Abstract

Toluene is an organic solvent that is widely used in industry which is volatile and toxic to health. Based on data from the International Labor Organization in 2018, it is known that more than 1.8 million work-related deaths, one of which is due to toluene exposure, occur each year in Asia and the Pacific. Biomarker to determine the presence of toluene exposure in the human body, namely hippuric acid in the urine. This research is literature review. Database used in this study includes Science Direct and Google Scholar. There were several articles annotate that hippuric acid is a biomarker of toluene in human urine. Health problems due to exposure to toluene occur in humans who directly contact with glue and paint. Workers in gluing and coloring field had higher risk than workers in other field (P<0.01). Hippuric acid levels in the urine of workers exposed to toluene and xylene were 0.15 ± 0.04; 0.11 ± 0.01; and 0.19 ± 0.07 g g-1 creatinine, respectively. It is concluded that hippuric acid is a biomarker of toluene in human urine and the health effects due to exposure to toluene in indoor air include dizziness, vertigo, and eye irritation.

Abstract

The environment plays a crucial role in the emergence and spread of diseases. Environmental sanitation is particularly essential in public places such as markets, as these locations are frequented by the community on a daily basis. Poor market sanitation conditions can facilitate the breeding of disease vectors, such as flies. Therefore, this study aimed to identify fly density as an indicator of environmental sanitation quality. This research employed an exploratory observational design by observing market environmental conditions and recording the number of flies trapped using a fly grill at four observation points in Traditional Market X, Malang City. The results indicated that temperature and humidity were interrelated and influenced each other. The average fly density at the four observation points ranged from low to moderate and high categories. The beef stall showed a moderate to low category (3.0, 0.6, 0.2); the chicken meat stall showed a low to moderate category (0.2, 1.2, 3.2); the goat meat and fish stall showed a low to high category (1.2, 1.8, 8.8); while the food and beverage stall showed a low category (0, 0, 0.4).

Abstract

As ship repair and maintenance activities increase in the floating dock area of PT PAL Indonesia, they consequently affect the surrounding seawater quality. However, at present, the determination of seawater pollution levels is still conducted through manual sampling followed by laboratory analysis, which requires a considerable amount of time. Therefore, an IoT-based seawater quality monitoring system is proposed as a solution to this problem. The objectives of this study were to determine the level of seawater pollution in the floating dock area and to analyze the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable. This study employed a quantitative research method consisting of three stages: first, the design and assembly of the monitoring device; second, sampling at each predetermined location; and third, correlation testing to determine the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable using the Pearson correlation method. The results showed that the average values of pH, temperature, turbidity, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were 7.04, 27.60 °C, 4.88 NTU, 32.25 ‰, and 8.25 ppm, respectively. The study concludes that the seawater quality in the floating dock area still meets the seawater quality standards in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia Number 51 of 2004, and that there are two independent variables that are significantly correlated with the dependent variable.

Abstract

This study aimed to utilize fly ash, a solid waste generated from coal combustion in the fertilizer industry, as an alternative coagulant for wastewater treatment. Fly ash was activated using H₂SO₄ at varying concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) and coagulant dosages (2 mL, 4 mL, and 6 mL). The effectiveness of fly ash as a coagulant in degrading suspended particles and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), as well as in reducing wastewater pH, was analyzed using the jar test method. The results demonstrated that fly ash coagulant was effective in reducing Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and COD, with the most significant reduction observed at a dosage of 4 mL and an H₂SO₄ concentration of 8%. Under these conditions, TSS decreased by 82.35% (from 0.79019 kg/ton to 0.13945 kg/ton), while COD decreased by 72.72% (from 0.02045 kg/ton to 0.00558 kg/ton). Correlation analysis indicated a strong relationship between H₂SO₄ concentration, coagulant dosage, and the reduction of TSS and COD. Although effective in reducing TSS and COD, the fly ash coagulant caused a decrease in wastewater pH due to its acidic nature. Further research is required to improve wastewater pH after the addition of fly ash coagulant.

Abstract

Indonesia, as one of the countries with a high population, continues to face significant challenges in energy conservation. The development of alternative fuel sources is urgently required to address energy shortages, such as biocharcoal briquettes derived from biomass. Kluwek shells (Pangium edule) have potential as briquette material due to their high cellulose content, reaching 70.52%. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of briquettes, including moisture content, ash content, calorific value, combustion rate, and compressive strength, in accordance with the SNI 01-6235-2000 quality standards. The experimental variations included adhesive concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, and mesh sizes of 30, 60, and 90. Overall, the results met the required standards. The optimal briquette characteristics were obtained from 10% NaOH-activated kluwek shell briquettes with 10% adhesive and a 30 mesh size, resulting in a moisture content of 1.65%, ash content of 3.30%, calorific value of 6191.17 Cal/g, and combustion rate of 1.13 g/min.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious lung infection that remains a significant public health problem, with a total of 92 cases reported in the Gunung Tabur Health Center working area. Physical environmental conditions of the household and family history are suspected to influence the transmission of this disease. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research sample comprised 48 respondents, selected using a simple random sampling technique from the population of pulmonary TB patients. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, and subsequently analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between air humidity (p = 0.049) and room temperature (p = 0.038) and the incidence of pulmonary TB. In contrast, no significant relationships were observed for lighting (p = 0.098), residential density (p = 0.078), and family history (p = 0.670). In conclusion, household physical environmental conditions, particularly suboptimal air humidity and room temperature, are associated with the incidence of pulmonary TB in the Gunung Tabur Health Center working area.

Abstract

National data from the Central Bureau of Statistics and industry surveys indicate that Padang restaurants are among the most widely distributed traditional food businesses in Indonesia, operating across nearly all provinces and urban–peri-urban areas. Inadequate processing practices can precipitate foodborne disease. Environmental Health Inspections are therefore used to supervise food safety, ensure products are fit for consumption, and detect hazards along the processing chain. According to 2023 inspection standards, only 60.7% of food processing establishments nationally meet the required criteria. In Purbalingga Regency, just 186 of 1,460 restaurants are compliant. Within the Kalimanah Community Health Center (UPTD) catchment, 452 food processing places (TPPs) operate, many below standard. This study aimed to characterize food-processing practices in Padang restaurants in the Kalimanah UPTD area. A quantitative descriptive, cross-sectional design was employed. Thirty-three Padang restaurants were sampled; data were collected through observation and interview. Findings showed consistently high risk across several assessment domains. Of eight criteria evaluated, the cooked-food packaging area was classified as high risk in 100% of establishments. The external premises and the kitchen/food-storage areas were also high risk based on both mean and mode scores. These results underscore substantial food-safety vulnerabilities in Padang restaurants within the study area. Targeted follow-up supervision, training of food handlers, and corrective actions by owners are warranted to improve compliance with inspection standards and reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Abstract

Contact dermatitis is a common occupational skin disorder among scavengers due to frequent exposure to irritants and allergens in hazardous working environments. This review aims to analyze the association between personal hygiene, duration of work, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) with the incidence of contact dermatitis among scavengers. A systematic literature review was conducted using ten relevant journal articles published within the last five years and retrieved from Google Scholar. The findings consistently indicate a significant association between poor personal hygiene and an increased risk of contact dermatitis (p < 0.05), with scavengers exhibiting inadequate hygiene practices experiencing skin complaints 8.5 times more frequently than those maintaining good hygiene. Prolonged duration of contact and longer employment periods were also found to significantly contribute to the incidence of dermatitis, as extended exposure to irritants exacerbates skin damage. In addition, inadequate use of PPE showed a strong correlation with higher rates of contact dermatitis, highlighting the protective role of physical barriers in preventing direct exposure to harmful substances. Age and sex were also identified as contributing factors, reflecting physiological differences in skin sensitivity and immune response. This review underscores the importance of targeted interventions, including the promotion of proper personal hygiene, consistent use of PPE, and regulation of working duration, to effectively reduce the incidence of contact dermatitis among scavengers. The findings provide comprehensive insights and preventive recommendations to enhance occupational health management for this vulnerable worker population.

Abstract

The increasing intensity of industrial activities in the coastal area of West Aceh has the potential to contaminate aquatic environments with heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg), which can accumulate in aquatic biota and pose health risks to humans. This study aimed to analyze the concentration of heavy metals in Sinanodonta woodiana, assess community exposure levels based on consumption patterns, and estimate non-carcinogenic health risks using the Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) approach. The study was conducted at four sampling sites along the Krueng Meureubo River and involved 141 respondents. Heavy metal concentrations were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, while health risks were assessed based on daily intake and Hazard Quotient (HQ) values. The results indicated that Pb (2.36–5.65 mg/kg) and Hg (1.10–53.27 mg/kg) concentrations in mussel tissue exceeded national food safety limits, whereas Cr concentrations (<0.0001 mg/kg) remained within acceptable levels. Risk characterization showed that 71.7% of respondents had HQ values greater than 1 for Pb and Hg, indicating potential non-carcinogenic health risks associated with regular mussel consumption. In contrast, Cr exposure did not present a significant health risk. These findings highlight that the consumption of freshwater mussels from the Krueng Meureubo River may pose health risks to coastal communities, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring of water quality and aquatic food safety to prevent long-term adverse health effects.

Abstract

Data from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) show that the prevalence of stunting in Banjar Regency increased from 17.68% (2021) to 26.4% (2022), and further rose to 30.6% (2023). Limited access to safe drinking water and food increases the risk of stunting through infectious diseases that disrupt nutrient absorption. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between water quality, food hygiene, and stunting among children under five in Banjar Regency. This research used case control study design. The case and control groups each received 30 samples. Independent variables included the source and quality of clean water (physical, chemical, microbiological), the source and quality of drinking water, drinking water management, and food hygiene practices (processing, serving, storage). Data were collected through household water sampling tested for physical (turbidity), chemical (pH, Fe), and microbiological (E. coli) parameters, as well as questionnaires and structured interviews with parents or caregivers. Data analysis was conducted using binary and multivariate logistic regression tests. The results showed that clean water sources, drinking water sources, microbiological quality of drinking water, drinking water management, and food management were significantly associated with stunting (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified drinking water sources and food management as the primary determinants, jointly accounting for 18.4% of stunting occurrence. These findings underscore that stunting prevention interventions should be prioritized toward improving the safety of household drinking water and strengthening food hygiene practices.
