This study aims to determine the relationship between the concentration of airborne lead exposure to anemia in children aged 7 to 13 living near the informal used lead-acid battery recycling area in Jabodetabek. A crosssectional study was conducted at four locations in Jabodetabek (Tangerang, Bogor, Bekasi and Depok), in which there were informal battery recycling. The study population was children aged 7 to 13 living in the area of informal used lead-acid battery recycling units. The number of children who were willing to participate was 418 children. The respondents were interviewed by using structured questionnaires. Environmental samples measured the airborne lead concentration using High Volume Air Sampler (HVAS) and analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). To identify anemia, blood Hb measurements were taken using HemoCue® Hb 201+ System. The Logistic Regression risk factor model was used to determine the correlation of airborne lead with anemia in children. The results showed an average concentration of airborne lead (n = 52) was 2.96 μg/m3. The average blood Hb level of children (n = 418) was 11.89 g/ dL, with prevalence of anemia of 51.2%. High airborne lead concentration is strongly associated with an increased anemia incidence in children (OR: 3.96; 95% CI: 1.83-8.56) after behavioral factors of calcium intake was controlled (OR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.46-1.01). This study reveals the correlation between airborne lead exposures and anemia as well as underlines the needs to strengthen the policies, supervision, and development of strategies to reduce airborne lead exposure.Keywords

In 2017, many schools were not yet equipped with good sanitation facilities. In Indonesia, 1.5 million children under five die of diarrhea every year. This community partnership program aims to increase students’ knowledge about environmental sanitation and improve environmental sanitation behavior. The method used quantitative and qualitative method. Quantitative method is resultant from questionnaires data and qualitative method used to direct observation through Focus Group Discussion (FGD. The data of students’ knowledge and behavior were analyzed using bivariate analysis. The results of this activity showed that at the pretest, the elementary school students’ knowledge was 90.62%, which was in the good category, and the peer educator’s knowledge was 82.14%, which was in the good category. At the posttest, the elementary school students’ knowledge increased to 94.08%, which was in the good category, and the peer educator’s knowledge increased to 90%, which was in the good category. The elementary school students’ sanitation behavior was 67.60%, which can be categorized as good. Correlation test results showed no significant relationship between students’ knowledge and behavior (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that there was an increase in students’ and peer educators’ knowledge about environmental sanitation after the implementation of community partnership program. Unfavorable sanitation behaviors were seen in the behaviors of littering, not washing hands before eating, and consuming unhealthy snack. Meanwhile, good sanitation behavior was seen in the behavior of bathing twice a day and defecating in the toilet/water closetKeywords

This study aimed to analyze the association between ozone (OSUB>3) exposure and the impairment pulmonary function of the highway sweeper workers
This research applied a cross-sectional study design. The respondents of this study were 78 respondents and total samples of pulmonary function measurement were 30 people who have been working for more than 5 years which derived from 6 Villages in Jagakarsa. The measurement of O3 using an ultraviolet ray absorption method. The respondent data collection and impairment pulmonary functions were conducted through questionnaire distribution, body height and weight, also spirometry measurement. The data analysis was conducted with univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis.
The average of measurement within 3 days of O3 concentration was 193.96 ug/m 3 . The respondents intake average value is 0.000296 mg/kg/day; respondents age of ≤ 43 years old are 42 people (53.8%); mostly wearing mask when working, there are 68 people (87.2%); respondents who have smoking habit are higher which are 51 respondents (65.4%); most of the respondents who are not doing physical activity are 42 people (53.8%). From 30 respondents, 17 respondents (56.7%) have impaired pulmonary function. The bivariate analysis result shows that smoking habits (p=0.011) and physical activities (p=0.049) have a relation to the impaired pulmonary function. According to the multivariable analysis, the smoking habit has the most influence on the impaired pulmonary function with the Odds Ratio OR =7.779 (95%CI= 1.099-55.054).
The study result shows that there is no significant relationship intake of ozone exposure in the ambient and impaired pulmonary function. There are other factors that may reduce pulmonary function which are ages, smoking habits, and physical activity.
