Abstract

One of the most dominant workplaces where heavy metal contamination occurs is the Gas Station (SPBU). Gas station workers are at high risk of being exposed to heavy metals while working due to inhaling fuel that evaporates into the air and vehicle fumes due to the behavior of motorists who do not turn off the engine while waiting in line. Determination of the level of heavy metal contamination of Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, and Cr was determined through hair clippings using the Atomic Absorbtion Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The gas stations used in this study are SPBU X and Y in Sidoarjo. This study aims to determine the levels of heavy metals in hair and to determine the relationship between working period, age, smoking habits, and savety with heavy metal levels in gas station workers in Sidoarjo. The type of research used is descriptive cross sectional and analytical method through filling out questionnaires and correlative statistics with SPSS. The results obtained showed that the average levels of heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, and Cr at SPBU X were 0.232, respectively; 0.000; 0.003; 0.001; 0.464; and 0.024 mg/g. while the average levels of heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, and Cr at SPBU Y were 0.516, respectively; 0.000; 0.007; -0.001; 0.345; and 0.051 mg/g. It can be said that the levels of heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, and Cr did not exceed the specified threshold. The results of the statistical test of the correlation between the levels of heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Fe, and Cr with years of service, age, smoking habits, and PPE of gas station workers were not significant (p>0.05).

Abstract

The isolate compound α-Mangostin was the most dominant compound found in the rind and trunk of the mangosteen fruit tree (Garcinia mangostana L.). These compounds are reported to have many pharmacological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic, anti-cancer and several other bioactivities. The aim of this research was to measure the activity of α-Mangostin isolate using 13C and 1H NMR and to find out whether this compound had bioactivity on pancreatic physiology and histopathology in type II diabetes mellitus rats with the parameters measured were cholesterol and pancreatic histopathology. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University, Surabaya. This research is a true experimental type because the data were taken through laboratory tests with the treatment of the research sample. The sample in this study were rats with induced diabetes mellitus. 30 rats were separated into 5 groups for each group of 6 rats. The results of this study There are differences in the effect of giving alpha mangiostin on blood cholesterol levels in rats that have been induced by diabetes mellitus, and there is a change in the morphology of the pancreas caused by free radicals.
