Chronic kidney failure is a serious health problem that not only attacks adults, but can also develop since childhood. One of the main risk factors is unhealthy living habits, including lack of personal hygiene, consumption of unhealthy food, and minimal physical activity. In order to increase awareness regarding the importance of a clean and healthy lifestyle among children, health education efforts are needed from an early age, especially in schools as an environment where children spend a lot of time. Many children do not understand the relationship between personal hygiene, diet and kidney health. Based on the results of interviews with teachers and school health staff, there are several unhealthy behaviors among students, such as rarely washing their hands, excessive consumption of sweet drinks, and low daily physical activity. In addition, only a few students understand the importance of maintaining hydration and adequate water intake for kidney health. This outreach activity will be carried out in several stages, including counseling about the importance of a clean and healthy lifestyle, demonstrations teaching correct hand washing and distribution of leaflets about information on a clean and healthy lifestyle.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) can have a significant impact on hearing function. Recurrent middle ear infections and inflammation can damage the eardrum, hearing bones, and other auditory structures. Depending on the severity of the infection and response to treatment, temporary or permanent hearing loss may occur. People often use tools such as cotton swabs to clean the ears. The use of cotton buds can damage the ear canal. Repeated trauma can cause the ears to become inflamed. One of the symptoms of ear infections is watery ears. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the frequency and frequency of using ear swabs with symptoms of watery ears. This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach using the Fisher chi-square exact test. The target audience of this study is students, the survey was conducted using an online Google Form, And the technique used is purposive sampling. The results of this study revealed that the study participants amounted to 245 respondents. The age group of cotton bud users is the most 20 years old (36%). Of the 245 respondents who met the inclusion criteria, 96 respondents. The frequency of using cotton buds is the most < 4 times a week (91.7%). The highest number of cotton buds used < 5 cotton buds per ear toilet (88.5%). Conclusion of the study there was a significant relationship between the frequency of cotton bud use and watery ear complaints (P value = 0.43). There was no relationship between the amount of cotton bud use and watery ear complaints (P value = 0.43).

The problem of household waste/waste is no stranger to Indonesian society. This happens because of the lack of socialization in the community about how important it is to keep the environment clean. The Kogoro Settlement, Tanjungpinang City, is one of the areas experiencing household garbage/waste problems, which until now have not found a clear solution to this problem. Residential areas, which are almost entirely above sea level, exacerbate the situation in the area due to the large amount of garbage and waste carried by sea water. This problem must be resolved as soon as possible to maintain sustainability and the ecosystem runs smoothly. Therefore the government of Tanjungpinang City issued Regional Regulation No. 03 of 2015 concerning waste management, which aims to solve various problems and provide the concept of handling management as well as sanctions for those who violate these rules. In this study, we will examine the policies implemented by the Tanjungpinang City government in dealing with environmental problems. Using the Normative-Empirical method, this research will delve deeper into these environmental problems which include the existence of sanctions, ideas, rules in Tanjungpinang including the Kosgoro settlement. However, in implementing these rules, the Government of Kosgoro did not implement them as they should. This is supported by the people who are only given advice to throw garbage into trash cans which are quite far above the settlement due to the narrow access road in the Kosgoro area. Lack of government attention makes people less aware of managing household waste and waste.  

In early March 2024, black oil waste was found along the shores of Bintan Island in the Riau Islands Province. This is not the first time an oil spill has been discovered on Bintan Island; such incidents recur annually. This article discusses the legal policies of the applicable maritime law convention related to this case, as well as the environmental restoration mechanisms due to oil spills in marine waters. This research adopts a juridical-normative approach, employing the Statute Approach. Data analysis is conducted qualitatively, using secondary data sources, and employing legal document analysis and literature study methods. UNCLOS provides a strong legal foundation for countries to preserve and protect the marine environment, including actions in response to oil spills. The legal provisions discussed in this article are Article 1 Paragraph (4), Article 192, Article 193, Article 233, Article 220, and Article 230 of UNCLOS 1982, covering definitions, state obligations and autonomy, the role of states, enforcement authority, and compensation obligations. The primary objective in the initial emergency response is to control the movement of the oil as much as possible and minimize its toxic impact on the marine environment. Various methods that can be chosen include in-situ burning, oil dispersants, using absorbents, and bioremediation. After cleaning the oil from the waters, attention shifts to rehabilitating the affected ecosystem, involving restoration steps such as restoring natural habitats and replanting marine vegetation, with collaboration between the government, community, and local entities for positive future impacts.  

Cooking oil that has been heated three times is very dangerous for human health if reused, but if it is thrown away directly it can pollute the environment, such as blockages in sewer pipes, pollution of clean water, river pollution and soil pollution. This community service activity aims to increase motivation and equip residents, especially housewives, in processing cooking oil waste, which was previously liquid waste that could pollute the environment. This service activity includes several stages, namely the service team planning, coordinating with the PKK Chair in Joyusuran Village, socializing and the process of making soap products from used cooking oil. This activity simulates processing used cooking oil into solid laundry soap as an environmentally friendly product and can reduce environmental pollution due to disposal of used cooking oil.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a way for the community to be able to maintain the quality of their health. One indicator that is used as a reference is Handwashing with Soap (CTPS), because it can prevent the occurrence of diarrhea and ISPA, especially in vulnerable groups such as school-age children. However, learning about health in schools often uses inappropriate methods and media. This activity aims to increase students knowledge about washing hands with soap at UPT SDN 060831. The activity method is carried out by counseling and health education about good and correct CTPS at school. The results of this activity have been socialization and counseling to 25 students, in addition to that, handwashing with soap (CTPS) was also carried out at UPT SDN 060831. The conclusion of this activity is that students are able to practice how to wash their hands properly using soap and flowing water.

Population growth continues to increase, making the need for clean water increasingly increasing. The quality of raw water needed as a source of clean water also requires further processing to ensure it meets quality standards. To make clean water and drinking water suitable for consumption by the community, the role of the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) is needed. PT Hanarida Tirta Birawa is one of the companies that serves clean water needs in Sidoarjo Regency. Clean Water Treatment Plants will have a big impact on environmental quality, especially water. The parameters that have the greatest influence on the content of raw water that will be processed into clean water are Fe (Ferrom/Iron) and Mn (Manganese) contained in raw water. At PT Hanarida Tirta Birawa, the manganese (Mn) content ranges from 0.04 to 0.13 mg/l and iron (Fe) ranges from 0.11 to 0.17 mg/l and meets the quality standards of RI Minister of Health Regulation No. 492/Menkes/PER/IV/2010. The reduction in processed water reached 87.23% for manganese and 93.29% for iron.

In the midst of rapid industrial progress and global economic growth, the use of plastic has increased dramatically, causing serious environmental problems due to the accumulation of plastic waste. One of the most worrying aspects of this problem is the presence of microplastics, namely plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. The more accumulation of plastic waste found in the waters will cause damage to the surrounding water and sea environment, plastic waste that is not collected will be exposed to sunlight and exposure to air, the longer it will decompose into small particles called microplastics. In this research, the author researched using the library research method, namely by collecting and studying existing literature from various sources such as: journals, articles, books and others related to this research. Microplastics have spread widely in the environment, from oceans to land, and have had a serious impact on organisms and ecosystems throughout the world. The process by which microplastics are formed, their distribution in the environment, their impact on aquatic and terrestrial organisms, and their potential impact on human health are the main focus research and public attention. To overcome the microplastic problem, a holistic approach is needed that involves collaboration across sectors and scientific disciplines. Handling and mitigation efforts must cover various aspects, starting from regulating the use of single-use plastics, more effective management of plastic waste, developing technology for detecting and eliminating microplastics, to educating the public about the dangers of microplastics and the importance of environmentally friendly behavior. Concrete steps such as banning the use of single-use plastics, promoting recycling, innovation in product design, and cross-border cooperation in managing plastic waste are key in efforts to reduce the negative impact of microplastics. Only by taking these steps together can we create a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment for future generations.

This research is entitled Water Governance on Optimizing Clean Water Distribution to Meet Community Needs in Lembur Village, Komba City District, East Manggarai Regency. The purpose of this study is to find out the water governance process in Lembur Village. The method used in this study is a qualitative method. This study examines water governance on community needs using 3 important aspects, namely, the content layer, the institutional layer and the relationship layer. The results of the study show that the implementation of water governance in terms of the content layer is constrained in providing ineffective information, especially during the delivery of program work and policy making, officer training only occurs during National Programs such as PPIP and PAMSIMAS, while those managed by villages do not conduct training due to budget shortages, and policy strategies that are not optimal cause some people to not get clean water supply, but in the aspect of the institutional layer from the organizational side, there has been a division of roles and responsibilities, there is a strict structure and supervision, but there is a miscommunication between the overtime village government and clean water officers, even from the aspect of financing, budget realization that is not in line with the results in the field, then in the aspect of the relationship layer on the participation side,  The community is not involved in the completion of clean water work and deliberately dismantles the pipes that have been worked. Financial alkalization and decision-making are not transparent and communication between the government and the community is not effective.

Transparent soap is a variation of solid bar soap that not only functions to clean dirt but also has a scrubbing function. Transparent solid soap is one of the soap innovations that has become an attractive soap. Saffron also has antibacterial properties due to the presence of flavonoids, tannins and saponins. Flavonoids are compounds that can have anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antioxidant effects, because they can inhibit the formation of free radicals. It has been used traditionally to treat various ailments including depression, cardiovascular disease, menstrual disorders, asthma, insomnia, digestive ailments, bone pain and several other ailments. Saffron pistil juice is made by dissolving in CO₂-free distilled water. Phytochemical screening was carried out on saffron pistil extract. Saffron pistil juice is made in various soap formulas, namely formula I, formula II and formula III. The positive control used was chloramphenicol antibiotic and the negative control was DMSO. There were several tests carried out on Saffron pistil extract in addition to phytochemical screening, namely antibacterial testing on transparent soap with Saffron pistil extract as a soap additive. The results of phytochemical screening showed that the pistil of saffron (Crocus sativus L) contained secondary metabolites, namely: flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins. And for the results of the antibacterial activity research also showed that the Saffron pistil extract against transparent soap which can be used as a soap additive, the antibacterial results had a strong inhibition at the average value of formula III which was 20.5 and formula II was 18.4 mm and formula I 16.1 mm, against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

Chicken eggs are a food commodity with high interest and demand in society. Chicken eggs contain complete nutrients needed by the human body, but chicken eggs cannot be stored for long periods. Therefore, this research aims to find the best egg preservation method so that eggs can be stored without changing the important composition of the egg. The materials used are fresh chicken eggs, hot water, and limestone. The method used is preserving eggs with various media: (P0) eggs without preservation, (P1) preserving with limestone, and (P2) preserving eggs by dipping in hot water. Each egg was stored for 7 days at room temperature. The results showed that storing eggs for 7 days using various preservation methods did not significantly affect (P>0.05) of the values of shell thickness, specific gravity, egg cleanliness, and egg texture. This research suggests that storing raw eggs does not require preservation if the eggs are only stored for 7 days. It is best to store it for more than 7 days.  

Latrines are effective fecal disposal facilities to break the chain of disease transmission. The purpose of the study was to analyze the factors that influence the low ownership of healthy latrines in the Working Area of Puskesmas Balai Karangan, Sekayam. The research design used the Analytical Survey method with a sectional approach. The population in this study were all people in the Balai Karangan Health Center Working Area, namely 1,984 heads of families. The sample in this study was 95 heads of families with an accidental sampling technique with logistic regression. The results of logistic regression showed that there was an influence of knowledge p = 0.016, attitude p = 0.023, income p = 0.002, availability of clean water p = 0.005, support from health workers p = 0.006 and support from village officials p = 0.024. The dominant factor influencing the low ownership of healthy latrines is income p = 0.002 Exp(B) 337.529. This study concludes that there is an influence of knowledge, attitudes, income, availability of clean water, support from health workers, and support from village officials which does not affect culture. The dominant factor, namely income, influences the low ownership of healthy latrines in the Working Area of Puskesmas Balai Karangan. It is recommended that the Balai Karangan Community Health Center through the Village Head utilize PAMSIMAS by providing pipe assistance or construction of clean water facilities and healthy latrines.

PDAM tariffs and policies have a very important role in maintaining the availability of clean water and quality services for the community. Economically, the tariffs set by PDAM enable the provision of clean water in a sustainable manner with operational finance, infrastructure maintenance, and investment in developing the water distribution network. This research aims to reveal the impact of PDAM Tirtanadi's tariff adjustment policy on customer satisfaction. Adjusting air tariffs is an important step for PDAMs to finance infrastructure maintenance and operations, but this can also have an impact on customer satisfaction. The research method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Qualitative research makes it possible to describe phenomena in depth, including the impact of PDAM Tirtanadi's tariff policy on customer satisfaction. In the descriptive method, the main focus is on a detailed and in-depth description of the observed phenomenon, without carrying out statistical analysis. The data used in this research comes from writings contained in books, scientific journals, previous research and through interviews with customers and related parties of PDAM Tirtanadi Medan Denai Branch during college internships. The results of this research indicate that the tariff adjustment policy creates hopes and concerns among customers, who hope that service quality will increase in line with tariff increases. In addition, this research also identifies factors that influence customer perceptions of tariff policies, including the quality of services provided, transparency in the use of funds, and responsiveness to customer complaints. The implications of this research are the importance of considering customer needs and expectations in designing adequate tariff policies, as well as the importance of transparency and accountability in providing public services such as the provision of drinking water.    

Intestinal diseases caused by transmission from worms as a source of helminthiasis generally occur in areas with subtropical and tropical climate conditions which have a wet climate and lack of awareness among the public regarding maintaining health and sanitation of the surrounding environment. Around 60 percent of Indonesians experience worm infections. The largest age group is 5-14 years old. The prevalence figure is 60 percent, 21 percent of which attack elementary school age children. This disease can be spread by eggs in human waste found in soil and water, therefore awareness of clean and sanitary living is very influential, the process or pattern of feces disposal is also very influential in the spread of this worm. The high rate of soil contamination by Ascaris, which reaches >70%, can also be caused by feces that are thrown anywhere, such as in bushes or around houses close to where you live.  Preventing recurrent infections is very important by practicing clean and healthy living habits such as avoiding contact with soil that may be contaminated with human feces, washing hands with soap and water before handling food, protecting food from soil and washing or heating food that falls on the floor. Several researchers have shown that school age is a group that is often affected by worm infections because they are often in contact with soil. Apart from the government, the role of teachers and parents is very important in providing understanding or knowledge about worms so that they are more disciplined. The aim of community service is to provide knowledge and understanding to class IV/A students at SD N Pannara regarding the dangers of worms and how to prevent them and administer worm medicine.    

The dangers of plastic waste are common and disturb both the water, land and air. Ecobricks are a creative way to reduce plastic waste by putting clean plastic waste into plastic bottles and the results will be used for human benefit. Making ecobricks is not yet popular among the wider community. This service activity will provide benefits to various parties, including the community, community service participants and the government. The targets for this service activity are Maura El-Mumtaz Elementary School students in the Tanah Seribu sub-district, Binjai City. Based on the results of community service activities that have been carried out, it can be seen that students can make seats from ecobricks. It is hoped that students will be able to express many more ideas for making ecobricks, not only making them in the form of chairs but also in other shapes. So this can be used as a business opportunity for the community
