Abstract

Sanitation is crucial for environmental health as it helps reduce disease transmission and related health issues. In Indonesia, sanitation problems persist, often tied to socio-cultural factors, such as the habit of open defecation. In 2021, 83.28% of households in Central Java Province had adequate sanitation, while in Purbalingga Regency, it was 76.33%. Klapasawit Village, within the Kalimanah Health Centre's area, has yet to achieve open defecation-free status. This study analyzes the factors influencing latrine use behavior in Klapasawit Village, Kalimanah District, Purbalingga Regency. This quantitative analytical research used a cross-sectional design. The population was the entire Klapasawit village, and the sample met specific criteria. Proportionate stratified random sampling was employed, resulting in 90 samples. Instruments included questionnaires, interviews, camera recorders, and secondary data forms. Univariate analysis revealed that the age group of 36–45 years (41.1%) dominated the community, with women making up the majority (45.6%). Most had a primary school education (33.3%) and were housewives (32.2%). Bivariate analysis showed no significant correlation between knowledge, attitudes, infrastructure, family support, and the role of health workers in latrine use in Klapasawit Village, Kalimanah District, Purbalingga Regency.

Abstract

Sungai Medang Landfill in Prabumulih City manages waste through the sanitary landfill method, though not optimally. Waste undergoes anaerobic decay by microorganisms, producing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas. Low concentrations of H2S can irritate the eyes, nose, or throat. This study aimed to analyze the environmental health risks of H2S exposure to communities around the Medang Prabumulih River landfill. The Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) method with a deterministic approach was used. The study sampled 92 people living within a radius of 250 meters and ±500 meters, using purposive sampling techniques. Results showed the highest concentration of H2S at 0.0015 μg/m3 and the lowest at 0.0001 μg/m3. The average intake value (real time) was 0.00053 μg/m3, with a risk level of 0.267 RQ (<1). These results indicate that the current risk level due to H2S exposure is safe and does not pose non-carcinogenic health risks. However, future increases in H2S concentrations may occur due to the rising amount of waste from increased population and urbanization. It is recommended to install air purifiers in homes and plant barrier plants like Liriope spicata (lilyturf/monkey grass) around residences to reduce odors from the landfill.

Abstract

Klotok landfill is a place where the waste is collected by the community every day. Klotok landfill was also used as a source of livelihood for scavengers. Scavengers working in landfills are prone to respiratory problems due to dust and pollutant gases produced through the waste decomposition process. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that have a relationship with scavengers' respiratory complaints at the Klotok landfill. This study used an analytic observational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted on 43 scavengers with the total sampling technique used. Data was collected through interviews using questionnaires and observation in the TPA environment. The results showed that 67.4% of scavengers at the Klotok TPA experienced respiratory disorder complaints. The study also revealed a relationship between the use of masks (p=0.003), years of service (p=0.027) and age (p=0.002) with scavengers' complaints of respiratory disorders. And there was no relationship between smoking habits (p=0.826), working hours (p=0.191), and gender (p=1.000) with scavengers' complaints of respiratory disorders.

Abstract

The presence of heavy metal cadmium in ex-mining ponds results from coal excavation and refining activities. Ex-mining ponds are used by the community for fishing and fish farming, the community uses ex-mining ponds. Communities often consume fish without fully understanding its quality and the potential health risks it poses. As a result, it is necessary to conduct community research on environmental health risk analysis (EHRA) as a first step to estimating or predicting health risks. The research was conducted for one month, from June to July 2022. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires, food models, and anthropometric measurements. Fish samples were collected from five different locations in ex-mining ponds, while human samples were taken from 20 respondents. The analysis of cadmium concentration in fish was done using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The study's results showed that the highest number of samples was about 0.0006 mg/kg of cadmium, while all of the respondents had a risk level value (RQ) of less than 1. This indicates that none of the respondents faced any health risks. It is recommended that people know and pay more attention to the types and sources of fish produced.

Abstract

Transportation is one of the anthropogenic activities that emit CO2. Its existence is essential for human mobilization, which causes the need for mitigation and solutions that can support the continuity of activities while minimizing the impact of emissions. In this case, the green belt of Jalan Jagir Wonokromo contains a mixture of road protection and CO2-absorbing vegetation that can reduce emissions. For this reason, a study was conducted to determine the CO2 absorption potential of green belt vegetation to provide information and a reference for optimizing green open space. The research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method, which included measuring road ambient CO2 concentrations, calculating vehicle volume, measuring breast height diameter as a biomass component, and researching correcting CO2 absorption by vegetation. According to the research results, the average ambient concentration of CO2 on roads is 785 mg/m3. The transport CO2 concentration was calculated using a Tier II approach and yielded a value of 186.87 kg/hour, contributing 79% to the ambient CO2 concentration.Furthermore, a box model is used to analyze the concentration of CO2 that will be absorbed by vegetation, resulting in 103.47 tons per year. Meanwhile, the ability to absorb CO2 from vegetation is 152.74 tons/year after being corrected by a pilot-scale study that considers vegetation's age and physiological factors. All emissions on Jalan Jagir Wonokromo can still be absorbed by vegetation, but optimization needs to be done in the form of intensification, extensification, and mitigation.

Abstract

Puskesmas X serves various programs such as health check-ups, outpatient care, inpatient care, emergency room services, and so on. The purpose of this research is to determine the type of B3 waste, the amount of B3 waste heap, the B3 waste treatment system, and also the impact that will be caused by poor B3 waste management. The type of study in this research is descriptive observational. This activity was carried out on February 14 to March 31, 2022. The data sources in this study were obtained from 4 (four) ways, namely by observation, interviews, weighing and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the types of waste (B3) in Puskesmas X are used syringes, expired syringes, expired drugs, soft infectious waste (used gloves, cotton, bandages, tissue, masks, used drug packaging, and used injection packaging), and infusion bottles. Sources of B3 waste come from service units such as the emergency room, immunization room, general treatment room, inpatient room, MCH room, laboratory room, delivery room, and dental and oral service room. The largest solid medical waste producer at Puskesmas X was from the delivery room unit with an average daily weight of 0.458 Kg and the laboratory room with an average daily weight of 0.299 Kg. B3 waste management in Puskesmas X is by collaborating with PT Sagraha Satya Sawahita and PT. International Wastec. Poor management of medical waste can lead to health hazards such as infection, hepatitis, HIV and Aids, respiratory or skin diseases, cancer, damage to offspring, and death.

Abstract

In 2021, the Banyuasin Health Center's area in Purworejo reported 143 malaria cases, which decreased to 33 cases in 2022. To understand the factors influencing malaria transmission, a case-control study was conducted. The study focused on environmental and behavioral risks within the health center's jurisdiction. The case group included 33 individuals who had malaria in 2022, while the control group comprised 33 individuals without malaria, matched by sex and age. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations using Chi-square analysis with a 5% significance level and 95% confidence interval. Significant risk factors identified included the presence of puddles (OR 4.808, 95% CI 1.667–13.862), absence of wire netting on ventilation (OR 4.713, 95% CI 1.341–16.566), not using mosquito nets (OR 7.429, 95% CI 2.461–22.422), not using mosquito repellents (OR 6.042, 95% CI 1.731–21.086), and not wearing tight clothes (OR 5.714, 95% CI 1.925–16.965). Conversely, the absence of a ceiling (OR 3.444, 95% CI 0.641–18.508), absence of cattle (OR 0.320, 95% CI 0.116–0.883), and absence of bushes (OR 2.692, 95% CI 0.631–11.488) were not significant factors. In conclusion, the study highlighted that stagnant water, poor ventilation measures, and inadequate personal protection contribute significantly to malaria risk in the Banyuasin Health Center's area. Improving housing conditions and promoting the use of mosquito nets and repellents are crucial in mitigating malaria transmission effectively in this region of Purworejo.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a significant health issue, responsible for 14% of child deaths worldwide. At Pakusari Health Center in Jember Regency, cases of pneumonia have risen from 2021 to 2022, placing it among the top 10 health concerns. Pneumonia in young children is caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and foreign bodies, exacerbated by physical and chemical contamination. Children under five, who spend much time in the bedroom, are particularly susceptible to this respiratory disease. This study aims to describe the physical air quality in bedrooms and the characteristics of under-five children with pneumonia. This research employs a descriptive, quantitative approach with a case-series design. A sample size of 10 houses was determined using non-probability and purposive sampling techniques. Primary data were gathered from interviews and air quality measurements conducted by the Indonesian Environmental Health and Disease Control (BBTKLPP) Surabaya, focusing on temperature, humidity, and lighting parameters. Findings indicate that 70% of pneumonia cases occur in children aged 0-24 months, with a majority being female.Additionally, 50% of the children received exclusive breastfeeding, and 20% had a history of measles. Based on Ministry of Health Regulation 1077/2011 standards, the room air quality results showed that 40% of air temperature measurements qualified and 60% unqualified, with lighting and humidity also not meeting requirements. However, PM10 levels were 100% within the acceptable range. This suggests that the physical air quality in the bedrooms of children under five with pneumonia is suboptimal, likely due to poor ventilation and infrequent opening of windows and curtains.

Abstract

The study examines the relationship between Diarrhea, Latrine Ownership, and Clean Water Availability in Indonesia, specifically focusing on 2016 to 2021. According to the 2018 RISKESDAS, the age group with the highest diarrhea prevalence, as health workers diagnosed, was 1 to 4 years (1.5%), followed by infants (9%). West Java Province had the highest prevalence of diarrhea by province, with a rate of 186.809. The purpose is to analyze data related to latrine ownership and the availability of clean water about the incidence of diarrhea in Indonesia. The method is meta-analysis. We used a cross-sectional approach to collect secondary data from articles from March to April 2023. The results show that ownership of a latrine that does not meet the requirements is 2,013 times more likely to cause diarrhea than ownership of a latrine that meets the requirements. From the results of the meta-analysis of the variable availability of clean water, it is known that the availability of clean water that does not meet the requirements is 1,858 times more at risk of causing diarrhea than the availability of clean water that meets the requirements. The conclusion is that the variable that has the most significant influence on latrine ownership and the availability of clean water is latrine ownership. We suggest minimizing risk factors by counseling the community, emphasizing the importance and benefits of having healthy latrines that meet requirements and the availability of clean water to prevent diarrheal disease.

Abstract

Small-Scale Gold Mining is a community activity that is generally without permits. This activity contributes to negative impacts on the environment and society due to the use of mercury in gold processing. Waste containing mercury is not processed and is immediately disposed of in the environment. This research aims to determine the mercury content in community well water around Small-Scale Gold Mining and public health complaints. This research is a descriptive study with the research variables being the mercury content of healthy water, the distance of the well to the source of pollution, the condition of the sound construction, the use of the well, and public health complaints. This research involved 13 wells and 46 communities as respondents. Based on the measurements, interviews, and observations that have been carried out, it was obtained that the mercury content in 13 community wells water showed where these results are below environmental quality standards according to Minister of Health Regulation No. 32 of 2017. Three community wells do not meet the requirements for good sanitation and healthy spacing, and several community wells need to meet the requirements, such as walls and floors that are not watertight. Health complaints people feel include itching, redness of the skin, and itching and burning in the eyes. A few respondents around Small-Scale Gold Mining only felt these health complaints. Research shows that Small Scale Gold Mining activities have not polluted community water sources, namely well water, and have not caused significant public health complaints.
