Vol. 4 No. 3 (2024) Integration of Phytoremediation and Environmental Factors in Addressing Pollution and Infectious Diseases
This issue presents an in-depth analysis of the interactions between phytoremediation, environmental factors, and their impact on health and agricultural productivity. With a focus on pollutant removal through plants such as Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes, this article explains how phytoremediation can reduce BOD and phosphate levels in wastewater effluents. In addition, this issue explores the role of air pollution and e-waste in disrupting agricultural productivity in urban areas and the impact of environmental factors on the spread of infectious diseases. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this issue aims to provide a better insight into the environmental challenges facing modern society and the solutions that can be applied.
The articles in this issue were authorized/co-authorized by authors from Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Jordan,

Abstract
Pollution is a serious problem faced by Indonesia, where many water sources are contaminated by domestic, industrial and agricultural waste. These sources of pollution include fecal waste, household waste, and hazardous chemicals such as heavy metals and microplastics, requiring effective solutions to restore the quality of aquatic ecosystems. Several mechanisms that occur during the phytoremed

Abstract
Wastewater produced by health facilities such as Community Health Centers has great potential to pollute the environment, especially due to the high levels of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and phosphate. Phytoremediation, using plants such as Eichhornia crassipes and pumice, is an efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical waste treatment method. The purpose of this study was

Abstract
Over time, Giardia lamblia has become the most dominant causative factor in gastrointestinal diseases in developing countries. The spread of this parasite can also occur through water and food contaminated by sewage and anal sex. In children, Giardiasis transmission usually occurs through fecal-oral transmission or transmission of the disease from feces to the mouth. This research was
