<p>Ketersediaan sumber air bersih dan air minum yang kualitas tidak terjamin dapat mengganggu kesehatan jika tetap dikonsumsi. Pemilihan air minum isi ulang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan minum rumah tangga di wilayah terdampak banjir rob. Belum diketahui bagaimana kualitas air di tempat usaha DAMIU di Pekalongan terpengaruh oleh banjir rob.</p><p>Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui gambaran kualitas air di DAMIU di Pekalongan yang terdampak banjir rob tahun 2021. Metode penelitian yang digunakan deskriptif laboratorik dengan pendekatan kuantitatif, peneliti mengambil sampel air pada usaha DAMIU dari 20 populasi diambil sampel sebanyak 10 tempat usaha DAMIU untuk di analisis kualitasnya sesuai standar Permenkes 492/Menkes/Per/IV/2010. Faktor yang diteliti dibagi menjadi 2 parameter yaitu parameter fisik (Suhu, pH, Bau, Rasa, Warna, Kekeruhan , dan TDS) dan parameter biologi meliputi uji coliform dan bakteri E. Coli. Dari hasil uji laboratorik parameter fisik didapatkan suhu sampel air berkisar antara 24-270C, ada 1 depot air minum isi ulang dari 10 tempat usaha air minum isi ulang dengan PH dibawah nilai ambang batas, jika parameter bau, rasa, warna, kekeruhan dan TDS masih berada pada level yang aman dan diperbolehkan. Hasil uji laboratorik parameter biologi ada 3 DAMIU dari 10 tempat usaha DAMIU yang tidak memenuhi syarat atau tidak layak minum, karena sampel air yang ditemukan mengandung Coliform dan E.Coli. Saran dalam penelitian ini sebaiknya dilakukan pengujian air baku dari usaha DAMIU sehingga dapat mengetahui kinerja alat pengolahan air minum.</p><p> </p>Kata Kunci: kualitas usaha DAMIU : air minum isi ulang
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a serious problem in Central Java with an Incidence Rate (IR) of 10.2/100,000 population in 2018. Efforts to reduce the number of dengue fever cannot be separated from efforts to control the Aedes aegypti vector. Alternative vector control that is safer and more environmentally friendly can be done by utilizing compounds derived from plants that have biologically active properties. The plant that has the potential to be developed as a natural insecticide is galangal (Alpinia galanga). The amis of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a water filter added with biolarvicides from galangal rhizome extract. The research method used was a quasi-experimental method with 4 different concentrations of galangal extract (0.1%; 0.2%; 0.3% and 0.4%) and used a negative control without the addition of galangal extract. The results showed that in water filter treatment with galangal rhizome extract, there was death in Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae, while in negative control there was no larval death. The results showed that mortality of Ae. aegypti mostly occurred at a concentration of 0.4% as many as 25 larvae. Water filter with galangal rhizome extract biolarvicide has the potential to kill Ae. aegypti larvae.
Background: Microfilariae infections in the human body does not always cause symptoms. filaria infected humans would induce a Th2 response by increasing the production of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and increased serum levels of IgE. Zinc deficiency is directly related to the regulation of immune response that is reduced due to decline in lymphopoesis as well as the effect on the immune response and the production of antibodies in people with normal nutritional status.Objective: This research is analytic survey with case control approach. Samples were selected with a total engineering sample of 42 people infected with filariasis of the samples taken by Comparing the number of 1 : 1. The subjects of the study were obtained when only 30 cases and 30 controls chosen. Zinc intake assessment is done by using a food frequency ( FFQ ) and food recall 3 x 24 hours later treated with Nutrisoft program. Assessment of serum zinc performed with venous blood sampling as much as 3 cc made 1 time. Statistical analysis was performed with chi square test.Results: Group infected and not infected with filariasis less zinc intake was 54.7 % and 45.3 % , zinc status is lacking in both infected and uninfected group was 50.0 % and 50.0 %. Thus intake of zinc and zinc status were less does not constitute a risk factor in the study group ( zinc intake : Value- p = 0.103 ; OR = 7.250 with a value 95 % CI = 0.815 to 64.45 and zinc status : p - value = 1.000 ; OR = 1,000 with a value 95 % CI = 0.131 to 7.605 ).Conclusion: The intake of zinc and low zinc status is not a risk factor incidence of filariasis infection in areas of research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
