Kadar Gas Hidrogen Sulfida (H2s) Dan Keluhan Subyektif Pemulung Tpa Benowo Surabaya Tahun 2016

Abstract

H2S gas produced from the decomposition of waste with bad odor lead to subjective complaint forscavenger at Benowo, Surabaya the landfill when they are exposed too long. Preliminary survey on subjectivecomplaint showed that there were three people experienced dizziness, 4 people experience eye irritation, 2 withcoughing, and 6 people did not experience any complaint. The aim of the study was to determine the level of H2Sgas and scavengers‟ health complaints in Benowo, Surabaya landfill.This is a descriptive research with cross sectional approach. The population was 350 inhabitants with 36 ofthem were used as population. The primary data collection was carried out by observation, questionnaires andmeasurements of air samples, while the secondary data was the map of Benowo landfill. Data processing techniqueused editing, tabulation, textular.The results of the study on H2S gas examination in Benowo landfill showed that the average exceeds thethreshold value of 0.20 ppm. The result of measurements of the highest temperatures was during the day of 35,0⁰Cwith 54% humidity and wind speed of 1.34 m/s. 14 scavengers suffered minor complaint, 16 suffered minorcomplaint, and 6 suffered heavy complaint. High levels of H2S gas can be influenced by the accumulation of garbageand climate. High levels of H2S gas can also cause the occurrence of subjective complaints of scavengers.The conclusion shows that on the low level of H2S, the scavengers suffered mild and moderate complaints,at high levels of H2S, the scavengers suffered heavy complaints. The relevant institutions should monitor air qualityboth physically and chemically. The scavengers should conduct periodic medical examinations. The next research canuse other air pollutant parameters.Keywords: H2S gas Level, subjective complaints, scavengers

Analisis Risiko Paparan Gas H2S Terhadap Pemulung di TPA Air Dingin Kota Padang

“…Umur terkait dengan penuaan, dan penurunan elastisitas paru-paru berdampak pada tes fungsi paru-paru. Jika seseorang menghirup gas pencemar seperti H2S, itu dapat menyebabkan masalah kesehatan (15); (19).…”

“…Gangguan kesehatan menjadi lebih parah seiring lamanya terpapar. Ada keluhan tentang gejala gangguan pernafasan selama dua hingga enam tahun dengan paparan konsentrasi yang sama (19).…”

Analisis Kadar Hidrogen Sulfida Dan Keluhan Pernapasan Pada Pemulung Di Tpa Puuwatu Kota Kendari

“…Pemulung di TPA Puuwatu Kota Kendari mayoritas adalah laki-laki. Pemulung dengan jenis kelamin laki-laki lebih berisiko mengalami keluhan gangguan pernapasan dibandingkan perempuan (Ivana, Rachmaniyah, and Nurmayanti, 2017).Volume paru-paru perempuan lebih kecil dari laki-laki disebabkan perbedaan kekuatan otot maksimum paru dan luas permukaan tubuh (Umar, 2014). Dengan volume paru-paru yang besar, membuat laki-laki lebih banyak menerima asupan H2Sdibandingkan perempuan melalui jalur inhalasi.…”

“…Pertambahan umur mempengaruhi jaringan paru-paru, fungsi elastisitas jaringan paru-paru berkurang dan kekuatan bernafas menjadi lemah akibatnya volume udara pada saat pernafasan akan menjadi lebih sedikit. Semakin tua seseorang maka daya tahan tubuh semakin berkurang dan lebih rentan terkena gangguan kesehatan (Ivana, Rachmaniyah, and Nurmayanti 2017).…”

Utilization of Mendong Plants-Activated Charcoal as H2S and NO2 Gas Adsorbent: Preliminary Study

“…States humans can normally smell H2S at a concentration of 0.0005-0.3 ppm and at a concentration of 500 ppm, H2S can cause death with respiratory arrest [8]. Studies on H2S have been carried out resulting that it has an effect on public health such as coughing, headaches, asthma, and sleeplessness [9]. Other studies conducted show that there are excess H2S levels or exceeding the threshold in a rubber industry and landfills (TPA) [10].…”
