“…Environmental education teaches students about the good and bad effects of their actions. It builds students' skills and attitudes to reinforce their thinking, uphold their values in life, and influence them in making decisions (Teksoz, 2011). Environmental education obtained by students affects the process of problem solving and finding solutions, so that students are interested in behaving well towards the environment through small actions that they can do independently (Husamah et al, 2020).…”

Environmental education provides opportunities to instill character education for adolescents in globalization era. However, positive effects of environmental education on character building are rarely studied. This study aimed at analyzing the effect of environmental education on character building of school members. This study used descriptive qualitative method with purposive sampling technique. SJHS 1 Wajak and SJHS 1 Gondanglegi, Malang-East Java were selected as research locations as they were Adiwiyata schools. The data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The results showed that environmental education had affected student character building. Various activities and existing regulations affect student characters, such as honest, self-confidence, responsibility, discipline, caring for fellow human beings, caring about nature, courage, religion, and creativity. Habituation and modeling are strategies used in constructing characters. Therefore, environmental education is recommended to be implemented in various schools as an effort to improve the character of school members.

“…Education is critical to social and economic development and has a profound impact on population health (Zimmerman & Woolf, 2014). Environmental education has shown that people of all ages have positive attitudes and are aware of air pollution issues associated with population increase, industrialization and consumption patterns (Teksoz, 2011). The majority of the respondents were also employed (N=73, 33.5 percent) and full-time house person (N=53, 24.3 percent).…”

Controlled dumpsite without any liner, leachate treatment and engineered measures can emit landfill gases and hazardous air pollutants to the surrounding environment. This study was conducted to investigate self-reported respiratory symptoms among residents living within 2 km radius of Beris Lalang Landfill, Bachok, Kelantan.A total of 218 respondents aged between 18 and 65 years old were involved in this cross-sectional study from January to March 2019. The questionnaires were adopted from the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire and opted for the symptom score approach. Majority of the respondents were females (64.7 percent), non-smokers (85.3 percent), Malay (94.0 percent) and received tertiary education (43.6 percent).Respondents were reported to have higher proportions of sneezing, runny or blocked noses (35.8 percent) and coughing attack (36.7 percent) compared to the other respiratory symptoms. Associations were reported between respiratory symptoms with gender and exposure to tobacco smoke. Weak significant correlations were found between symptoms score with age of respondents and duration of living in the current home (p<0.05). This finding implied that proximity to dumpsites did not affect the respiratory symptoms of the communities living within 2 km radius of the dumpsite.This study provides initial evidence about reported symptoms in populations living near to a landfill as a baseline for future epidemiologic assessments towards sustainable health management.
