The Chromium(VI) waste treatment system in the textile industry activities in Indonesia is an environmental problem that really needs attention. This is because Chromium(VI) is a heavy metal that falls into the category of hazardous and toxic materials. So that it can have a negative impact on the environment and health of the body. One simple processing effort to reduce the amount of Chromium(VI) in waste is the biosorption method using organic adsorbents. One of these organic adsorbents is Salacca zalacca seeds. Salacca zalacca seeds can be used as an alternative adsorbent because they have cellulose fibers that can adsorb Chromium(VI) ions in waste. This research was conducted using a sample of clothing coloring waste obtained from one of the textile engineering schools in Bandung, Indonesia. In addition, research was also conducted on determining the right dosage so that the adsorption results were maximal. The results showed that Salacca zalacca seed powder was able to adsorb as much as 76.21% of the amount of Chromium(VI) in 100 mL of waste samples with a dose of 4 grams. These results indicate the level of effectiveness and proper absorption of powdered Salacca zalacca seeds. So that this method can be used as an alternative method to treat Chromium(VI) waste in a simpler and cheaper way.

Pesticides are very useful in many areas of human activities, especially in agriculture to ensure food availability. However, pesticides also have a negative impact on the environment and health. Pesticides are classified as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are chemicals that can interfere with the metabolic system, binding and eliminating hormones in the body, one of which is the danger of carcinogenicity. The concentration hazard present in Pesticide was experiment to decrease the concentration by using rice husk absorbent powder. This research is an experimental research that aims to reduce the concentration of pyridaben compounds contained in pesticides by using rice husk absorbent powder. By varying the sample treatment, variations of optimum concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/L, contact time of 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, 4 days and 7 days, and weight of rice husk powder 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 mg. Analysis performed on pesticides is the content of pyridaben in pestisida samite 135EC.             From this research, the best result was obtained at concentration 30 mg/L with 29,74% absorption efficiency, 24 hours contact time with 92,36% absorption efficiency, and 150 mg of rice husk powder with 54,88% absorption efficiency. This condition indicates that rice husk powders are effectively used to decrease the concentration of pyridaben compounds because of their effectiveness above 50%.

The increasing use of detergents as cleaning agents in the community potentially result in pollution of the water environment, this is supported by the quality of the well water having a high mineral hardness. When cleaning agents flow into waters through the river, it had a negative impact on the environment and health. The results showed that pollutant loads actually came from the use of detergent in 55 households at 0,323 mg/lt/month or 5,924 mg/day, while the standard maximum pollutant load of detergent waste at 0,0016 mg/lt/month or 0,0292 mg/day. The results concluded that the pollutant load value in this research was higher than maximum pollutant load value, suggesting that pollutant load of detergent waste provided high contribution to pollution of the land and waters in such area, thereby the surface water quality decreased ground water quality, incidence of some disease such as diarrhea, heavy metal poisoning and skin disease. Therefore, it is recommended that households use environment-friendly detergents because it is easier to biodegrade. They should make simple domestic waste treatment equipment using biofilter technique.

One of the pests that attack corn plants in Banyumas is the armyworm pest (Spodoptera frugiperda) which has been endemic since early 2019. This pest can cause damage to up to 70% of the total land area of the corn crop. Generally, pest control is carried out using chemical pesticides which have a negative impact on the environment and health. Therefore, to overcome these negative impacts it is necessary to do better control such as control using vegetable pesticides or biopesticides. One of the plants that can be used as vegetable pesticides is the gadung tuber which contains diosgenin, steroid, saponin, alcohol, and phenol compounds. This study aims to determine the difference in the effectiveness of the vegetable pesticides of the gadung tubers which were extracted using two different methods, namely by blending and boiling. The resulting vegetable pesticides were applied to 25 samples of the pest Spodoptera frugiperda. The method of analysis used a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that after the application of vegetable pesticides twice the samples of the caterpillars used were dead, which was indicated by the visual death appearance of Spodoptera frugiperda where the body turned stiff and secreted fluid, the color of the body turned blackish brown (burnt). The difference in the effectiveness of the results of the application of vegetable pesticides was seen in the mortality rate of caterpillars where for the caterpillars that were applied with boiling of 25 samples, 12 caterpillars that died on the second day, the third day 5, the fourth day 4 caterpillars and the fifth day 4 caterpillars. Meanwhile, for the death rate of caterpillars that were applied with blending of 25 samples, the caterpillars that died on the second day were 10, the third day 7, the fourth day 6, and the fifth day as many as 2 caterpillars. The application of both gadung tuber vegetable pesticides made by blending and boiling is considered equally effective in controlling armyworm pests but seen from the faster mortality rate using vegetable pesticides made by blending.

A musculoskeletal disorder is highly dependent on the workplace design. The workers whose job requires repetitive tasks, are more prone to this disorder. Textile industry is one of the labor intensive industries and most of its jobs require continuous engagement with the work. Sewing machine operators in this sector due to workplace design are facing high risk of health issues due to focused attention and static posture of the body. Understanding the health issues linked with continuous working hours and static posture need to be addressed. Both Government and non- government organizations need to be better involved in designing interventions targeting these people and protecting them from such health risks.The present study was conducted in Hisar district from Haryana state in which respondents were selected randomly. Total number of respondents were 60 in which 28 were males and 32 were females with objectives to assess work organization and work space design and to find out the occupational health problems and musculoskeletal symptoms among sewing machine operators. The results showed that maximum numbers of the respondents (68.4%) were took break of fixed duration and (53.4%) respondents were work along with others. Majority (43.3%) respondents were the first experience of MSK symptoms from 7 days to 12 months followed by (33.3%) respondents in 2-3 years.

No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, this book challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues against the normalization of markets in bodily services and parts. The book explores the risks associated with metaphors of property and the reasons why the commodification of the body remains problematic. The book asks what is wrong with thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? What, if anything, is the difference between markets in sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other markets we commonly applaud? The book contends that body markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in some way, a feature of all labor markets. But it also emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to the common experience of living as embodied beings in the same world. Examining the complex issue of body exceptionalism, the book demonstrates that treating the body as property makes human equality harder to comprehend.
