Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The development of broiler farm sector contributed to the air pollution in the form of odour due to the formation of hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S). This study aims to analyse the level of risk of H2S exposure in the community near broiler farms PT. Ciomas Padang. METHODS: The study used Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) method. Population consists of 160 people and 66 sample respondents with accidental sampling technique. Four-point air samples taken on the settlement around broiler farms PT. Ciomas used gas sampler impinger. RESULTS: Four-point air samples were lower than odor threshold (0.0ppm or 0.027mg/m3), H2S concentration was 0.015mg/m3, 0.018 mg/m3, 0,022 mg/m3 and 0.023mg/m3. The calculation of the largest real-time intake and lifetime intake found at location C. The average real-time intake value was 0,00135 mg/kg/day and intake lifetime were 0.00406mg/kg/day. RQ value of real-time and lifetime, obtained all point of measurement has RQ>1 which means that H2S exposure is unsafe and risk management is necessary. CONCLUSION: The required risk management by limiting safe concentration and limiting the duration of exposure. Other efforts that can be done is by adding lime and prebiotic on chicken manure to reduce the release of H2S gas and cleaning the dirt under the cage once a week.
