Abstract

This study investigates the hazardous impact of mercury, classified as a Category B3 heavy metal waste, on human life and the environment. It focuses on the significant contribution of artisanal mining to mercury pollution and its adverse effects on the landscape. In particular, the research examines the health risks posed by mercury exposure to children living in Peri-Urban Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (PESK) areas, including compromised immune responses and the potential for stunting. Urine samples were collected from participants using purposive sampling in accordance with Minister of Health Regulation No. 43/2013 and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). All ten samples exhibited the presence of mercury, with one falling below the 7 μg/L threshold established by Human Biomonitoring (HBM) guidelines. Notably, the study found that 99% of stunted toddlers exceeded the mercury threshold, while only 0.1% remained below it. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the health and environmental implications associated with mercury contamination.

Abstract

The "3M Plus" mosquito nest eradication movement has proven highly effective in preventing dengue disease and promoting environmental hygiene and healthy living behaviors. This study aims to explore the relationship between household head behavior and the implementation of dengue fever mosquito nest eradication. Using a descriptive analytic approach with a cross-sectional study design and simple random sampling, the research involved 14 family heads as participants. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire and supplemented with observational data. Data processing encompassed editing, coding, and tabulating, followed by bivariate analysis (Chi-square test) and multivariate analysis (Binary Logistic Regression) at a 95% confidence interval. The results indicate a significant correlation between attitudes (p=0.000) and the role of community leaders (p=0.039) in the eradication of dengue mosquito nests. However, no relationship was observed between knowledge (p=0.767) and mosquito nest eradication. Attitude emerged as the dominant predictor (Exp (B) = 7.2) for its association with the implementation of eradication efforts. This research highlights the importance of positive attitudes and the role of community leaders in effectively eradicating dengue mosquito nests, ultimately contributing to the success of such efforts in Peukan District, Aceh Besar Regency.

Abstract

Promoting clean and healthy living within households is essential for community well-being. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach to conduct Public Health and Behavioral Surveillance (PHBS) in Lam Geu Eu Village. The objective of this study is to gather comprehensive data regarding the adoption of clean and healthy lifestyles among Lam Geu Eu Village residents. The study encompasses the entire population of Lam Geu Eu Village, located in the Peukan Bada Subdistrict of the Aceh Besar District, with a total of 473 Family Cards. Among these, a sample of 220 families was selected. The research occurred over a month, from June 22 to July 24, 2023. Results indicate that many clean and healthy living indicators have reached or nearly reached target goals. Key indicators include clean water use, assisted deliveries, and fruit/vegetable consumption. Areas for improvement include eradicating mosquito larvae, increasing physical activity, and promoting handwashing. This study underscores the importance of clean and healthy behaviors in enhancing community well-being and represents a positive step towards improving overall population health.
