Abstract

Electronic waste is waste containing Hazardous and Toxic Materials (B3). Heavy metals such as lead and cadmium can acidify the soil, reduce its quality for agriculture, and threaten microorganisms that are important for soil ecology. Descriptive method, by collecting information from various written sources to describe the impact of electronic waste on the soil in depth. Sorting of electronic waste that can be recycled from that which cannot be reused. Sorting is done based on the characteristics of each component. After sorting, electronic components are dismantled using techniques such as Desoldering to separate valuable parts. Furthermore, electronic waste is crushed into small sizes and separated based on density and magnetic properties to obtain recyclable materials. In the final stage of electronic waste management, namely the Hydrometallurgy stage where valuable metals are extracted using chemical solutions, followed by refining to produce pure metals. Electronic waste management includes sorting, desoldering, crushing, and hydrometallurgy. Implementing this management method effectively and an integrated approach with government regulations, we can create an efficient electronic waste management system.

Abstract

Infectious diseases remain a major global health problem, with environmental factors playing a significant role in the transmission and burden of disease, especially in densely populated areas. This literature review aims to evaluate the impact of environmental factors on infectious diseases. Data were collected from previous studies through platforms such as Google Scholar. The results showed that poor environmental conditions such as air pollution, lack of access to clean water, inadequate sanitation, and poor waste management contribute to increased incidence of diseases such as ARI, tuberculosis, and diarrhea. The studies analyzed highlighted significant associations between these environmental factors and health outcomes. This review underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve environmental conditions and reduce the burden of infectious diseases in communities. By understanding the relationship between environmental factors and disease transmission, we can develop effective prevention strategies to reduce exposure to pathogens and improve public health.

Abstract

Wastewater originating from hospital waste is a very potential source of water pollution. Based on assessment data, the pollutant content in waste water, the impact and volume of waste produced and the low efficiency of hospital Waste Water Treatment Installations (IPAL) in Indonesia. Making hospital waste water needs to be treated with appropriate processing technology. Therefore, an analysis of the liquid waste management system was carried out in the waste water management installation at the East Java Community Eye Hospital. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study design. This research involved 1 informant as a resource person, The data collection techniques in this study were observation and in-depth interviews, which were then analyzed using method triangulation. This research shows that in the output process, laboratory test results for waste water samples were obtained for all parameters which were below the threshold values except for temperature, ammonia, phosphate and coliform levels which exceeded the predetermined threshold values. Researchers concluded that the liquid waste management system at RSMM East Java was completely adequate both in terms of input, process and output, but there were several systems that did not work optimally. The advice given to hospitals is to regularly check waste inlets, facilities and infrastructure, plan further processing, and increase human resources.

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance has become a significant public health concern due to the improper consumption and disposal of antibiotics. Improper handling often leads to selective pressure among bacteria that can lead to antibiotic resistance. Terrebonne parish in Louisiana being heavily populated, is dependent on Bayou for its seafood, recreational activities, transportation, and source of living. The water quality of Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petite Calliou has never been monitored before. The purpose of this study was to monitor the water quality of Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petite Calliou. Four sites along the bayous were monitored for water chemistry, total and fecal coliforms, and antibiotic resistance. The water samples were collected in triplicate and checked for the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, coliforms bacteria, and the levels of organic carbon, nitrogen, ammonia, sulfate, and phosphate. The antibiotics tested on samples includes Tetracycline, Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim, Bacitracin, Streptomycin Meropenem, and Erythromycin. The results showed that the bayou meets the criteria set by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) for water chemistry except for sulfate concentration. The amount of total and fecal coliform exceeded the water quality standard due to fecal contamination from the discharge of untreated and/or under treated domestic wastewater from failing septic tanks and individual household sewage treatment systems along the bayous. Many antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance genes were isolated from the water samples. The water is heavily impaired by the fecal contamination and the antibiotic resistant bacteria due to improper disposal of individual sewage treatment plant from households along the bayous.

Abstract

In the new global economy, air pollution has become a central issue for Indonesia, especially in Jakarta and other major cities such as Surabaya. Air pollution in Indonesia not only causes serious health impacts on the population but also can lead to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer, and respiratory tract infections. Several types of bacteria that can spread through the air include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, and type Sp1 bacteria. Initial studies conducted by researchers have found that until now, the kitchen space at the Rumah Sakit TNI AU Soemitro Lanud Muljono (RSAU) Surabaya has only been inspected for food, beverages, and rectal swabs. The specific aim of this study is to count the number of bacterial colonies in the hospital kitchen installation and to identify the types of bacteria present in the hospital kitchen installation. This type of research is quantitative analytic observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The population in the study is the air bacteria in the kitchen of Rumah Sakit TNI AU Soemitro Lanud Muljono (RSAU) Surabaya. Samples were taken 4 times during kitchen activities, and the sample size was 24 samples taken over 6 days referring to Kepmenkes 1335/menkes/x/2002. The results of the study found that the average number of bacterial colonies was 55.75 CFU/m3, which still meets the requirements set by Kepmenkes RI Number 1204/Menkes/SK/X/2004. The types of bacteria identified were gram-negative bacill and gram-negative coccus.

Abstract

The number of filariasis cases in Indonesia is increasing every year. This is especially true for people living in mosquito breeding areas, both artificial and natural, coupled with low knowledge and awareness of personal and environmental hygiene. The results of this review of various sources are expected to provide input for policy makers in mapping and determining filariasis vectors, so that vector control efforts can be carried out in an appropriate manner to break the chain of transmission and achieve the elimination target of this disease. This study used a systematic review method. The data used were secondary data in the form of research results published in electronic journals. Culex sp. has a wide distribution area and was found in every study, even dominating 8 out of 13 studies conducted. In general, the spread of filariasis disease in the tropics and subtropics, especially in countries with a middle to lower income index. Given this, it is important to map the distribution of filariasis vectors by geographical region, as it can help identify areas that require special treatment.
