Standard Index of Air Pollutant, Meteorology Factor and Acute Respiratory Infections Occurrence in Pekanbaru

This study aims to know the relationship between standard index of air pollutant and meteorology factor with acute respiratory infections occurrence in Pekanbaru city. This ecological study involved community with acute respiratory infections. There is a correlation between standard index of air pollutant and meteorology with acute respiratory infections occurrence statistically and graphically. Comparison of acute respiratory infections occurrences one month earlier, PM10 in the same month, SO2 one month before, CO in the same month, CO one month before, O3 one month before, NO2 in the same month, NO2 one month before, temperature in the same month, the previous month's moisture, the same month's wind velocity, moon radiation in the same month, and the same month of fire were the predictor variables that hadan effect on the incidence of acute respiratory infections. The pattern of events follows fluctuations and meteorology. PM10 in the same month, SO2 one month before, CO in the same month, CO one month before, O3 in the same month, NO2 in the same month, NO2 one month before, moisture one monthbefore, solar radiation on month the same has a positive relationship with the incidence of acute respiratory infections in the city of Pekanbaru. Pekanbaru health office needs to consider the quality and theoretology in the acute respiratory infections prevention program

Konsumsi Ikan Laut Kadar Mercury Dalam Rambut Dan Kesehatan Nelayan Di Pantai Kenjeran Surabaya (Sea Fish Consumption, Degree of Mercury Content in Hair, and Fisherman Health at Surabaya Kenjeran Beach, Indonesia)

Surabaya Kenjeran Beach, as a part of Eastern coastal area at East Java, functions as a sea recreation place and fishing. The condition of Surabaya Kenderan Beach is polluted by Hg as observed by previous researchers. They suggested that water, sediment, and fish from Kenjeran beach were already contaminated by Hg at dangerous level. Fisherman communities is one of the group which have a risk of getting affected by methyl Hg, because they usually consume fish from sea. This research is to study the relationship between consumption of sea fish and degree of Hg in fisherman's hair, to measure the average degree of Hg in their hair and then to compare it with limit value. It is also studying the health disorder that likely appears as a result of Hg poisoning. This research took place at Kenjeran district, Bulak sub district, Surabaya. The number of samples for group who affected by Hg are 70 persons and controlled group are 45 person. Respondent's hair (research subject) was taken and then observed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) No Flame. In conclusion, statically there is a significant relationship between the consumption of sea fish and the degree of Hg in hair. The average degree of Hg in the affected group's hair is higher than that of the controlled group. However, it does not exceed the limit value recommended by the National Research Council (NRC). Also, there is significant relations between degree of Hg in hair and healthy disorder sigh (subjective symptoms)

Hubungan Faktor Fisik-kimia Lingkungan dengan Keanekaragaman Echinodermata pada Daerah Pasang Surut Pantai Kairatu

The use of the sea resources is not balance with the conservation of sea environment. These effects can decrease the quality of sea resources. One of the sea resources is echinoderms. This sea resource decreased because all the mollucans catch them without considering their age and size (over fishing). Therefore, it is important to conduct future research to see the condition of echinoderms in order to survive its communities. The study found that the environmental physico-chemical conditions in Kairatu sea was highest. The average of temperature was found between 31.57-33.01 oC, the salinity average was between 32.94-33.94% and the pH was between 7.70-7.99. Echinoderms found in these areas were 12 and the areas were 3 classes, 6 orders, 6 families, and 9 genera, with the totals of 498 individuals were found in Kairatu village. The general diversity index at the area was 2.049. While the regression analysis found that there was significant relationship between environmental physico­chemical factors with the diversity index for these 6 types
