Respiratory Complaints

Garbage is one source of air pollution. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a result of the decomposition of garbage that has an odor like rotten eggs, that will cause odor in the surrounding area. The respiratory system is the most sensitive organ for H2S in the air, so if exposed to this gas continuously can cause respiratory complaints in humans. The purpose of this study was to analyze the levels of H2S in the Super Depo Sutorejo and respiratory complaints on officers. This study used an observational study with cross-sectional approach. The samples were 21 people. Data were analyzed decriptively. H2S measurements held at two spot in the morning and afternoon. The results showed H2S levels between 0.6 μg/m3 -1,4 μg/m3. The result was still below the quality standard East Java Governor Regulation Number 10 of 2009 which is 42 μg/m3 or 2 ppm. 16 people (76.2%) had experienced respiratory complaints. Perceived respiratory complaints included cough (57.1%), shortness of breath (23.8%) and itchy throat (52.4%). The conclusion of this study was H2S levels in Super Depo Sutorejo still below the quality standard established and the most respiratory complaints suffered by officer was cough.

Increasing volume in the vehicle lane it will increase the concentration of SO2, NO2, TSP, and Dust on the roadside both outdoor and indoor. The Police Officer of the Street Officers has a high level of exposure to motor vehicle gas emissions because they are people who throughout their work are always on the highway, so they will often be exposed and can interfere with health, especially the health of the respiratory system. The research aims to model air pollution exposure to lung function in traffic police. This study uses a cross sectional risk analysis design to estimate non cancer hazard index (HI) health risk by dividing the intake (I) value with References Concentration (RfC) and making a risk management model. Broadly speaking, the research was carried out in 4 important stages, namely, the first stage of the initial survey and field observations on 100 traffic police in Palembang City selected proportionally random sampling for the initial risk assessment data collection, the second stage Spirometry measurements and selected air sample data collection (NO2, SO2, TSP, Dust), and the third stage of laboratory analysis and spirogram reading, and the fourth stage Modeling of risk factors Exposure to air pollution to lung function capacity in Traffic Police. The average concentration of pollutants in the air = NO2: 0.478 mg / m3; SO2: 0.856 mg / m3; TSP: 7.810 mg / m3; PM10: 3,591 mg / m3. Lung capacity of traffic police, average FEV1: 2.81 L and FVC: 3.63 L. Realtime exposure assessment NO2: 0.055; SO2: 0.923; TSP: 2,943 and PM10: 4,8. The model of exposure to air pollution is needed to control the health effects of NO2, SO2, TSP and PM10. Control modifies the standard or quality standard, where the HI value or Hazard Index that exceeds 1 can be controlled by controlling the intake value (I) inhalation of NO2, SO2, TSP and PM10
