This study aims to analyze the sensory quality, Escherichia coli microbial contamination, and lead (Pb) content in frozen squid (Loligo sp) produced by Queen Seafood in Pasuruan. The method used is descriptive qualitative with laboratory testing of whole frozen squid samples. The testing includes sensory evaluation (ice layer, appearance, aroma, and texture), microbiological testing to detect the presence of E. coli using the APM method, and lead (Pb) contamination testing using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The results showed that all sensory quality parameters of frozen squid met the SNI 9192:2023 standard with an average score above the minimum limit. However, Escherichia coli contamination exceeded the maximum threshold set in the SNI, which is suspected to originate from unclean production water sources. The lead (Pb) content was recorded at 0.075 mg/kg, which is still within the safe limit according to the SNI (<1.0 mg/kg). These findings emphasize the importance of water quality monitoring in the production process and the need for additional washing and reprocessing instructions before consumption to ensure the food safety of frozen squid.

This study aims to evaluate the level of heavy metal pollution and the potential ecological and human health risks in the waters of Selangan, Bontang City. The research focuses on analyzing the concentrations of iron (Fe) and mercury (Hg) in sediment, considering that both elements are toxic, persistent, and capable of bioaccumulating within the food chain. The study was conducted over six months, from January to June 2023, at four sampling stations representing the environmental conditions of Selangan waters. The methodology included sediment sampling, sample preparation through drying and grinding, and laboratory analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) to determine Fe concentrations. The results were then compared with quality standards established by the Washington Annotated Code 173-204-320 and Indonesia’s National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) Regulation No. 5 of 2018. The findings indicate the presence of heavy metal contamination across all sampling stations. Fe concentrations ranged from 2.35 mg to 6.308 mg, significantly exceeding the permissible limit of 0.3 mg/L. Meanwhile, Hg concentrations ranged from 0.015 mg to 0.028 mg, also surpassing the standard threshold of 0.001 mg/L. These results clearly demonstrate heavy metal pollution in the Selangan waters, posing potential threats to marine ecosystem health and coastal communities. Regular monitoring and mitigation measures are urgently recommended to prevent further environmental degradation.

The role of teachers as companions and support for school facilities, such as the availability of clean water and cleaning tools, has been proven to have a great influence on the success of activities. Therefore, integrated, planned, and sustainable PHBS education in the school environment is considered effective in forming healthy living behaviors and preventing diseases from elementary school age.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a strategic effort to improve public health from an early age. Elementary schools are ideal environments to instill PHBS values because children are at a developmental stage where habits are easily shaped. However, observations show that many students still have poor hygiene habits, such as not washing hands properly, consuming unsafe snacks, and neglecting school cleanliness.This PHBS education activity through the School Health Program (UKS) aims to improve students’ knowledge, attitudes, and healthy living practices. The implementation methods include interactive health education, handwashing demonstrations, environmental cleanliness simulations, and classroom cleanliness competitions. The evaluation results show a significant increase in students’ PHBS knowledge from 56% to 92%, accompanied by positive behavioral changes such as regular handwashing and proper waste disposal. This program demonstrates that an educational approach through UKS is effective in fostering clean and healthy living habits among elementary school students. It is expected that similar programs will continue sustainably with the involvement of teachers, health workers, and parents to create a healthy and supportive school environment for children’s growth and development.

Handwashing with Soap (CTPS) is the activity of cleaning hands using clean, running water and soap to remove dirt, oil, and various germs such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites that may cling to the skin. As one of the most effective, simplest, and most affordable methods of preventing infectious diseases, CTPS is highly important to practice consistently, especially among students at Public Elementary School 283 located in Waitomu Hamlet, Leihitu District, Central Maluku Regency. However, observations indicate that after school activities or playtime, several students still show reluctance to wash their hands, which may be influenced by low awareness, limited understanding of hygiene, insufficient supervision, or the absence of strong daily habits related to cleanliness. This issue reflects the need for more structured hygiene education, continuous reminders, and interactive learning methods to instill good handwashing habits. In addition, improving supporting facilities—such as accessible handwashing stations, adequate soap supply, and visual posters—can motivate students to practice CTPS more regularly. Strengthening CTPS awareness and habits is expected to reduce the risk of disease transmission, foster a healthier school environment, and encourage students to adopt lifelong hygiene practices that benefit both their personal well-being and the wider community.

The application of food hygiene and sanitation principles is an important aspect in ensuring the quality of nutritional services in hospitals. Low compliance of kitchen staff in maintaining hygiene is often caused by a lack of supervision, motivation, and limited supporting facilities. This study aims to determine the effect of education on compliance with the application of food hygiene and sanitation and its contributing factors in the Nutrition Installation of Hospital X through an internship activity conducted in July–October 2025. The research method used a quasi-experimental model with a one-group pretest-posttest and a mixed methods approach. The research subjects were seven kitchen staff, with two of them being interviewed in depth via voice recording. Data collection was carried out through initial observations, compliance checklists, and recorded interviews at the pretest and posttest stages. Educational interventions were carried out through counseling, routine briefings, and mentoring in the six-step handwashing practice according to WHO guidelines. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive quantitative and thematic qualitative methods. The results showed an increase in staff compliance after being given education, seen from changes in behavior in washing hands properly, using personal protective equipment, and maintaining cleanliness of the work area. Based on pretest interview results, low compliance was caused by a lack of supervision due to the lack of accreditation, infrequent monitoring, the misperception that visibly clean hands were safe enough, and limited water supply due to the shared drain with the hospital laundry. Following the educational intervention, posttest results showed improved compliance compared to baseline.
