Lingkungan Sehat: Rumah dan Sekolah

This book is about how to keep our environment from home to school clean and healthy. In this book, there are 2 Chapters that contain Healthy Homes and Sanitation. This book is the right book to guide us in regulating sanitation and hygiene in homes and schools, as well as understanding how hygienic behavior to create a clean and beautiful environment. For a more complete explanation, let's look at it below!

 

Healthy Home

Understanding

A healthy home is a house that is free from environmental pollution in the elements of water, air, soil, and microbes, and is free from disease factors, as well as the fulfillment of clean and healthy water and air needs.

Healthy Home Criteria

·         Have good air ventilation at least 10% of the total floor area so that the room is not stuffy or damp so that it can interfere with the health of residents.

·         Have appropriate air quality provisions.

·         It has good lighting so it will not cause dampness in the house.

·         It has a floor with minimal water absorption (which uses watertight material and is easy to clean).

·         Have clean water and environmental sanitation that meets health requirements in accordance with applicable regulations.

·         It has wastewater disposal and septic tanks that do not pollute the soil and groundwater and are odorless.

·         Free from fungi and animals that transmit diseases, and so on.

 

Sanitation

Understanding

Sanitation is an effort to control all factors of the human physical environment that may cause or can cause adverse things for physical development, health, and endurance of human life.

Types of Sanitation

·         Water Sanitation

·         Waste Management Sanitation

·         Food Sanitation

Sanitary Benefits

·         Minimize the occurrence of accidents.

·         Reducing unpleasant odors that have an impact on air pollution.

·         Prevent infectious diseases from spreading.

·         Avoiding environmental pollution.

·         Reducing the percentage of sick people in a contaminated area.

·         Making environmental conditions clean, healthy, and comfortable for humans.

Sanitary Function

·         Reducing the spread of intestinal worm infection which is one of the diseases that plagues many people in the tropics.

·         Reducing the severity and impact of malnutrition.

·         Improving the level of public health.

·         Increase the number of children attending school because they are free from infectious diseases.

·         Ensuring the availability of clean water.

 

Home Environment Sanitation

Based on the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 829 / Menkes / SK / VII / 1999 concerning Housing Health requirements, the assessment of healthy home sanitation facilities includes several main components, including clean water facilities, sewage facilities, and garbage disposal facilities.

One of the important components that must be present in every home is the drains from the sink and bathroom. Waste from dishwashing, clothes, baths should flow out of the house. Therefore, the cleanliness of the waterways should be maintained by:

·         Do not throw garbage into waterways.

·         Installing bars above the drain.

·         Separating chemical waste from waterways.

·         Cleaning waterways regularly.

·         Drains rainwater into the biopore area.

While here is how to manage household waste:

·         Separating organic and inorganic waste.

·         Processing organic waste into fertilizer.

·         Applying the 3R principle.

·         Reduce waste within your means.

·         Reduce waste by reusing it.

·         Using waste with recycling, and so on.

 

School Environment Sanitation

The school environment affects the teaching and learning process, as well as the health of school residents. Poor school environment conditions can cause health problems. The benefits of sanitation in schools are obtained from the implementation of school sanitation with improved health, education, and human rights of children.

Proper school sanitation will also promote gender equality, as girls are particularly vulnerable to not continuing school (dropping out). They will be reluctant to go to school when there is no latrines and clean water facilities that are decent, clean, comfortable, and safe.

The existence of school sanitation will also give birth to agents of change in clean and healthy living in their environment. Implementing school sanitation is the first step in realizing a healthy learning environment, which will trigger an improvement in the health of students and the quality of education.

 

Well, that's the brief friends from the contents of the book Lingkungan Sehat: Rumah dan Sekolah. How? Isn't it good that the content of the book is good? I highly recommend this book for you especially those who are now studying/studying majors around building construction. This book really helps us to know ways to keep our surroundings clean and healthy.

That's all my blog this time, happy meeting on the next blog, guys.

See you, Fellas!!
