Infectious disease treatment rooms are places with a high risk of the transmission of diseases and nosocomial infections. Therefore, there is a need for good environmental quality, either in terms of air quality, and room construction condition, cleaning process and number of occupant density. The study was a descriptive study aimed at describing the air quality of infectious disease treatment rooms in Lung Hospital Surabaya in 2016. Data were collected by means of observations, interviews, measurements and calculation of the airborne bacterial index. CFU/m3Results showed that the airborne bacterial index of inpatient rooms was 1030 CFU/m and >2628 CFU/m3 for Dahlia Room 1, Dahlia Room 2 and Pear Room, respectively. Room temperature was 29.8°C, 30.5°C and 30.9C for Dahlia Room 1, Dahlia Room 2 and Pear Room, respectively. Room humidity was 69%, 65% and 65% for Dahlia Room 1, Dahlia Room 2 and Pear Room, respectively. Room air velocity was eligible for Dahlia Room 1 and Dahlia Room 2 at 0.49 m/s and 2 0.18 m/s respectively, but It was not so for Pear Room at 0.89 m/s. Room lighting was 62 lux, 26 lux and 81 lux for Dahlia Room 1, Dahlia Room 2 and Pear Room, respectively. In conclusion, the airborne bacterial index, temperature, humidity and lighting in Lung Hospital Surabaya in 2016 did not meet the requirements as defined in Decree of the Minister of Health No. 1204/Menkes/SK/X/2004 on Hospital Environmental Health Requirements. It iis recommended to improve the cleaning and maintenance process of those rooms in accordance with health procedures and to improve construction of the rooms which do not meet the requirements.

Semakin banyak macam jenis kegiatan yang berkembang di daerah perkotaan menyebabkan bertambahnya pula volume serta karakteristik air limbah, salah satunya adalah usaha jasa laundry. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas tanaman mangrove jenis Rhizophora mucronata dalam menurunkan kadar detergen di dalam air limbah hingga sesuai dengan Peraturan Gubernur Jawa Timur Nomor 72 Tahun 2013. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian Eksperimen Semu. Analisis data dilakukan secara analisis statistik ANOVA.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dari beberapa reaktor dapat dinyatakan bahwa besaran tingkat penurunan kadar detergen bervariasi pada waktu 2 hari, 4 hari, dan 6 hari. Hal tersebut membuktikan bahwa akar tanaman mangrove jenis Rhizophora mucronata mampu menyerap kadar detergen yang terdapat pada media tanam dengan sangat efektif. Penurunan kadar detergen pada air limbah tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh adanya tanaman mangrove, namun juga dipengaruhi oleh mikroorganisme yang terdapat pada susunan reaktor buatan yang berupa kerikil dan ijuk. Selain penyerapan oleh akar, bagian tanaman mangrove lain yang dapat menguraikan zat pencemar adalah bagian daun dan batang. Penurunan kadar detergen terbesar pada reaktor D dengan jumlah 4 tanaman dalam waktu tinggal selama 6 hari dengan penurunan hingga 6,4 mg/L. Sedangkan penurunan kadar detergen terkecil pada reaktor A dengan 0 tanaman dalam waktu tinggal selama 2 hari dengan penurunan hingga Perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut dengan jenis tanaman mangrove yang berbeda spesiesnya, misalnya Bruguiera gymnorrizha, Avicinea marina, Soniratia casularis.

Health workers who handle medical waste are at risk of the diseases faced because of germs from the skin infections, anthrax, meningitis, dengue, hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and C. The bacteria present in the blood are transmitted through blood. The highest risk of being infected by these diseases is when impaled by sharp or pointed object of the waste because it can damage the skin. The purpose of this study was to determine the behavior of CS officers (Cleaning Service) and the handling of medical waste in Dr. Soetomo hospital. This is a descriptive research with cross sectional approach. The collection of data was carried out through observation and interviews. The sample was 75 CS officers. Data were analyzed descriptively with table analysis.The results showed that Cleaning Services’ level of knowledge at Dr. Soetomo Hospital on handling medical waste with "Good" criteria was 90.8%. The CS attitude with "good" criteria was 88% and poor was 5.3%. CS’s behavior with "Good" criteria was 92% and "poor" was 6.7%. It can be concluded that of 75 Cleaning Service at Hospital Dr. Soetomo, most of them were well behaved and only a small proportion have poor behavior. The handling of medical waste in Dr. Soetomo hospital has been qualified in accordance with Kepmenkes No 1204 of 2004. It is recommended to conduct counseling on the importance of the use of personal protective equipment and the dangers of medical waste. Warning is also needed to officers whose work is not according to the rules. Keywords: CS Behavior, handling of medical waste
Intensive nursing rooms is known high risk zone in which the quality of air should bekept up to the highest standard because it may result in various health disorders. Thisresearch aims to discover the quality of air within the intensive nursing rooms of the BrawijayaHospital in Surabaya in 2013 through comparison with designated standards set forth inhealth ministry decree No. 1204/MENKES/SK/X/2004 re: health requirements of for hospitals.This descriptive research has been conducted at Brawijaya Hospital Surabaya in May2013. There were 11 rooms under study to be represented by air samples taken from 3rooms, i.e. Nusa Indah Room, Dahlia Room, and Tulip Room. The variables to be studiedamong others were microbiological quality of air as shown by number of germs, physicalmeasurements consisting temperature and humidity, assessment of room construction, densityof occupation, and purifying process.Results indicated that the highest number of germ before purifying process was 444CFU/m3 while at the time of patient visitation the number was 672 CFU/m3 meaning that theydid not comply to the requirements stated in health ministry decree no.1204/MENKES/SK/X/2004 which stated that the number of germs in children nursing room is200 CFU/m3 and adult nursing room is 200-500 CFU/m3• The highest temperature recorded atthe time before purifying process was 30°C and the humidity was 57%; while at the time ofpatient visitation the measurements indicated a temperature of 32°C and humidity of 58%.Density assessment has complied to the designated requirements: for a children nursing roomis 2 m2/bed and adult nursing room is 4.5 m2/bed. Pertaining to room and buildingconstruction of the intensive nursing ward that did not comply to the requirement was 60%while the purifying proces which did not comply with the requirements was 54%.Research concluded that number of germs in Nusa Indah Room at the time beforepurifying process and in Tulip Room at the time of patient visitation were clearly not complyingto the requirements. The suggestion included monitoring the quality of air on a regular basisin accordance with the health minister decree No. 1204/MENKES/SK/X/2004.Keyword: Mikrobiological, Air Quality, Intensif Nursing Wards
PT. Ispat Wire Products is a company that utilizes various machines in its operation and generate high level ofnoise intensity. This situation may eventually affect the health of workers, especially in relation to the hearingthreshold value. Therefore it is necessaryto launch an investigative inquiries on the relationship of individual'scharacteristics such as age, years of service and use of hearing protection devices with the threshold hearingamong noise-exposed workers.This type of analytical study involved with a sample of 60 workers. Sampling was done by simple randomsampling, while the chi-square test was used in the analysis to determine the relationship of individual'scharacteristics with the threshold hearing level among noise-exposedworkers using.Measurements resulted in an average noise intensity of 96.8 dBA. The measured threshold value exceededthe specified figure designated in the Minister of Manpower Decree No. 51/Men/1999, which designated avalue of 85 dBA for 8 hours/day or 40 hours/week. Results of the chi-square test proved the relationshipbetween individual's characteristics including age, years of service and usage of PPDwith hearing thresholdamong noise-exposed workers.Therefore, it was recommended that the company should initiate both noise control engineering andadministrative measures, and set local regulation designating penalties against workers who violated theprovisions of the company.
