Abstract
Abstract: Temporary Disposal Site (TDS) of Gadang Village Banjarmasin is one of the temporary landfills in Banjarmasin. The negative effects of waste can pollute the environment, including water and air. The purpose of this study was to identify airborne contaminant bacteria and fungi as well as the Most Probable Number (MPN) of Coliform value of piped water in the residential houses around Gadang TDS Banjarmasin. The research method is descriptive observational. The sample of this study were air and piped water. Air sampling is done by open plate and MPN Coliform sampling was obtained by purposive sampling method. The results of this study showed the air contaminant bacteria in the house were Staphylococcus aureus (55.56%) and Escherichia coli (44.44%) in the environment around the TDS all results were obtained with the same percentage. Aspergillus niger was dominantly found at a distance of 20-30 m and 40-50 m while Aspergillus flavus was mostly found at the distance around 30-40 m. MPN Coliform in piped water showed coliform bacteria contamination with MPN coliform index of 2.0-7.5/100ml water samples. In conclusion, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is more common than Escherichia coli. Most fungi species found in this study was Aspergillus niger. In the piped water examination for all samples MPN Coliform was found in the low risk category.

Highlights
The rate of waste production in major cities in Indonesia, including Banjarmasin, continues to increase, in line with the rate of population growth, and in line with the increasing consumption patterns of society
Air pollution is the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi as air contaminants.[1,3]
One of the t temporary disposal site in Banjarmasin is located in Gadang Village, Banjarmasin
Summary
The rate of waste production in major cities in Indonesia, including Banjarmasin, continues to increase, in line with the rate of population growth, and in line with the increasing consumption patterns of society. One of the t temporary disposal site in Banjarmasin is located in Gadang Village, Banjarmasin. The capacity of this TDS is no longer able to accommodate a large amount of waste so that a lot of garbage is scattered out of the TDS. This condition can cause pollution for the surrounding environment. It can spread to the community through air pollution, dust, and wind.[4,5] The result of a previous study about air contaminant bacteria obtained Micrococcus sp., Aerococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp., Microbacterium sp., Streptococcus sp., Klebsiella sp., Corynebacterium sp., Pseudomonas and Bacillus sp.[6,7,8]
