H2S merupakan suatu gas tidak berwarna, mudah terbakar dan sangat beracun serta menimbulkan bau busuk yang menyengat. H2S bersumber dari timbulan sampah organik yang membusuk. Masyarakat yang tinggal di area TPA sampah Cibeureum pada umumnya hanya mengeluhkan bau busuk dari tumpukan sampah, tetapi tidak mengetahui bahwa terdapat gas H2S dalam tumpukan sampah itu yang memiliki risiko terhadap kesehatan. Kondisi paparan mendekati 50 ppm saja akan timbul gejala perasaan mengantuk dan sakit kepala. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah memberikan pemahaman mengenai risiko paparan gas H2S kepada masyarakat yang tinggal di area TPA sampah Cibeureum. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan metode penyuluhan dan dihadiri oleh 86 orang masyarakat yang tinggal di area TPA sampah Cibeureum. Hasil penyuluhan menunjukan bahwa masyarakat lebih mengetahui dan paham mengenai risiko paparan gas H2S terhadap kesehatan.

Kabupaten Cilacap merupakan salah satu kawasan pertanian terluas di Jawa Tengah. Luas lahan pertanian terdiri dari lahan sawah seluas 64.744 Ha dan lahan bukan sawah seluas 60.084 Ha. Luas lahan pertanian Kabupaten Cilacap dapat menjadi sumber risiko pajanan nitrit yang merupakan polusi pertanian. Mata pencaharian utama masyarakat Kabupaten Cilacap adalah petani dengan jumlah petani sebanyak 556.348 jiwa. Hal tersebut dapatmenjadi potensi risiko timbulnya gangguan kesehatan akibat pajanan nitrit dari aktivitas pertanian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui risiko kesehatan lingkungan akibat pencemaran nitrit (NO2) pada air sumur gali di kawasan pertanian Kabupaten Cilacap. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan kuantitatif dengan desain studi Analisis Risiko Kesehatan Lingkungan (ARKL). Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah masyarakat yang menggunakan sumur gali yang berjarak ≤150 meter dari sawah sebanyak 103 jiwa dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Teknik pengambilan data dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara serta melakukan pengukuran dengan alat. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis univariat dan Analisis Risiko Kesehatan Lingkungan(ARKL). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa rata rata konsentrasi nitrit 0,03 (mg/L), nilai maksimum konsentrasi nitrit 0,22 (mg/L) dan nilai minimum konsentrasi nitrit 0,005 (mg/L). Hasil analisis estimasi risiko kesehatan nonkarsinogenik pajanan nitrit menunjukkan karakteristik risiko (RQ) dari keseluruhan sampel uji adalah <1, artinya belum ada risiko yang menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan masyarakat. Disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pajanan nitrit pada air sumur gali petani yang tinggal dekat persawahan, namun pajanan tersebut belum menimbulkan risiko gangguan kesehatan masyarakat. Saran dari hasil penelitian yaitu perlu dilakukan pemantauan secara berkala pemeriksaan kualitas air sumur gali yang berada di kawasan pertanian Kabupaten Cilacap.

The impact of Covid -19 on individuals who are exposed or confirmed to Covid -19 can be a stressor for patients so they need social support in order to overcome stressors that have an impact on the patient's psychology. This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the social support of patients with confirmed Covid-19 cases. This type of qualitative research was conducted using a phenomenological approach, and participants were selected through purposive sampling. In total, 7 participants were aged 21 - 45 years. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with open-ended questions. The data were analyzed thematically. The results showed that the social support received by patients who were confirmed to be Covid-19 varied. Social support is very important to provide self-confidence, improve coping mechanisms and quality of life. Social support is very important for patients with Covid-19. Therefore, it is recommended for nurses to do proper planning so that the patient's social support needs can be met.

The process of spoilage of waste in the landfill produces air pollutant gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which was a colorless gas, highly flammable, and has a characteristic rotten egg odor. Communities around TPA who were continuously exposed to H2S gas has very at risk of experiencing health problems. The main entrance of H2S gas through the respiratory system so that it was quickly absorbed by the lungs rather than exposure through the mouth. This study aims to analyze the great health risks arising from exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas at the Cibeureum landfill in Banjar City. This research was a descriptive-analytic type with cross-sectional study design and it was analyzed with an environmental health risk assessment (EHRA) approach. The results of H2S concentration measurements were 0,004 ppm and still below the 0,02 ppm standard. Exposure projections indicate that people in the surrounding areas do not yet have non-carcinogenic risks (0,42≤1). The safe duration of exposure is 24 years. If residents still live around the landfill for more than 24 years, it will endanger them and cause non-carcinogenic health risks. Complaints caused by civilians around the landfill consist of coughing, headaches, colds, shortness of breath, chest pain, and sore throat.

The home environment is one of the factors that significantly influence the health status of its residents. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that is caused mainly by tuberculosis bacteria. This research is a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The sample is patients with tuberculosis, with as many as 41 respondents. The results showed that those who did not meet the requirements of the physical home environment were 31 (75.60%), and the event of AFB+ (acid-fast bacteria +) tuberculosis was 30 (73.2%). The statistical hypothesis test results showed a significant relationship between the physical home environment and the event of tuberculosis. These results contribute to the community and government paying more attention to and improving the quality of the physical home environment to reduce the number of tuberculosis spreads in the community.
