Seorang perokok aktif membunuh 200 ribu orang perokok pasif dalam satu tahun. Sungguh angka fantastik yang sangat mengerikan. Tapi inilah kesimpulan yang dikeluarkan Organisasi Kesehatan Nasional dalam memperingati Hari Tanpa Rokok, tanggal 31 Mei 2007 ini.
Laporan WHO tahun ini menjelaskan bagaimana fokus penelitian adalah dampak membahayakan asap rokok yang dihisap oleh orang yang tidak merokok dalam ruangan tertutup. Laporan ini diiringi juga dengan angka dan lokasi, beserta berbagai informasi yang membantah klaim penolakan para perokok bila mereka dianggap mengganggu hak hidup orang lain. Juga dengan menjelaskan bagaimana kondisi perokok di berbagai negara berbeda serta penjelasan ancaman kesehatan yang parah bagi perokok pasif di tempat tertutup.
Perokok pasif adalah orang-orang yang tidak merokok, namun menjadi korban perokok karena turut mengisap asap sampingan (di samping asap utama yang dihembuskan balik oleh perokok). Perokok pasif memiliki resiko yang cukup tinggi atas kanker paru-paru dan jantung koroner, serta gangguan pernafasan. Bagi anak-anak di bawah umur, terdapat resiko kematian mendadak akibat terpapar asap rokok.
Setidaknya tercatat 4000 kematian perokok pasif per tahun di US WHO menghimbau agar dikeluarkan undang undang larangan merokok di tempat tertutup dan di tempat umum. Lokasi tertutup dan tempat umum diharapkan 100% bersih sama sekali dari asap rokok. Larangan seperti ini, juga dianjurkan agar disertai dengan tahap penyadaran masyarakat khusus agar para perokok pasif mengerti bagaimana dampak kesehatan yang bakal mereka terima akibat berada di satu ruangan dengan perokok aktif. Terlebih bila perokok itu adalah penghuni rumah sendiri.
Di antara kenyataan menyedihkan yang disodorkan laporan tersebut adalah, separuh anak-anak duia, atau sekitar 700 juta anak mengalami gangguan kesehatan lantaran menjadi perokok pasif. Kebanyakan, penderitaan mereka disebabkan dari dalam rumah mereka sendiri karena jelas yang paling bertanggung jawab dan paling dekat dengan mereka adalah orang tua mereka sendiri di dalam rumah.
Derita anak-anak dan para perokok pasif adalah karena mereka menghisap 4000 bahan kimiawi yang ada dalam asap rokok. Di antaranya adalah 50 materi kimiawi yang sudah terkenal bisa menyebabkan kanker. Ditambah lagi, asap rokok yang dihisap perokok pasif bisa menyebabkan penjakit paru-paru, jantung dan sejumlah penyakit pernafasan yang bahkan bisa membawa kematian. (na-str/iol)

HOLIDAY
The following advised can help make your holiday a safe one.
General:
· Keep matches, lighters, and candles out of the reach of children.
· Avoid smoking near flammable decorations.
· Make an emergency plan to use if a fire breaks out anywhere in the home. See that each family member knows what to do. PRACTICE THE PLAN!
· Avoid wearing loose flowing clothes - particularly long, open sleeves - near open flames - such as those of a fireplace, stove, or candlelit table.
· Never burn candles near evergreens or leave burning candles unattended.
· Route electrical cords properly to avoid tripping hazards.
· Plan for safety. Look for and eliminate potential danger spots near candles, fire-places, trees, and/or electrical connections. Make sure your fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are in good working order.
Trees:
· When purchasing an artificial tree, look for the label "Fire Resistant." Although this label does not mean the tree won't catch fire, it does indicate the tree will resist burning and should extinguish quickly.
· nbsp; When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, needles are hard to pull from branches and when bent between your fingers, needles do not break. The trunk butt of a fresh tree is sticky with resin, and when tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles.
· When setting up a tree at home, place it away from fireplaces and radiators. Cut off about two inches of the trunk to expose fresh wood for better water absorption and keep stand filled with water. Place the tree out of the way of traffic and do not block doorways.
· Use thin guy-wires to secure a large tree to walls or ceiling. These wires are almost invisible.
Lights:
· Indoors or outside, use only lights that have been tested for safety by a recognized testing laboratory (i.e. UL), which indicates conformance with safety standards.
· Check each set of lights, new or old, for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections, and throw out damaged sets.
· Use no more than three standard-size sets of lights per single extension cord and be sure that the total load does not exceed rated capacities (standard household circuits are 15 amps).
· Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights, and a person touching a branch could be electrocuted.
· Keep "bubbling" lights away from children. These lights with their bright colors and bubbling movement can tempt curious children to break the candle-shaped glass, which can cut, and possibly drink the liquid, which contains a hazardous chemical.
· Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been certified for outdoor use.
· Fasten outdoor lights securely to trees, house walls, or other firm supports to protect the lights from wind damage. Use only insulated staples/clips to hold strings in place, not nails or tacks. Or, run strings of lights through hooks (available at hardware stores).
· Turn off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house. The lights could short out and start a fire.
· For added electric shock protection, plug outdoor electric lights and decorations into circuits protected by ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). Portable outdoor GFCIs can be purchased where electrical supplies are sold. GFCIs if not already present, can be installed permanently to household circuits by a qualified electrician.
Decorations:
· Remember to inspect and use the proper ladder for the job. Extension ladders should extend 3 feet above the roofline and be pitched at about 4:1. Do not climb on to the very top of stepladders.
· Use only non-combustible or flame-resistant materials to trim a tree. Choose tinsel or artificial icicles of plastic or nonleaded metals. Leaded materials are hazardous if ingested (especially by children).
· Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. Always use non-flammable holders, and place candles where they will not be knocked down.
· In homes with small children, take special care to avoid decorations that are sharp or breakable, keep trimmings with small removable parts out of the reach of children to avoid the child swallowing or inhaling small pieces, and avoid trimmings that resemble candy or food that may tempt a child to eat them.
· Wear gloves to avoid eye and skin irritation while decorating with spun glass "angel hair." Follow container directions carefully to avoid lung irritation while decorating with artificial snow sprays.
Fireplaces:
· Use care with "fire sats," which produce colored flames when thrown on wood fires. They contain heavy metals that can cause intense gastrointestinal irritation and vomiting if eaten. Keep them away from children.
· Do not burn evergreens or wrapping papers in the fireplace. Dry evergreens and wrapping papers can flare out of control, and send sparks fly into a room, or up the chimney to ignite creosote deposits.
· Keep a screen in front of the fireplace all the time a fire is burning.
Burning evergreens in the fireplace can also be hazardous. When dry, greens burn like tinder.
Shopping:
· Do not put packages into your vehicle (trunk or back seat) and then return to a store/mall. Criminals often watch for this opportunity. If you must, at least drive to another parking area before returning. Preferably, put your excess bags in a locker, use a cart, or ask stores to hold packages until you are ready to leave.
· Keep packages hidden in the trunk when you go from one store to the next. Lock your doors, even if leaving for only a moment.
· Do not throw away credit cad receipts. They can be stolen and your number lifted. Do not ever leave your purse or wallet unattended �“ even when trying on clothes.
· Do not have your arms completely filled when going to your car, keep one hand free �“ especially if it’s dark and few people are around. Pull your vehicle up to the entrance to load your bags if you have too much to carry

Bahaya Mengintai di Keseharian
Banyak pengendara kurang sadar akan kesehatan jangka panjang. Padahal sering terjadi, penyakit timbul akibat kelalaian di tempat kerja. Di lingkungan, bahaya penyakit kronis seperti paru-paru selalu membayangi.
Pekerjaan apa saja yang bisa berakibat fatal jika lalai pakai pengaman atau masker. Menurut dr. Abraham, semua bahan kimia berakibat buruk dalam tubuh manusia. "Tapi tergantung daya tahan atau imunitas tubuh. Kalau orangnya kuat, penyakit yang timbul dalam jangka waktu lama. Tapi kalau daya tahannya rendah, bisa timbul lebih cepat," ujar dokter praktik di Jl. Hang Lekir, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan. Tining,
BERMAIN DENGAN CAT
Keseharian bermain dengan cat adalah paling rentan dengan penyakit paru. Apalagi kalau selama bekerja tanpa memakai masker dan pelindung tangan.
Cat merupakan bahan mudah menguap. Untuk pengecatan motor, cat semprot akan mengubah menjadi bentuk aerosol yang mudah terisap. Sehingga lebih mudah masuk ke dalam tubuh manusia. Bisa melalui pernapasan, kontak kulit maupun oral. Kandungan bahan kimianya dapat menyebabkan kanker terutama kanker paru.
Bahan kimia lain dalam cat semprot, adalah hidrokarbon (HC). Bahan ini mudah menguap dan dapat menimbulkan sensasi euforia dan halusinasi. "Penyerapan yang tinggi mempengaruhi kesehatan paru bahkan dapat menyebabkan kematian," tambah dr. Muktar Iksan, Sp. P.MARS, dari program kajian kesehatan kerja RS Persahabatan, Jakarta.
Cat semprot lebih berbahaya daripada cat kuas. Selain itu cat dapat mempengaruhi beberapa organ lain seperti susunan saraf pusat, hati, ginjal, kulit, mata, organ reproduksi, jantung dan paru.
Faktor manusia juga mempengaruhi. Seperti kebiasaan merokok, kecepatan aliran udara, pernafasan, dan ukuran paru. Kejadian kanker paru akan meningkat setelah 20 tahun tahun lebih, tergantung ketahanan manusianya.
PEKERJA SPBU

Hampir setiap hari petuga yang bekerja SPBU menyerap uap yang keluar dari bahan bakar yang dituang. Untuk satu pekerja, dalam sehari sekitar 6 jam. Dalam seminggu seumpama kerja 6 hari, maka 12 jam. Sebulan 360 jam, setahun 4.320 jam. Rata-rata orang kerja 20 tahun. Bayangkan berapa banyak zat yang terkandung dalam BBM terhirup.
Kandungan ada dalam bahan bakar seperti sulfur, zat warna berbahaya jika terserap ke dalam paru-paru. Zat sulfur jika terserap dalam tubuh dalam kadar tertentu menimbulkan iritasi sistim pernafasan.
Bahkan pada orang yang sensitif lebih mudah terkena iritasi ini. Sehingga sulfur dianggap pencemar yang berbahaya bagi kesehatan terutama terhadap orang tua dan penderita sistem pernafasan.
POLISI DAN KURIR
Petugas polisi di jalan dan kurir jelas tiap hari menghirup asap kendaraaan, polusi dan debu. Zat yang terkandung dalam polutan dan debu dengan mudah mengancam tenggorokan. Dalam jangka waktu tertentu menyerang paru.
"Jika terus menerus, bisa menyerang darah. Itu bisa merembet ke bagian penting tubuh manusia lainnya," ungkap dr. Abraham.
Unsur kimia berbahaya yang terdapat akibat pembuangan gas yakni CO (Carbon monoksida) dan HC (Hidrocarbon)
