Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus) which attacks the respiratory tract, with mild to severe symptoms. The virus can infect the body through mucous membranes on the face with droplet transmission. Air pollution is thought to contribute to Covid19 events which can worsen the situation of people with Covid19. The aims of this literature review is to analyze Particulate Matter (PM) as environmental factors that contributes Covid19, so it is expected to be a study in terms of prevention and prevention in the field of environmental health. Discussion: PM is thought to have contributed to an increased risk of mortality and morbidity in Covid19 events. PM which has toxic properties can enter the lungs and affect the physiological condition of the lung organs. The findings regarding the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA strengthen the suspicion that PM plays a role in Covid19 transmission. Several studies have found that there is a relationship between PM and Covid19. PM2.5 which is smaller than PM10 has a higher ability to be a risk factor for ballast in Covid19. Conclusion: The results of this synthesis state that PM can be one of the driving factors of Covid19 transmission in air.
Kesehatan lingkungan dan industri memiliki keterkaitan yang akan berdampak pada kesehatan pekerja, produktivitas kerja maupun hal-hal lain yang mendukung efektivitas dan efisiensi bagi industri, adapun beberapa komponen seperti media tanah, air, pangan, sarana, bangunan, serta vektor dan binatang pembawa penyakit merupakan aspek dan persyaratan kesehatan lingkungan industri. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis ketercapaian persyaratan kesehatan lingkungan industri di PT X, mengacu pada Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 70 tahun 2016. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Januari hingga Februari 2020, menggunakan desain deskriptif kualitatif. Peneliti menggali informasi melalui wawancara kepada 10 orang informan dan melengkapi dengan observasi. Informan yang dipilih adalah karyawan di unit K3LH, karyawan di unit pemeliharaan, karyawan di bagian catering, manager unit K3LH, manager unit pengadaan infrastruktur dan manager bagian catering. Teknik analisis menggunakan analisis kualitatif pada hasil penilaian menurut instrumen yang digunakan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa upaya persyaratan kesehatan lingkungan di PT X telah mencapai 89% dari total keseluruhan instrumen yang dianalisis. Hal ini terjadi dikarenakan masih terdapat beberapa komponen yang belum memenuhi persyaratan, seperti IPAL, sarana penghematan air, sarana laktasi, sarana merokok, fasilitas untuk difabel, dan bangunan yang rapat serangga. Rekomendasi yang diberikan adalah dengan memperbaiki dan menambah beberapa sarana terkait persyaratan kesehatan lingkungan yang belum tersedia untuk kemudian dilakukan penilaian kembali secara berkala.
