Today, air pollution is a serious problem faced by industrial countries. The impact caused by air pollution is not only a direct impact on human health, but also can damage the environment. One of the sources of air pollution are now common is the forest fires which generate a compound emissions are carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).Several studies in the medical literature documenting a causal link between air pollution, especially CO 2 and negative impacts on health after short-term exposure, especially the unknown long-term health consequences of exposure to pollution. Some studies related to fire management models and CO 2 emission reductions of them use the method of mapping risk of forest fires and the use of reforestation and the elimination of illegal logging is considered effective to implement.
Purpose: This study aims to determine the density of Aedes aegypti larvae based on the knowledge, attitudes and actions of terminal managers at the Regional Terminal Daya Makassar City. Methods: The research design used was descriptive observational. There are two samples in this study, namely the container sample and the terminal manager sample. The sampling technique for containers used total sampling method and for terminal managers, purposive sampling method was used. Data were analyzed by univariate. Results: The results of the analysis showed that the number of positive containers for larvae was 69 (CI = 33%) with a value of DF = 8 and was a high density category. A total of 9 respondents (39.1%) had good knowledge and 14 respondents (60.9%) had poor knowledge. A total of 10 respondents (43.5%) had a good attitude and as many as 13 respondents (56.5%) had a bad attitude. In terms of action, (4.3%) of the respondents reflected good, while 22 respondents (95.7%) had actions in the unfavorable category. Conclusion: It is concluded that increasing public knowledge is essential to eradicate mosquito nests in the community. By enhancing the knowledge of the individuals, the PSN activities carried out routinely can break the life cycle of the mosquitoes that can cause DHF.The level of education that the terminal manager has, the better the ability to absorb the information provided will affect the knowledge held by the terminal manager.
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.
