Daftar Isi:
- A survey for determining the health impact of chlorine gas to the community was carried out in Karet Kuningan, South Jakarta from March till September 1991. Health impact of chlorine gas are respiratory, eye and skin disease. Interviews were conducted by propulsive sampling method. The result showed that 43.3% of the respondents living in the study area can smell the chlorine gas pollution but in the control area they could not. In the study area 73.3% and in the control area 90% knew about healthy environment. It is estimated that there was a relationship between chlorine gas pollution with Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI). The report from the same Health Center (H.C) showed that ARI cases were the highest among other diseases in this research area. Through the study it was found that there were 12 cases (8.1%) of ARI consisting of 3 cases of cough, 3 children, 4 adults and 2 elderlies with breathing problems. It was not proven that there was any relation between the chlorine gas pollution and ARI, eye and skin diseases, but since chlorine gas was detected in this area there is an indication that chlorine gas pollution has already occured. It is suggested that the monitoring of chlorine gas should be carried out not only in the study area, but also in similar areas where there are concentrations of industries with chlorine gas emission.
