Secara alami radiasi hadir di lingkungan kita. Dalam kehidupan manusia, berdasarkan evolusi lingkungan, terdapat tingkat radiasi ionizing yang signifikan. Radiasi alfa dan beta merupakan jenis radiasi yang banyak ditemukan di sekitar. Manusia yang terpapar radiasi jenis beta mungkin memberikan beberapa risiko kesehatan eksternal untuk tubuhnya. Pengolahan limbah B3 pada rumah sakit sebagai peningkatan limbah berbahaya infeksius yang disebabkan oleh pandemi dikaitkan dengan risiko penularan virus. Pengembangan alat yang dapat menghitung tingkat radiasi dalam suatu ruangan pengelolaan limbah B3 bisa menjadi inovasi yang memungkinkan pengguna dapat mengawasi tingkat radiasi untuk menekan dampak radiasi bagi manusia. Untuk menjembatani kendala yang ada, maka penelitian ini merancang sebuah alat ukur radiasi menggunakan Geiger-Muller Counter berbantuan mikrokontroler Arduino untuk mengatasi masalah B3 yang ada di rumah sakit. Modul ini dirancang untuk membantu petugas pengolah limbah agar dapat melindungi diri dari paparan radiasi yang melebihi dosis radiasi. Modul geiger-muller terdiri dari Arduino uno sebagai peralatan kontrol dan LCD Nokia 5110 sebagai display hasil pengukuran. Modul Geiger-muller terdapat tabung Geiger M4011, mikrokontroler Arduino uno dan LCD Nokia 5110. Modul Geiger-Muller berhasil diujikan dengan ion chamber yang mengandung material radioaktif. Modul Geiger-Muller memberikan respon berupa suara/alarm dan tanda LED menyala berkedip Ketika mendeteksi peningkatan intensitas radiasi di sekitar tabung Geiger M4011
ABSTRACT
Radiation is naturally present in our environment. In human life, based on the evolution of the environment, there is a significant level of ionizing radiation. Alpha and beta radiation are types of radiation that are commonly found around. Humans who are exposed to beta-type radiation may present some external health risks to their bodies. B3 waste treatment in hospitals as an increase in infectious hazardous waste caused by a pandemic is associated with the risk of virus transmission. The development of a tool that can calculate radiation levels in a B3 waste management room can be an innovation that allows users to monitor radiation levels to reduce the impact of radiation on humans. To bridge the existing obstacles, this study designed a radiation measuring instrument using the Geiger-Muller Counter assisted by an Arduino microcontroller to overcome the B3 problem in the hospital. The design of this module is designed to help waste treatment workers to protect themselves from radiation exposure that exceeds the radiation dose. The geiger-muller module consists of an Arduino uno as a control device and a Nokia 5110 LCD as a display of measurement results. The Geiger-Muller module contains a Geiger M4011 tube, an Arduino uno microcontroller and a Nokia 5110 LCD. The Geiger-Muller module has been successfully tested with an ion chamber containing radioactive material. The Geiger-Muller module responds in the form of sound/alarm and the LED flashes when it detects an increase in radiation intensity around the Geiger M4011 tube.
