Analysis of Environmental Health Risks Resulting from Exposure to Pollution Materials

Abstract

Analysis of Environmental Health Risks is an approach to calculate or predict the risks to human health, including factors identify of uncertainty, tracking on specific exposures, consider the inherent characteristics to the concern agent and characteristics of the specific target. The research was descriptive study by risk agent which were SO2, H2S, NO2, PM2.5 and PM10. The research was conducted in five zones Purwodadi sugar factory area at Magetan. Variables in the study were the identification of hazards, exposure analysis, the level of risk (RQ), and environmental health risk management. Data analysis technique used was descriptive. The results of research showed that the highest levels of risk agent SO2 levels was 0.33 mg/ m3, the highest levels of NH 3 is 2.20 mg/ m3, highest levels of NO2 is 0.39 mg/ m3, highest levels of PM2.5 is 2.17 mg/m3 and PM 10 at 1.76 mg/ m3. The distance value of the level of risk (RQ) for SO2, NH3 and NO2 was at ± 500 m from the source of the pollutants and showed above 1 mg/m3, it means the gas of NH3, PM2.5 and PM10 are highly risk to the health.
