Electronic cigarettes regulation in Indonesia has not been set yet. In the last 4 years the electronic cigarettes have been widely distributed and used in Indonesia. Electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerol, liquid flavors, etc. All ingredients produce vapor when heated. Vapor and particles from electronic cigarettes affect the human health. Formaldehyde is known as a product of propylene glycol and glycerol vapor degradation. Formaldehyde is one of the chemical agents categorized as carcinogen. The aim of the research was to analyze the identification of formaldehyde vapor concentration and health complaint of electronic cigarettes smoker. The research was conducted in Surabaya city, Indonesia, from October 2015 to December 2016. The research used cross-sectional approach. Sample was obtained by purposive sampling that fulfilled samples inclusion criteria. The variables were the onset of smoking electronic cigarettes, smoking frequency of electronic cigarettes, formaldehyde vapor concentration, cotinine urine, and health complaint of electronic cigarettes smoker. The result showed that formaldehyde concentration in six vapors varied while cotinine urine mostly was positive. It is suggested to educate people about hazard of electronic cigarettes and to conduct further research to identify chemical agent in electronic cigarettes.
Pos pelayanan terpadu (Posyandu) merupakan kegiatan yang melibatkan masyarakat melalui pemberdayaan sebagai wujud pelayanan kesehatan dengan menggerakkan Kader. Salah satu kegiatan yang berjalan di Posyandu Mawar di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Polowijen adalah posyandu balita. Pada tahun 2021, tercatat 12 anak kategori stunting yang mana setelah dilakukan pengecekan ulang hanya ada 3 balita yang termasuk dalam kategori stunting. Sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan bagi kader dalam pengukuran antropometri agar tidak ada salah pengukuran dan pencatatan. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan metode strategi perencanaan dan evaluasi program berdasarkan pada akar penyebab masalah. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat diperoleh adanya peningkatan pengetahuan kader sebelum dan setelah melakukan pengukuran antropometri sebesar 11,0 menjadi 11,3. Dari kegiatan ini diharapkan adanya pemantauan berkala dan berkelanjutan terkait pengukuran antropometri pada kader dengan dalam rangka penncegahan dini stunting pada balita.
Lead is found in the printing ink, it gets into the human body through skin absorption and ingestion. Blood lead level > 10 μg/dL causes health disturbances. The purpose of this study was analyzed blood lead level and healthy complaints in printing worker of Unipress Surabaya. This research was observational analytic with cross sectional approach. The subject was printing production process employees and administration employees. Population of production process employees were 10 people and administration employees were 7 people. Whereas, sample of production process employees were 9 and administration employees were 6. The determination of the sampling used simple random sampling. Data analyzed with chi-square test and t-independent test. Blood lead level of production process employees have ± SD = 6.16 ± 0.37 μg/dl, whereas the blood lead level of administration employees have ± SD = 6.0±0.18 μg/dl. Based on the results by t-independent test (p = 0.371) which indicated there was no difference blood lead level of production process employees and administration employees. Based on the test results by chi-square (p = 0.005) which indicated there was difference in central nervous system disturbances of study group and control group. It is concluded that blood lead level in printing worker of Unipress Surabaya are normal. Though it can suggested to use gloves while working, increase hygiene and sanitation behavior, reducing smoking habit, as well as routine health check up to see the blood lead leve
Increasing population density makes people's consumption's higher too. This condition makes waste increases. The waste generated in Jombang Regency more than 417,838 m3 per day in 2010. The comparison between biological waste and non-biological waste produced is 61% and 39%. Respectively, that residents of Jombang Regency produce a lot of biological waste compared to nonbiological waste. More than 50% biological waste comes from market waste. In general, biological waste can be processed into compost, animal feed and biogas. One alternative to other biological waste decomposition is using maggot Larvae from Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae which can convert waste be a protein and fat, and reduce waste mass by 50% to 60% so that it can be used as a solution to reduce waste pollution. So, this study want to analyze the ability of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae to degrade market biological waste in Jombang. This study used an experimental quantitative research design. This research used biological waste with 8 different treatments and 3 times repetition and control group. The independent variable is amount of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae and heavy of biological waste, while the dependent variable is residual biological waste after giving BSF. Data analysis used one-way ANOVA test. The results found that there were differences residual biological waste using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae in any amount. Judging from the output of the one-way ANOVA statistical test in the Homogeneous Subsets table, the control column does not have an equation for the speed of decomposition from treatment 1 to treatment 8. According to this research, the best way to decompose biological waste is to use Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae. It is recommended to the public to use Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Larvae in an effort to degrade market biological waste.
