Abstract
Background: Chromium, a heavy metals commonly used as an anti-corrosive agent. Clinical and laboratory evidence showed that inhaled chromium was very toxic. Talang sub-district, Tegal district has several groups of metal coating workers. As an informal sector, they were poor of legislation and health services and also poor of hygiene sanitation, poor of workplace arrangement. They were not use personal protective equipment also. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the work posture and work stations on chromium metal coating workers. Methods: This research used a cross sectional design. Data collected using interview method, work station and work posture observation. A number of 35 worker at Talang metal coating industry participated in this research. Results: Most of the workers were in poor work stations, for example: insufficient location and size of ventilation, lack of lighting, slippery and moist floor. Most workers were not use personal protective equipment and had awkward work postures. Conclusion: The workers do their work in non-ergonomic work postures. The work station was not supportive for making ergonomic work posture. This study recommends to repair work station by adjusting ventilation size and the ventilation location should not be in front of the workers directly. If this was not possible, then workers who must adjust their work position away from ventilation. Entrepreneurs can provide local exhaust that was useful for sucking metal vapors so that the levels of metal vapors can be reduced to a minimum level.

Abstract
Introduction: Back pain is common health problems among general populations including students. Students are exposed to physically and emotionally high demanding daily activities, therefore, higher the risk to develop back musculoskeletal disorders. Objective: To estimate the 12-month prevalence of self-reported musculoskeletal symptoms in the back area and the associated risk factors. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire survey was carried out on 390 students. The Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (SNMQ) was used to identify the annual prevalence of WRMSDs. Perceived emotional distress was assessed using the short version of Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS21). In addition, socio-demographic and educational profiles of the participants were also included. Factors associated with back MSDs were identified using chi square analyses and further by logistic regression. Results: A total of 348 students (89.23%) completing the survey. 63.79% of the students self-reported having symptoms of MSD at any part of back for the past 12 months. Of these, lower back (83.56%) were the most frequently reported as compared to the upper back (81.98%). The multivariate analyses showed anxious or stressful students had significantly elevated risk of back pain Conclusion: The findings indicated that MSDs is relatively high among students. However, students in good term of emotional health had reduced the risk of back MSD. Thus, it is recommended that emotional wellbeing program shall be introduced to the student in future.

Abstract
Objectives: The development of broiler farm sector contributed to the air pollution in the form of odor due to the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). Purpose: This study aims to analyze the level of risk of H2S exposure in the community near broiler farms PT.Ciomas Padang. Methods: The study used Environmental Health Risk Assesment (EHRA) method. Population consists of 160 people and 66 sample respondents with accidental sampling technique. Four point air samples taken on the settlement around broiler farms PT. Ciomas used gas sampler impinger. Results: Four point air samples were lower than odor threshold (0.02 ppm or 0,027 mg/m3) , H2S concentration was 0,015 mg/m3, 0,018 mg/m3, 0,022 mg/m3 and 0,023 mg/m3. The calculation of the largest realtime intake and lifetime intake found at location C. The average realtime intake value was 0,00135 mg/kg/day and intake lifetime was 0,00406 mg/kg/day. RQ value of realtime and lifetime, obtained all point of measurement has RQ>1 which means that H2S exposure is unsafe and risk management is necessary. Conclusion: The required risk management by limiting safe concentration and limiting the duration of exposure. Other efforts that can be done is by adding lime and prebiotic on chicken manure to reduce the release of H2S gas and cleaning the dirt under the cage once a week.

Abstract
Background: Bangladesh has been declared as the sixth worst affected country to climate change. This paper aims to identify life after migration of the respondents receding in a slum of Dhaka city, to identify the perception of migrants regarding climate change, to identify the perception of migrants regarding health and disease, to find out the health care seeking behavior of the migrants vulnerable to climate change. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional survey of climate vulnerable migrants who are receding a slum of Dhaka city. A total of 250 climate vulnerable migrants consist of 150 male and 150 female respondents were selected randomly and interviewed through a structured questionnaire. Univariate and Bivariate types of analysis have been applied. Results: The study indicates that after being victim of climate change respondents migrated to Dhaka city for a better livelihood but their socio economic condition collapsed in Dhaka city. Only 25.6% having permanent residence in current place, 90% lost their business and turned into rickshaw puller.Sin disease, Asthma and Respiratory Allergy were the three disease they suffered most, Climate induced diseases and after migration disease continuation rate is higher among male migrants compared to female. 50.3% female respondents perceived the idea of weather change. Though female perceived a better understanding about the changing weather pattern but their health care seeking behavior after migration deteriorated almost 53.3% don-t seek any health care, their attitudes as well as existing barriers of the new settlement basically keep them aloof from seeking the health care services. Conclusion: Increasing recurrence of climatic events, socio-economic losses, severity of environmental degradation and frequency of climate induced diseases push people in such a vulnerable situation that compel them to choose migration as an adaptive mechanism of climate change. Most of people these climate vulnerable migrants find their accommodation in the slums of Dhaka city that left them in a miserable condition where the terror goes but the agony persists. Thus the study highlighted that overall health care seeking behavior of the climate vulnerable migrants deteriorated after migration which requires proper attention in order to alleviate their sufferings in the slum area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Nitrate pollution of groundwater is a problem especially in agricultural areas. Users who rely solely on groundwater sources are exposed to nitrate that seep from adjacent agricultural areas or septic tanks that are built very close to the water source. In Malaysia, the maximum allowable concentration of nitrate in water used for drinking is 45 mg/L (in NO3-). A study on nitrate in groundwater and its associated health risk was conducted in Bukit Bator village in Bachok district, Kelantan, Malaysia. METHODOLOGY: This study was implemented in the month of January 2019. A total of forty-two (42) respondents took part in the study with the same number of wells sampled for nitrate. Respondents were chosen based on the criteria that they only used groundwater for drinking and cooking and they do not have any type of filtration systems installed in their homes. Nitrate concentration was determined using a HANNA Instrument brand multimeter with an attached nitrate electrode. Samples were collected in duplicates and the readings were then averaged. Other data such as weight of respondents, age and depth of wells, as well as distance of well from source of nitrate were also recorded. RESULTS: Nitrate in sampled groundwater ranged from 0.61 to 25.10 mg/L NO3- with a mean of 3.61 + sd 1.88 mg/L. One-sample T Test analysis showed that there is a significant difference in nitrate concentration between sampling sites (p<0.05). In contrast, there are no significant relationships between nitrate concentration with age and depth of well, as well as distance to nitrate source (p>0.05). All respondents were calculated to have a Hazard Index (HI) of less than 1 (HI<1), meaning it is less likely for nitrate to cause adverse health effects on the users. CONCLUSION: Nitrate levels in groundwater is low and is not detrimental to health. Nevertheless, periodic assessment is encouraged to ensure the levels stay low at all times.
