Saponification between alkaline salt and virgin coconut oil (VCO) will produce liquid soap. This is because the use of virgin coconut oil (VCO) in saponification is known to be very good because of the presence of lauric acid which has clean power and functions as an antimicrobial. The addition of miana leaf extract (Coleus atropurpureus) in the manufacture of liquid soap because it contains flavonoids, tannins, saponins, essential oils which also function as moisturizers and antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the best combination of pure coconut oil (VCO) liquid soap with variations in the concentration of miana leaf extract (Coleus atropurpureus) in reducing free radicals in the form of bacteria. In this study, a laboratory experimental method was used with the addition of miana leaf extract. A= 0% (w/w), B= 10% (w/w), C= 15% (w/w),) in 100 mL total virgin coconut oil (VCO) three times. The test parameters were in the form of a bacteriological test using the Total Plate Number (ALT) method. From the results of the study, it was found that the formulation of pure coconut oil (VCO) liquid soap with various concentrations of miana leaf extract (Coleus atropurpureus) could reduce free radicals such as bacteria.

The chemical compound of CO gas is a gas that has no color and contributes greatly to environmental pollution as a result of incomplete combustion of fuel produced from motor vehicles. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous (toxic, so it is often referred to as the "silent killer". The presence of CO gas will be very dangerous if inhaled by humans because the gas will replace the position of oxygen that binds to hemoglobin in the blood. The purpose of the study was to identify the presence or absence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the blood of fruit sellers at the Sungguminasa Twin Bridge. This research is an analytical observational field research using the alkaline dilution test method. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with the criteria of working more than one year, working 8 hours a day and not smoking. The number of samples used as many as 9 samples of venous blood. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the presence of carbon monoxide gas was not identified in all blood samples of fruit sellers at the Sungguminasa Twin Bridge. This is because in the alkaline dilution test method, CO gas can only be identified with saturation levels above 20%.

A complicated problem for big city governments today is the increasing volume of solid waste, due to population growth and mobility so that the waste load will also increase, especially in metropolitan cities such as Makassar City. To reduce the rate of organic waste generation, which is 60%, is to use organic waste as compost, both liquid and solid. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of composting with EM4 and MOL activators. The results of the study with the addition of EM4 activator, MOL activator and without the addition of activator from the first day to the fourteenth day the compost structure was different. The addition of MOL produces a slightly coarser structure compared to the addition of EM4, while the compost without activator still smells like wet waste. The quality (C/N) of compost, the addition of 100 ml of EM4 was in the optimum level, while the addition of 100 ml of MOL was less than optimum.

Gout disease or commonly known as gout arthritis is a disease caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in the body. Monitoring blood uric acid levels is currently still using invasive techniques by taking blood samples to be included in the test strip, this invasive technique measurement requires money and time to come to health clinics so that many people cannot monitor blood uric acid levels on a regular basis. This study aims to develop a measuring instrument for monitoring blood uric acid levels using sensors by utilizing the absorption and reflectance of infrared rays so that gout sufferers and other individuals can monitor blood uric acid levels regularly and are easy to use. The method of developing non-invasive techniques focuses on monitoring blood uric acid levels using a NIR sensor with an IR LED with a wavelength of 940 nm as a transmitter and a photodiode as a detector at a wavelength of 700-1300 nm and a microcontroller as a minimum system for control. The first stage is measuring uric acid levels with invasive techniques on participants and at the same time measuring voltages with sensors, the results with invasive techniques are correlated with sensor output voltages to obtain non-linear equations in polynomial form, for conversion programs on the microcontroller. The second stage is measuring uric acid levels with invasive techniques and invasive measurements on participants at the same time. Both monitoring results were analyzed by simple ANOVA statistics and calculated SEP and RMSE to determine the accuracy of the prediction equation and its accuracy value.

Vegetables and fruits are foodstuffs whose cultivation process requires pesticides. In addition to farmers who apply pesticides, pesticide poisoning can also be experienced by people who consume agricultural products including vegetables through the pesticide residues contained in them, so that it will have a negative impact on human health who consume them continuously. The purpose of the study was to determine the presence of pesticide residues in foodstuffs. This research is a laboratory observation with a simple random sampling technique. In this study, a qualitative analysis of organophosphate and carbamate pesticide residues in food ingredients was carried out using the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method. Based on the results of the study, from 15 (fifteen) samples of vegetables, no organophosphate chlorpyrifos pesticide content was detected, but the carbamate group was detected in samples of spinach, cabbage, and carrots marked with spots and the Rf value was the same as the Furadan standard. Thus, it is hoped that the community will wash the vegetables before they are processed and consumed.

Gallons of refilled drinking water usually don't run out in a single use but run out in a few days or even up to 1 to 2 weeks, depending on usage, and stored at room temperature (27-29 °C). Drinking water that is stored for a long time will allow the growth of microorganisms which are influenced by environmental factors, namely temperature conditions and oxygen supply during storage. This affects the pH and total organic content of drinking water. Inspection of the quality of water products according to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010, which is a maximum organic matter content of 10 mg/L. According to chemical parameters, drinking water must not contain inorganic and organic substances exceeding the standard with a pH value between 6.5-8.5. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of organic substances in RO (Reverse Osmosis) refill drinking water. This type of research is a laboratory experiment using purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the average organic content of refilled drinking water with a storage period of 0 days was 1.839 mg/L, 3 days was 2.57 mg/L, and 6 days was 5.28 mg/L. Thus, the levels of organic substances in drinking water are based on storage time of 0, 3, and 6 days using the spectrophotometric method according to the maximum drinking water quality standard.
