Environmental hygiene
Health is a never-ending issue, starting from personal health, family health and community health.
What was initially a personal problem has now become a social problem. Individual lack of awareness
is a major factor causing problems that threaten the health of many people. For example, in Indonesia,
the most classic problem is the awareness of properly disposing of trash. However, we see that in
different corners of the city there are always piles of trash and rivers full of trash. The consequence of
throwing trash in the right place is that it creates an unpleasant odor, affects respiratory health, attracts
many insects and bacteria, and will certainly affect our health. Garbage also obstructs the flow of
rivers, leading to floods accompanied by garbage. Flooding piles of garbage is very polluting.

Always associated with a lack of self-awareness, this health problem has its roots in a lack of concern
for the environment. Just look at today’s modern era, especially in big cities, with high-rise buildings
covering river basins. Don’t be surprised if flooding easily occurs every time it rains. Factory
construction began to become popular; From now on, factory construction takes place in villages, not
just in cities. The construction of the factory has many health impacts, for example, dumping wet
waste into the river will lead to the destruction of the river ecosystem, leading to a foul smell that
affects the health of local people. Not to mention factories also pollute the air due to exhaust fumes
from the production process. If the factory continues to treat waste carelessly, it will seriously damage
the health of the local community and even harm the survival of life on this earth.

We can make various efforts to maintain personal health for the health of the community and improve
the quality of this damaged environment. Essentially, there are two perceptions that play an important
role in improving the quality of health in today’s society. Specifically, self-awareness and government
awareness.
