This study aimed to investigate the poisoning symptoms occurring in pesticide-exposed farmers. This study was conducted in a red onion farming center area in Wanasari Subdistrict, Brebes, Indonesia, from May to June 2018. This study was designed as the descriptive study. The significance value of p<0.005 showed that the variable was correlated with the health problems, including excessive fatigue (p value = 0.041), excessive saliva (p value = 0.006), hard breathing (p value = 0.021), frequent urination (p value = 0.047), blurred vision (p value = 0.059), dizziness (p value = 0.032), and finger pain (p value = 0.007). The significance value (p<0.005) of 0.000 showed that the use of personal protective equipment was correlated with the health problems. Based on the odds ratio value of 1.137, 95% confidence interval = 0.042–0.444 meant that the personal protective equipment was a risk factor of health problems. The results showed that 89.2% of the farmers who used the personal protective equipment were categorized in the healthy group.

The waste management at the Roemani Muhammadiyah General Hospital Semarang uses anaerobic technology with the DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System) system whose outlet test results for COD, BOD and Coliform bacteria are still above the specified quality standards. This study aimed to evaluate aspects of fluid waste management and management, whether it follows existing liquid waste management regulations, and determine the effectiveness of wastewater treatment at Roemani Muhammadiyah General Hospital Semarang. This type of research was a mixed-method with a concurrent triangulation strategy; the research was supported by quantitative data carried out descriptively. The results of the management aspect of the Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital Semarang is following the regulation of the Minister of Health No. 7 of 2019 concerning Hospital Environmental Health. While liquid waste management is still not following existing laws. Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital Semarang has been efficient in reducing TSS, BOD, COD and NH3 while for the parameters of Colifom bacteria, WWTP Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital Semarang is still not efficient in reducing the parameters of Colifom bacteria. Therefore, it is hoped that the hospital will pay more attention to waste water quality, especially that produced by each health service agency.
The use of pesticides in Sumowono District was based on a statement by the Agricultural Extension Center that was not according to the correct dosage and regulations.

This research is a analysis with a case control study design. The sample of this study was 102 respondents with a case sample of 34 respondents and a control sample of 68 respondents. Data analysis used the chi-square test and T-test. The results of the relationship analysis showed that work was related to pesticides (p = 0,011), pesticide exposure period (p = 0,008), length of pesticide exposure (p = 0,008), frequency of pesticide use (p = 0,002), pesticide mixing practices (p = 0,01), use of Apersonal protective equipment (p = 0,007) associated with the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy.

Beach waste pollution can have an impact on human health in these areas. Beach waste data is needed to determine the solution for preventing beach/marine pollution. This study aims to estimate beach waste density, identify types of beach waste and factors of beach waste distribution in Semarang. The method used was descriptive observational with a cross-sectional research design. The sample was determined by purposive sampling and available 7 points of beach spread over four districts at Semarang. Beach waste samples took at each beach along 100m the width adjusts to the beach's width. The highest beach waste was found on Baruna Beach (North Semarang), with a total of 3,243 waste (227.4 kg). Moreover, the lowest beach waste was found on Mangkang Kulon (Tugu), with a total of 711 pieces of waste (63kg). From the 7 sample points of the beach, the average density of waste is 5.3 kg/m². Most waste types are plastics and woods. The different levels of waste on the beach area due to wind patterns and tidal conditions. This study's conclusion is the dominant factors of the beach waste levels are the pattern of wind, seawater currents, and density of river flow waste, while population density and urban economic growth affect the level of the city solid waste.
