This study analyzed factors associated with xylene exposure among car painters in Surabaya, Indonesia. Xylene is commonly used in automotive spray painting and can pose health risks to workers through inhalation or skin exposure. The study found xylene levels in five car painting workshops ranged from 31.7 to 341 ppm, with two workshops exceeding the recommended exposure limit of 100 ppm. Higher temperatures and lack of ventilation were associated with higher xylene levels. Workshops with more partially enclosed spaces and workers had higher exposures. Exposure to xylene poses health risks that increase with higher concentrations and longer durations of exposure. Controlling temperature, ventilation, and enclosure of workspaces can help reduce xylene exposure among car painters.

The Link between the User´s Health and Deficiencies in the Physical Indoor En...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— In this project we study a school building where users for many years have complained about health problems. The symptoms reported are often nonspecific and are also common among the population in general, such as headache, fatigue, mucosal and skin problems. The purpose of this project is to investigate whether physical deficiencies in the indoor environment can be identified by measurements that can be linked to the health problems that users complain about. The starting point is to use a working model that not only seek damages in the building itself as the cause of the problems, but considering all polluting factors affecting the air environment. The measurement results, both the survey and the study of the physical measurements, show that there are problems with the air environment in the school building. The study shows that a link has been identified, that is the physical measurements show deficiencies in the air environment that is directly linked to the health problems that users complain about. Through a program of action a significant improvement of the indoor environment has been achieved, since the unhealthy emissions have been eliminated. Dry air prevails most of the year in the school building, below 40% and periodically below 20%. The cause of the dry air, are the air flows that the ventilation system creates. In Sweden the authorities pose far-reaching demands on the ventilation flow, causing technological systems installed to create these air flows. This would however go beyond the framework of this project.

Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

I. INTRODUCTION
Growth in the number of people around the world so
rapidly have encouraged the era of industrialization. A
period marked by the rapid development of science and
technology, so that people can more easily meet their
needs. The situation is further open employment
diversity. The field work is needed on the one hand, but
on the other hand need realize the problems that need to
be considered which is associated with the impact of
occupational diseases.
The growing world of industry led to a growing number
of potential dangers and risks faced by workers. Potential
hazards and risks in the industry for example, a variety of
chemicals that are raw materials, by-products, as well as a
variety of factors other hazards that may pose a risk to the
workforce.
Indirect impact on the progress of industrialization in the
form of occupational disease, where this needs serious
attention. One area of work that needs attention is
occupational disease in workers exposed to organic
solvents for example on paint manufacturing workers,
shipyard workers in the painting, car repair shop, and etc.
A variety of health consequences, including the risk of
occupational diseasebecause of exposure to chemicals
contained in the organic solvents, one of which is a
neurological complaints.
The workers groups need attention because their numbers
are constantly growing, while the risk of disease due to its
big enough. Currently no less than 100 car paint repair
shop car painting spread over the area in the Village
Bubutan, District Bubutan, City Surabya. That number
has increased gradually each year.
Car painting process using paints containing organic
solvents. Exposure to paint solvent vapor can cause
irritation and damage to the eyes and mucous membranes,
respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, and skin. Exposure
to organic chemicals (xylene, n-hexane, methylalcohol
etc.) can cause damage to the nervous system.
II. METHODS
This study was designed as an observational study
conducted cross-sectional to analyze the relationship
between levels of xylene exposure and characteristic of
workshops in car painting area in Surabaya. The study
involved five workshops of car painting which consist of
car painters worked in.
In this study the variables that will be carefully divided as
the characteristics of workshops such as, length of work,
part of the job, years of smoking habit, the habit of
exercise, use of protective equipment themselves in the
form of masks, and xylene levels in environmental work
station in car painting areas in Surabaya.
The technique of collecting data using interview
techniques with the help of questionnaires, observations
with the help of a checklist, and documentation study.
III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Surabaya is the capital of East Java province.
Geographically located between the 0721 'South latitude
and 11236' - 11 254 'east longitude. Metropolis with a
population of nearly 3 million inhabitants. The total area
of 274.06 km2 Surabaya city is divided into 31 districts

Bubutan sub-district is one of the districts of the 31
districts in Surabaya with the area of 4.04 km². There are
five villages in the district Bubutan, namely Bubutan
Village, Village Alon-Alon Contong, Gundih Village,
Village Jepara, and Wall Dukuh village. This study was
conducted in Pengenal Street, Village Bubutan.
The majority of residents in Pengenal Street work as
informal workers who work in the welding shop, dodog
and car paint. Painting businesses have been around since
the 1970s, located in Pengenal Street and surrounding
areas. This effort is the informal sector, where the
painting operations carried out at the roadside, with the
type of business that is almost the same, namely to serve
the painting, dodog and welding. Type of vehicle is a car
serviced in general, but some workshops also receive a
motor painting services.
Car painting business premises located on the roadside, or
utilize unused land, such as the National House lawn
Indonesia, Printing Birawa building parking lot, and
several permanent workshop in Jalan Identity, District
Bubutan, Surabaya. Garage business at this location
consists of workshops open and semi-enclosed garage
(partially open). In general, the final stage of car painting
is done in the open field, semi-enclosed workshop is
usually used to paint a small section of the car.
At the beginning of the development of painting in the
street identifier Surabaya car starts from a few people
who open businesses car painting, then increasing over
time, the increasing needs and limited formal
employment, many people involved in car painting open
businesses in the area.
Most workers in Jalan identifiers are migrants from
outside the region Surabaya. Car painting effort started on
average at 08.00 to 17.00 every day of the week.
However, there are several workshops which only
operates Monday to Saturday. The study involved 51
workers car painting which is divided into 36 painters and
15 pendempul.
Based on observations during the study, materials used in
vehicle paint is organic solvent and paint. Painting is done
by spraying (spray paint) with the help of the compressor.
Material that comes out in the form of aerosols containing
some chemicals. One of the chemicals found in paint
solvent is xylene.
Organic solvents are widely used in industry, among
others in the processing of fuels, degreasant, adhesive and
paint industry. It is estimated that about 2 million workers
(9% of the working population) in the United Kingdom
using these chemicals on a regular basis (Dick et al.,
2000). In Indonesia, the use of organic solvents widely
used, especially in the industrial sector which uses
chemical raw materials, one of them in the painting
industry.
Xylene is an ingredient that is most dominant in spray
painting in the automotive industry (Winder and Stacey,
2005). When the paint is sprayed, the worker will be
exposed not only by the steam, but also from the mist, a
collection of fine particles in the form of a liquid. The
shape will be very easily inhaled by workers or into the
skin, especially if not wearing a mask and appropriate
work clothes (WWAC 2009).
Levels of xylene composition measured by a laboratory,
which is m-xylene (40-65%), p-xylene (20%), o-xylene
(20%) and ethyl benzene (6-20%). Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) set a limit value of
tolerance or permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 100 ppm
for xylene in a concentration of 8 hours of exposure or 8-
h time-weighted average (TWA). National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended
exposure limits xylene is 100 ppm TWA up to 10 hours
on working hours per day or 40 hours per week and 200
ppm for 10 minutes of exposure as brief exposure or
short-term limit (Kandyala, 2010) ,
Some studies show the health hazards due to exposure to
xylene, the acute exposure of 200-ppm for 3-5 minutes
cause iriasi the eyes, nose and throat (Malathi, 2014).
Symptoms of anorexia, nausea and vomiting shown by
workers exposed to vapors of xylene for 2 weeks (Uchida
et al., 1993). Exposure to 10,000 ppm of xylene in
inhalasai show complaints of kidney function
characterized by increased levels of β-glukoronidase and
albumin in the urine, as well as the excretion of red blood
cells and white blood cells in the urine (Malathi, 2014). A
study conducted on some groups of workers in Turkey.
Increased damage to the auditory group paint
manufacturing industry workers and workers painting in
Turkey showed 131 workers exposed to organic solvents
and noise of 85 dB in the workplace is higher than that of
workers exposed to noise only at the same rate. Organic
solvents used as raw materials in this group are xylene.
Based on this research showed levels of xylene in work
environment area in Surabaya among five locations that
manage the car painting business, (see Table 1)
respectively 31.70 ppm, 60.68 ppm, 65.93 ppm, 271 ppm
and 341 ppm, with levels of xylene in the air two
workshops are known to exceed the threshold limit value
(TLV), which is 100 ppm. However, type of workshops
thought to affect level of xylene exposure. As the airway
or ventilation have a big role with the path of xylene
exposure.
The initial three workshops (A,B and C) apparently
shows the lower levels of xylene then last workshops (D
and E) as they are kind of open workshops, while D and E
are partially open workshop with no local exhaust. This
research was conducted in car painting area informally. In
general, there are two types of painting locations, namely

the location of open and semi-closed. to an open location,
the painting done in the field or outdoors. However, in the
semi-enclosed locations, performed in a workshop that
had the door open, but does not have good air exchange
system.
According to NIOSH (2005), TLV-STEL for xylene is
50-100 ppm. The health risk resulting from xylene
exposure in car painting areas were calculated from
various workshop throughout study located. The exposure
data was collated based on the workshop. Health risk was
evaluated for each scenario using the concentration
exposure levels (C) in Table 2. In this study, it is known
that the greater levels of xylene in the air, then the
exposure concentration that is projected to be greater.
based on Table 1, if the levels of xylene in the air
received by the engine gauges indicate safe levels of
65.39, the duration for workers can work at the site is
estimated to a maximum of 4 years at the latest.
Therefore, the greater the exposure, the recommended
safe duration getting shorter. Based on the analysis of risk
exposure to xylene, known RfC of xylene is 0,001 mg /
kg.hari, then by exposure to 65.93 ppm, xylene toxic
effects can be found in workers with a weight of 70 kg
and a working 300 days per year with a duration of safely
xylene in the body for 4 years.
On the other hand, temperature of five workshops
considered in same trends which are in a rate of 30o
C to
34 o
C. if it links to the exposure, concentration of xylene
more than 100 ppm tended to rise in high temperature.
Some argue if volatile organic compound with its
characteristic as vapor can highly evaporate then been
compiled as the molecules weight of xylene itself. The
majority of xylene released to the environment directly
into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, xylene isomers
are readily degraded, mainly by photo oxidation.
Volatilization into the atmosphere from the water quickly
for all three isomers of xylene. We can see in Figure 1,
where the highest concentration of xylene in the
workshop E showing highest temperature as well.
Otherwise, in the lower of concentration of xylene there
were also the lower of temperature.
In contrast, humidity in location C was the highest among
five workshops over the location. Even though this
location barely same with initial workshops as open
workshops, the exposure highlighted as below the
threshold limit value (TLV). The influence of humidity
on the decomposition of VOCs has been studied for
several VOCs. Water vapor could enhance the removal
efficiency since it may evolve into hydroxyl radical,
whose oxidation power is superior to other oxidants.
Another point to consider is the number of worker in each
workshop. It deals with average of costumer that they
serve every day. Basically, car painting spend around 3 to
7 days to last step, which is polishing. Based on the
location of the workshop known distribution of the
number of workers in the car painting in Surabaya as
follows in Table 1. Bar chart describes the distribution of
the number of workers in the car painting in Surabaya, the
largest known number of workers are in Workshop C,
which is 13 people or 25.5%, while the lowest was in
Workshop B, as many as 8 or 15, 7%. In general, all
workshops experience the same patterns either for number
of workers and costumer in a week to some extent, but
percentage of workers in workshop C, which have more
workers, also have sizeable number of costumer.
However, type of workshop in C is the same with A and
B which are open workshop, while workshop D and E are
kind of partially open workshop.
Based on this study also reported the, working periode
and working duration of respondents, known to the
average service life of 22.29 years, while the average
length of employment of the respondents is 7.29 hours.
The minimum employment period of workers is 9 years
old and the longest working period is 41 years. In
addition, long known that the worker is a minimum of 5
hours per day, and a maximum working time of 8 hours
per day.
Results of research on the frequency distribution in car
painting areas (Table 1), it is known from the 51
respondents who works as a painter as many as 36 people
or 70.6%, while 15 people as non-painter os technical
staff as 29.4%.

V. CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis of factors associated with xylene
exposure, it can be concluded as follows:
1. There is a relationship between characteristics of
workshops with xylene exposure in car painting areas in
Surabaya.
2. Factors workshop characteristics form and pettern of
working is associated with increasing levels of xylene
exposure in car painting workshop in Surabaya.
