Environmental Health Risk

Every process of industrial activity generates potential waste as air pollutants. Air pollution needs to be analyzed to estimate the magnitude of the risk posed. The purpose of this study was to investigate environmental health risks in exposure to SO2, NO2, NH3, and dust gases for workers in Surabaya, Gresik, and Sidoarjo. The method of this research is by collecting secondary data was obtained from BBTKLPP Surabaya. The secondary data collected was calculated using the Environmental Health Risk Analysis (ARKL) method by finding the concentration value, the amount of intake, and the characteristics of the maximum and minimum health risks of each chemical agent in the air parameters in the work environment. The research results show that the concentrations of exposure to SO2, NO2, NH3, and dust in the safe category at the industrial centers of Surabaya, Gresik, and Sidoarjo for workers.

Ethnographic Narratives

This chapter introduces the ways in which e-pyropolitics are embodied by exploring the illness narratives and bodily distress experiences of several copper burners. The author draws on ethnographic narratives to explore how Agbogbloshie workers narrate, understand, and refer to their own bodily distress to make sense of the toxic exposures and environmental health risks they face. In addition to exploring how toxic embodiment and experience break down or reconfigure demarcations of body and environment, the author highlights the ways in which toxicity and corporality become the site of laudable environmental health risk mitigation efforts that ironically fail to transform or reduce toxic corporality in an enduring postcolonial context. In this way, the author explores how a solutions-based intervention in Agbogbloshie overlooks the complexity and diversity of eco-corporeal relations in a tech metal extraction zone where bodies, toxins, and economies intersect.

Water is a basic necessity for life that most importance substance. Water must be available sufficiently in quality, quantity and continuity for human survival. Ideal drinking water should be clean, colorless, non-sticky and odorless. Drinking water should not contain pathogenic germs and all living things that endanger human health, do not contain chemicals that can change bodily functions and can be economically harmful. The purpose of this study is to analyze environmental health risks in drinking water parameters for workers in Pasuruan Regency in 2017. The method of this research is by collecting secondary data, which is 32 points of location of drinking water in Pasuruan Regency. Secondary data were obtained from the results of laboratory tests, and data on the various parameters of BBTKLPP laboratory examination along with SNI and related regulations and literature from several sources to support the available data. Then the secondary data obtained is calculated the maximum and minimum of concentration values, intake and health risk characteristics of each chemical agent in the parameters of drinking water. The research results show that the concentration of Fe in drinking water exceeds the predetermined quality standard, namely Cmax 0.8364.

Buriganga River

The efforts of modern civilization to create an environment to meet human aspirations have successfully resulted in constant improvements of our lifestyle, but it has increased risks to human and ecological health. This situation has motivated many scientists throughout the world to analyze the environmental factors that can affect our health or ecology and to calculate the levels of risk. In Bangladesh development activities and utilization of the river pose a great threat to the health of the existing natural environmental system, particularly for the important river Buriganga of the capital city, Dhaka, due to the pollution of the river water. A study was carried out to observe the ecological health hazards of the Buriganga river and their risk to human health. Several random samples of water were collected from different spots on the river from September to December 2006. The samples were analyzed to determine water quality and associated environmental health risks. The study revealed that the water is high in biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphate (PO4 -3), ammonia, organic matters and nutrients, etc. It also revealed huge environmental health risks and possible ecological disruption of this river. Finally, the research recommends a sustainable policy framework on how the pollution could significantly be reduced by using different appropriate measures. Key words: Environmental health risk, ecological disruption, sustainable policy, water quality, Buriganga river, Bangladesh  doi: 10.3126/hn.v3i0.1915 Hydro Nepal:Journal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue No. 3, July 2008.

Abstract: Ambon has population that more increasing. It implies an increase number of vehicles that will increase the concentration of contaminants in the air. The aim of this study is to analyze the Environmental Health Risk Assessment (ARKL) to determine the risk of exposure of air pollutants on the health of employees shop around Jalan Diponegoro Ambon. This study used cross sectional design with Environmental Health Risk Assessment (ARKL) approach. There were 15 people samples according inclusion criteria specifi ed. The results showed that the average concentration of SO2, NO2, O3, dust, Pb, and NH3 the highest at 14:00 to 15:00 WIT and the lowest at 18:00 to 19:00 WIT. The average risk quotient of the pollutants shows the value of Risk Quontient (RQ) < 1. It was concluded that all air pollutants in Jalan Diponegoro Ambon City still safe and still under National Ambient Air Quality Standards if in a short time, but instead will be very high risk to the health impact if employees and the communities around Jalan Diponegoro exposed for a long time and continuously. Therefore, monitoring, supervision, and guidance by the administration in Ambon City will be needed to minimize their health problems as well as planting trees to absorb air pollutants around the highway in the city of Ambon.Keywords: SO2, NO2, O3, Dust, Pb, NH3, ARKL
