Abstract

Periplaneta Americana has long been acknowledged as mechanical vector for infectious diseases. Baiting gel is considered as an advantegous mechanical vector control because it is relatively affordable and convenient for users. However, further studies to understand dose-response effects and effective ingredient composition still limited. Therefore, the aim of this research was to analyze the effect of the combination doses of baiting gel with active ingredients boric acid and sulfur materials on Periplaneta americana mortality. This research was true experimental with Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) study design. The researchers intervened the formula of baiting gel with a combination of boric acid and sulfur at different doses. The treatment of baiting gel at various dose levels produced a significant difference in the mortality of Periplaneta americana imago. Partial eta squared values showed the model design formed and the dose of baiting gel that had been applied had an effect on the mortality of Periplaneta americana imago at 90.4%. The observed power results show that the percentage to reject the hypothesis H0 for all diversity is 100%. The most effective dose in killing Periplaneta Americana cockroaches is a combination of Boric Acid: 10 grams and Sulfur: 0.25 grams. The conclusion of this research was to it is recommended to determine the weight of baiting gel before and after the application in order to optimize the results.

Abstract

A safe and comfortable human life could be achieved by controlling the work environment so that the release of energy that is harmful to human health can be avoided. Noise often arises from an uncontrolled work environment and currently, more than 600 million people are exposed worldwide. Increased cortisol levels were one indicator stress-inducing of the occurrence of health effects because the worker's body is exposed to noise. If left longer it could increase sugar levels and cause diabetes mellitus. This study aims to analyze the effect of noise exposure on increasing blood cortisol levels and blood sugar levels in garment workers. This type of research was an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The respondents were chosen by using a stratified random sampling method and the total amount of respondents with a mean difference formula. As many as 75 people became respondents after being counted using the mean difference formula and chosen by the stratified random sampling method. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Pearson Correlation. The results showed that respondents who exposed to noise above the threshold limit value had higher average blood cortisol levels compared to other respondents (p<0,000). Furthermore, an increase in blood cortisol levels was also positively correlated with an increase in blood sugar levels (r=0,898; p=0,000). Therefore, workers must be disciplined in using personal protective equipment.

Abstract

Gas station workers played an important role in providing fuel needs in the community for the transportation system to run smoothly. The higher motor vehicle user, the intensity of refueling also increases. They were at high risk of being exposed to hazardous pollutants from both vehicle emissions and fuel vapors. Although NO2 and SO2 had non-carcinogenic effects, they are still irritants that cause chronic airway disorders. This study aims to analyze the health risks experienced by gas station workers due to NO2 and SO2 exposure in Kendari City. This research was a Quantitative Descriptive study with Environmental Health Risk Method Analysis. The number of samples was 13 operators chosen with total sampling. Measurement of NO2 and SO2 concentrations were carried out in the morning, afternoon and evening. The results of this study showed the highest intake value obtained for NO2 (real-time) was 0.00635 mg/kg/day and SO2 (real-time) 0.00057 mg/kg/day. The highest risk level obtained for NO2 is 0,31775 (RQ<1) and SO2 0,00275 (RQ<1). The conclusion of this study is the quality of ambient air NO2 and SO2 at SPBU 74,931.10 is still safe and meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standard in a short time. But otherwise, it will be at high risk for health if the operator was exposed for a long time and continuously. It should be made an effort to monitor and control air pollution. As well as the policy of using Personal Protective Equipment to minimizing exposure to ambient pollutants.

Abstract

Organophosphate insecticides (OPs) are one of the pesticides commonly used in agricultural activities either to eradicate or to protect crops from insect attacks. Aside from the advantages proposed, this OPs substance also brings some worrisome threats for individual and population. Shallot farmworkers in Brebes Regency are population at risk to OPs exposure. The activity levels of Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) in blood play important roles as a biomarker of exposure as well to measure the occurrence of OPs exposure in a human body and as a biomarker of susceptibility as well to measure the level of detoxifying OPs. The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between levels of BuChE and PON1 activities amongst shallot farmworkers. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 male subjects selected randomly from Dukuhlo Village in Brebes Regency, Indonesia, occupationally exposed to OPs from April to May 2017. Using a structured questionnaire, a survey was carried out based on sociodemographic characteristics. Blood samples were collected to determine the levels of BuChE and PON1 activity. These samples were then analysed at laboratories of Cito in Tegal and Gaky, Undip in Semarang. Furthermore, data were analysed systematically using univariate and bivariate (a Spearman’s Rank test). A significant correlation was found between these both variables (p=0.025 and rho=0.238) with slightly moderate positive relationship. To sum up, farmworkers with higher PON1 activity may have a better chance of detoxifying the acute effect of OPs exposure. A further research is needed to identify correlation between PON1 activity, levels of thyroid hormones, and OPs metabolites in urine.

Abstract

All countries of ASEAN member agree that dengue fever is one of the major problems faced by all ASEAN countries so the status of their territory has been determined to be hyperendemic in the last 10 years. Global warming is predicted to result in an increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface by 2,0OC to 4,5OC in 2100, which will have a direct impact on diseases caused by vectors. This study aims to examine the relationship of climate factors to the incidence of dengue fever and find a predictive model of dengue fever in Gorontalo regency. This research data used secondary data from 2012-2016, which included climate data (average temperature, irradiation time, rainfall, rainy days, and average wind speed) per month obtained from the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (MGA) Gorontalo Class II and dengue fever incidence data were monthly incident data obtained from the Health Office Gorontalo regency. Based on the values of determinant values (R2) of the five models that were obtained, the value is 13,4% with p value = 0,004 and the linear regression equation using the backward method. Thus, estimated number of cases of dengue fever in Gorontalo Regency in a year reached 132 cases. Besides climate factors, the increasing number of cases of dengue fever might be caused by urbanization, population density, high population mobilization, community behavior, existence and quality of facilities and health services obtained by the community. Improvisation is needed for planning prevention programs and its implementation. As well as designing spatial-based disease prevention and control program that analyzes all climate, demographic and environmental parameters that are the causes of the high incidence of dengue fever.

Abstract

Benzene exposure to mechanic workers came from contact with gasoline and oil. Source of exposure benzene is entering the human body through breathing, skin, and mouth. Then it would be distributed into the bone marrow. So, the cell processes in the blood were disrupted. The purpose of this study was to determine the source of benzene, characteristics and hemoglobin levels of mechanical workers. This research was an observational study, using a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study were 20 mechanical workers, taken randomly by simple random sampling. Blood samples were taken to measure hemoglobin levels and a questionnaire to see mechanical characteristics, such as age, length of work, years of service, a habit of washing hands with gasoline, smoke habits, and body armor. Data analyzed descriptively. There was a source of benzene in the work environment such as gasoline, motor vehicle fumes, gasoline vapor, oil, used oil, and majun. Characteristics of the mechanical workers have the habit of washing hands with gasoline after contact with oil by 75% and all mechanical workers have normal hemoglobin levels. Mechanics are advised to wash their hands with soap and water after each work without using gasoline, and as well as holding socialization related to occupational health and safety.

Abstract

The process of spoilage of waste in the landfill produces air pollutant gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which was a colorless gas, highly flammable, and has a characteristic rotten egg odor. Communities around TPA who were continuously exposed to H2S gas has very at risk of experiencing health problems. The main entrance of H2S gas through the respiratory system so that it was quickly absorbed by the lungs rather than exposure through the mouth. This study aims to analyze the great health risks arising from exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas at the Cibeureum landfill in Banjar City. This research was a descriptive-analytic type with cross-sectional study design and it was analyzed with an environmental health risk assessment (EHRA) approach. The results of H2S concentration measurements were 0,004 ppm and still below the 0,02 ppm standard. Exposure projections indicate that people in the surrounding areas do not yet have non-carcinogenic risks (0,42≤1). The safe duration of exposure is 24 years. If residents still live around the landfill for more than 24 years, it will endanger them and cause non-carcinogenic health risks. Complaints caused by civilians around the landfill consist of coughing, headaches, colds, shortness of breath, chest pain, and sore throat.
