Faktor Risiko Pencemaran Mikrobiologi pada Air Minum Isi Ulang di Kabupaten Tegal
Abstract: Water is a real
absolute necessity for humans as well as fresh air and healthy food. Result of
inspection of drinking water refilling quality in Tegal Regency at 2011 showed
the existence of microbiology contamination, from 138 drinking water refilling
samples, in which 67 samples (48,6%) did not meet the standard for MPN Coliform
and E.coli.The purpose this research was to know microbiological contamination
risk factor of drinking water refilling in Tegal Regency.
Methods: Design applied was cross-sectional. Independent variable in this
research was standard water quality, quality of filtration, quality of
desinfection and the dependent variable was water quality drinks product from
drinking water refilling station. Population at this research was drinking
water refilling station in Tegal Regency which amounts to 197. Sampling in
random sampling that sample was taken in random. Test Chi-Square applied to
test the relation of microbiology contamination risk factor of drinking water
refilling with microbiology quality of product water from drinking water
refilling station.
Results: The result of inspection of standard water quality, 36 samples (
55,4%) MPN ineligibility Coliform and 12 samples ( 18,5%) ineligibility Ecoli.
Result of inspection of water quality drinks product DAMIU, 32 samples ( 49,2%)
MPN ineligibility Coliform and 10 samples ( 15,4%) ineligibility Ecoli. Result
of observation quality of filtration, 31 samples ( 47,7%) with quality of
filtration is not good. Result of observation quality of desinfeksi, 28 samples
( 43,1%) with quality of desinfeksi is not good.The results of the research
showed there was significant association between quality of water microbiology
standard (p-value=0,0001), quality of filtration (p-value=0,0001), quality of
desinfection (p-value=0,0001) with quality of product water microbiology in
drinking water refilling station Tegal Regency at 2012. Product drinking water
from drinking water refilling station using ineligible standard water of MPN
coliform had risk 5,6 times compared to using standard water. Product drinking
water from drinking water refilling station with quality of filtration that was
not good had up risk 34 times compared to if the quality of filtration was good
Product drinking water from drinking water refilling station with quality of
desinfection which was not good had risk 9,2 times compared to if the good
quality of desinfection.
Recomendation: The owners of the drinking water refilling station was
obliged to guarantee water quality to drink produced by it is safe for health.
Public expected to be more attentively in consuming water product from drinking
water refilling station. Health Department needs more increases construction
and observation to drinking water refilling station.
