“…To control the spread of COVID-19, the CDC recommends the use of medical masks for people who are active in areas with a high risk of COVID-19 transmission (CDC, 2022).It is expected that all people will use medical or cloth masks to prevent the risk of being infected with COVID-19 (Fitria et al, 2022). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) has increased significantly worldwide (Torres and De-la-Torre, 2021).…”

The increase in mask waste and a lack of understanding about the management of single-use mask waste raises the potential for environmental pollution and COVID-19 transmission. Aim: This study aimed to assess the level of understanding of medical mask waste management and strengthening health protocols in controlling COVID-19 infection in Banjar Purwa Santhi, Benoa, Badung Regency. Methodology and Results: A cross-sectional method and descriptive study design were used with a sample of 100 respondents selected via stratified sampling. The research and service activities at Banjar Purwa Santhi Benoa include public campaign and assessment of the level understanding of medical mask waste management. Based on univariate analysis, 91% of respondents know that mask waste contains hazardous and toxic substances. If mask waste is disposed carelessly, 98% of respondents stated that it can pollute the environment, and 98% of respondents also stated that it has the potential to become a means of transmitting COVID-19. However, 85% of respondents disposed of the masks in the household trash. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Respondents had a good level of knowledge about health protocols and mask waste management but have not separated masks from household waste. By holding the community service activity, it is hoped that changes in community behavior will occur.

“…Sampah masker medis digolongkan sebagai limbah yang sulit untuk didaur ulang karena bahan penyusun dari masker medis adalah bahan yang terbuat dari serat dan campuran kimia lainnya [3]. Ada beberapa cara yang bisa digunakan dalam mengatasi limbah masker medis yaitu dengan cara metode penguapan (autoklaf) dan metode pembakaran (insinerasi) [4].…”

Masker medis merupakan alat kesehatan yang digunakan sebagai alat yang mengurangi penyebaran virus Korona/Covid-19, tetapi pada kenyataannya memiliki dampak yang merugikan lingkungan. Guna mengatasi permasalahan tersebut dilakukan penelitian memanfaatkan limbah masker ke dalam geoteknik sebagai geosintentik. Dari hasil uji laboratorium didapatkan hasil bahwa jenis tanah yang didapatkan tergolong dalam kelompok MH. Setelah itu dilakukan pengujian uji geser langsung dimana untuk mengetahui perbandingan tanah asli dengan tanah yang diberi nilai tambah masker, hasil dari pengujian serta pengolahan data nilai kuat geser dari tanah asli adalah sebesar 0,2211 kg/cm2 dan mengalami kenaikan dari 9,1% - 25,3% dengan penambahan masker medis 0,5% masa pemeraman 1 dan 3 hari, lalu mengalami penurunan dengan penambahan masker medis 1% masa pemeraman 1 hari sebesar 25,3%, lalu mengalami kenaikan dengan penambahan yang sama tetapi dengan masa pemeraman 3 hari sebesar 14,8%.

“…Disposable masks generally consist of three layers, namely the outer layer (spun-bond polypropylene) made of non-absorbent material as protection from splashing liquids, the middle layer (melt-blow polypropylene) which functions to prevent droplets and aerosols through electrostatic effects, and the inner layer (spun-bond polypropylene) made of an absorbent material such as cotton to absorb steam (Figure 2) (Prata et al, 2020;Fadare & Okoffo, 2020;Xu & Ren, 2021). Disposable masks are primarily made of polypropylene and high-density polyethylene, and may contain other polymeric materials such as polyester, polyurethane, polystyrene and polyacrylonitrile (Fitria et al, 2022). Polypropylene with a density of 0.946 g/cm 3 is the main material that is widely used in disposable masks.…”

At present, disposable masks have become a necessity and habit for the general public. This causes an increase in the volume of single-use mask waste generation. If disposable mask waste is not managed properly and correctly it can harm living things such as fauna and contains micro plastics which have the potential to be a source of pollution in the environment. This study aims to analyze the potential impact of household-scale disposable mask waste pollution in Cinere District. The method used in this research is statistics and literature study. The results showed that the average use of disposable face masks in Cinere District was 2 pieces/day with a weight of 3.54 grams and it was estimated that the people of Cinere District produced 76,494 disposable masks waste/day with an extrapolation of the potential impact of micro plastic pollution reaching 67.31 billion/day which will be released into the environment. This will be a heavy burden on the environment, therefore good cooperation is needed between the community and the government in managing disposable mask waste on a household scale in order to reduce and prevent pollution of disposable mask waste in the environment.
