Utilization of Microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata) as Support Materi-al to Supply of Oxygen in Advanced Function of Respirator Mask in Preventing Society from URI Disease

Abstract

Indonesia is the most country who has a lot of volcanic mounts of Ring of Fire can erupt everytime it can be. When volcanoes eruptions, some of material be exploded such as bomb, lapilli, pyroclastic ash etc. Piroclastic ash can influence respiration disease and it call ISPA (Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Atas). ISPA is kind of disease which attacks lung by damaging alveolar under process of loading pyroclastic ash movement. The government gives supporting non standard mask 3 ply be used to protect people from pyroclastic ash. However, this mask can’t filter pyroclastic ash properly. So that, it makes society get suffer ISPA’s disease after have inhaled pyroclastic ash. Current research about support material for respirator mask is less than other country. In addition, the utilization of the supporting material for the mask, not many do. This research will find out solution to integrate support material e.g. microalgae (Nannochloropsis oculata) as a supplier of oxygen to enhance the advanced functionality of the mask in preventing the proliferation of ISPA’s disease.
