Abstract

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection is still a significant public health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. This infection is caused by worms whose life cycle requires a soil medium in the maturation of eggs or larvae into an infective form and mainly occurs in children of primary school age. Poor environmental sanitation and malnutrition are the leading causes of STH infection. This study aims to determine the relationship between ecological sanitation, nutritional status, and STH infection incidence in elementary school children. This type of research is descriptive research. The research location is SDN 22 Telaga Biru, Telaga Biru District, Gorontalo Regency. The sample was 32 SDN 22 Telaga Biru students, obtained using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaire instruments, Body Mass Index (BMI) examinations, and fecal examinations at the UPTD Regional Health Laboratory Center of Gorontalo Province. The data were further analyzed univariately. The results showed that most environmental sanitation conditions did not qualify, such as latrine conditions (68.8%), SPAL conditions (75.0%), trash can conditions (87.5%), and clean water facilities (68.8%). Nutritional status (BMI/U) was most in the normal category (65.6%), and no helminth eggs were found in respondents (negative STH), so a relationship analysis could not be carried out. It is suggested that the school and parents support government programs related to providing mass worm-prevention drugs.

Abstract

Sianida (CN) merupakan zat pencemar yang sifatnya toksik dan menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan masyarakat. Aktivitas pertambangan emas tradisional menggunakan CN dalam proses sianidasi untuk dapat melepas emas dari bijihnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat risiko kesehatan akibat pajanan CN secara real-time pada sumber air PAMSIMAS (penyediaan air minum dan sanitasi berbasis masyarakat) di area pertambangan emas di Desa Tulabolo Timur Kecamatan Suwawa Timur Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Jenis penelitian yaitu observasional deskriptif dengan pendekatan Analisis Risiko Kesehatan Lingkungan (ARKL). Pengambilan sampel objek dilakukan di tiga titik dan subjek sebanyak 50 responden. Pengukuran kadar CN pada air PAMSIMAS dilakukan di Laboratorium Kesehatan Daerah Provinsi Gorontalo menggunakan metode analisis spectrophotometric. Hasil penelitian ditemukan kandungan CN pada Air PAMSIMAS 0,01 ppm. Intake real-time CN oral 0,000217325 mg/kg/hari, sedangkan CN dermal 0,00000241339 mg/kg/hari. Tingkat risiko CN oral 0,34495994 mg/kg/hari sedangkan CN dermal 0,00383078 mg/kg/hari. Disimpulkan bahwa sumber air PAMSIMAS masih aman (RQ?1, tidak berisiko) untuk aktivitas MCK dan minum, serta tidak berisiko non-karsinogenik bagi masyarakat. Disarankan kepada Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Bone Bolango untuk melakukan monitoring kualitas sumber air bersih PAMSIMAS di Desa Tulabolo Timur setiap tahun sekali.
