HUBUNGAN KEJADIAN ISPA PADA BALITA DENGAN PEMUKIMAN DI SEKITAR TRANSPORTASI TONGKANG BATUBARA DI SUNGAI BARITO KECAMATAN TABUNGANEN TAHUN 2011
ABSTRACT: Acute Respiratory
Infection (ARI) is a respiratory infection that can last up to 14 days. Barito
River is one of the rivers that flow into the coal barge transportation. Based
on field data, any impact caused by the transportation of coal barges is a
decrease in air quality due to increase in coal dust blown into the densely
populated settlement that could lead to respiratory diseases. This study aims
to analyze the relationship between the incidence of respiratory infection in
infants with settlements that are near (≤ 500 m) and deep (> 500 m) from the
coal barge transportation flow. This study was an observational analytic study
design correlation. The results of this study indicate that Ho is accepted
which means there is no relationship between the incidence of respiratory
infection in infants with settlements close range (≤ 500 m) with a flow of
barge transportation of coal in the Barito River. And there was no correlation
between the incidence of respiratory infection in infants with residential
distance away (> 500 m) from the coal barge transportation flow in the
Barito River. Based on these results it is necessary to further study the most
relevant factors that cause respiratory events in children under five in sub
Tabunganen enough.
