these impacts, with marginalized populations often bearing a disproportionate burden of pollution-related consequences. Methods: This study adopts a literature review approach, synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed academic journals, institutional reports, and relevant research to evaluate the health and environmental implications of chemical exposure in industrial areas. Results and Discussion: The review reveals consistent evidence of significant adverse effects stemming from industrial pollution, particularly on vulnerable populations living in proximity to industrial facilities. The compounded risks include both acute and chronic health outcomes and degradation of environmental quality. Conclusion: The implementation of effective mitigation strategies and the enforcement of regulatory policies are essential to reduce chemical exposure risks. Strengthening environmental governance and prioritizing public health in industrial planning are critical steps toward protecting communities in affected areas.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition that often presents without clear symptoms, but may cause complaints such as headaches. Many individuals with hypertension manage these symptoms independently using over-the-counter medications like paracetamol, without addressing the underlying cause. This case report aims to describe the clinical course of uncontrolled hypertension, recurrent headaches, and habitual paracetamol use. Case Illustration: A 49-year-old woman with a history of hypertension experienced recurrent headache and self-medicated with paracetamol without a prescription. The patient demonstrated poor adherence to antihypertensive therapy and maintained an unhealthy lifestyle, including frequent sleep deprivation, work-related stress, regular consumption of coffee, tea, and fried foods. Clinical evaluation revealed elevated blood pressure of 140/100 mmHg. Discussion: Non-adherence to antihypertensive treatment and unhealthy lifestyle choices were major contributing factors that exacerbated the patient’s condition. The use of paracetamol as a symptomatic treatment masked the underlying problem and poses long-term risks to organ function. Persistent headache may serve as a clinical indicator of uncontrolled blood pressure due to irregular therapy. Conclusion: Patients with hypertension require comprehensive management, including lifestyle modification, consistent adherence to medication, and education on the risks of self-medication. The use of symptomatic drugs such as paracetamol without medical supervision may worsen the condition if not accompanied by adequate blood pressure control.
