Berdasarkan data Kementarian lingkungan hidup dan kehutanan data limbah medis rumah sakit rujukan dan rumah sakit tidak rujukan mengalami peningkatan setiap bulannya. Total limbah medis dan non medis yang dihasilkan sebesar 57.253 Kg/hari. Jumlah limbah medis yang dihasilkan sebanyak ± 242 ton/hari dari sekitar 2.813 rumah sakit di seluruh Indonesia dengan rata-rata timbulan sampah medis sebesar 87 kg/hari/rumah sakit.Hal ini menggambarkan jumlah limbah medis yang belum dikelola masih sangat besar. Tujuan webinar ini adalah mensosialisasikan terkait penanganan limbah medis dan regulasi terkait limbah medis pada tenaga kesehatan maupun masyarakat. Metode pelaksanaannya menggunakan metode ceramah (sosialisasi), tanya jawab, dan monitoring serta evaluasi terhadap peserta. Hasil webinar ini memberikan gambaran bahwa perlu adanya kegiatan sosialisasi secara terus menerus untuk menyampaikan regulasi terkait dan pemahaman kepada masyarakat mengenai penanganan limbah maupun sampah yang terkontaminasi covid-19.Dengan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat webinar ini diharapkan dapat memberikan wawasan dan solusi dalam penanganan limbah (sampah) medis sehingga tidak membahayakan bagi masyarakat maupun petugas kebersihan dalam penanganan sampah ini.

Using masks has become popular as an effort to prevent COVID-19. This increased the public consumption of masks. But in practice, this effort might cause other problems. The survey arranged to observe the potential contamination form from using masks. Specifically, it is a procedure when using and removing an inappropriate mask This descriptive study is a cross-sectional study. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire filled in by 152 respondents aged ≥15-years-old who lived in the Jabodetabek area through a link shared online on various social media. Workingat the healthcare facility was the exclusion criteria for the participants. Fabric masks were the most commonly used. The majority replaced mask with the new or clean one once a day. Touched outer side of masks was the habit of most participants with lack of hand-hygiene practice. Potential self-contamination from inhaling pathogens, direct or indirect, released by the infected person when coughing, sneezing, even when talking, sourced themselves or others. Environmental contamination could occur due to lack of hand hygiene practice before wear masks, and after-touch while in use and after-remove it. Hence, educate the community for proper procedure use of masks and hand hygiene practice is necessary to prevent contamination and spread of diseases.
Introduction: Online motorcycle taxi drivers spend most of their time outside as either driving or waiting for their customers. Therefore, chances of exposure to various air pollutants are higher and may cause various health problems, especially the respiratory problems. Methods: This is a descriptive study that used the Environmental Health Risk Analysis method to estimate the Risk Quotient (RQ) from exposure to PM10, SO2, CO, O3, and NO2 in drivers. The RQ was calculated based on exposure concentrations from the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Environment Agency; daily working hours, working days in a year, and working period obtained from interviews; additionally, body weight measurement, reference concentration (RfC), and the default value of inhalation intake were also collected. The population of this study was adult online motorcycle taxi drivers who operate around areas which become the air quality measurement stations in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta with a total sample of 81 people. Results and Discussion: The RQ for all minimum, average, and maximum concentrations of SO2, CO, and NO2 were <1. While for the average and maximum concentrations of PM10 and the maximum concentration of O3, the RQ was >1. The safe concentrations, work duration, and the number of working days also surpassed the maximum safety limit levels. Conclusion: PM10 and O3 ambient exposures are categorized unsafe for drivers. Environmental health efforts are necessary to reduce the concentration of air pollutants, and the guidelines to reduce pollutants exposure should be provided for drivers.
Limbah merupakan suatu buangan yang dihasilkan dari suatu proses produksi baik industri maupun domestik (rumah tangga). Menurut data dari Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup tahun 2020 Produksi sampah rumah tangga selama pandemic Covid-19 mengalami kenaikan yang signifikan yaitu dari 62% berbentuk paket dan 47% layanan antar makanan (Katadata, 2020). Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta melarang penggunaan kantong belanja plastik sekali pakai di tempat-tempat tersebut. Namun aturan ini baru diterapkan pada toko swalayan, supermarket, pusat perbelanjaan, dan pasar tradisional. Tujuan diadakannya webinar ini adalah untuk mensosialisasikan upaya diet sampah untuk mengurangi jumlah timbulan sampah terutama selama masa pandemic Covid 19 saat ini. Metode pelaksanaannya menggunakan metode ceramah (sosialisasi), tanya jawab, dan monitoring sertaevaluasi terhadap peserta. Hasil yang diharapkan dari webinar ini adalah sosialisasi secara berkala agar menambah pengetahuan masyarakat dalam mengurangi jumlah timbulan sampah rumah tangga terutama selama masa pandemic Covid 19 ini. Dengan adanya kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat menambah wawasan masyarakat terkait reduce, reuse dan recycle (3R) sampah rumah tangga.
