HUBUNGAN KADAR DEBU DENGAN FUNGSI PARU PADA PEKERJA PROSES PRESS-PACKING DI USAHA PENAMPUNGAN BUTUT KELURAHAN TANJUNG MULIA HILIR MEDAN TAHUN 2013
Abstract: The exposure of dust in a long time at work place will cause the heavy stress on
organ of respiratory system. The purpose of this research is to know how the
correlation of dust concentration with lung function on press-packing process
of battered at Tanjung Mulia Hilir Medan 2013. This research is an analytic
survey with cross sectional design, which sample are 19 people (total
population). Data are analyze by using chi-square test and to know the
correlation using multiple regression
logistic test with Backward Stepwise method. The result of research showed that
the dust concentration at four point measure at the work place still under the
Threshold Limit Value (< 3mg/m3) which are 0.014 mg/m3, 0.007 mg/m3, 0.080
mg/m3 and 0.020 mg/m3. In other hand the lung function shows that 4 workers
(20.1%) have disorder and 15 workers (78.9%) are normal. The chi-square test
found that the variable of age, periode
of work, a history of lung disease showed has not a significant correlation
with lung function. But, the smoking habit and using of PPE has a significant
correlation with lung function. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the use of PPE has more significant correlation with
lung function (p =0.038) than smoking
habit. From the result, the worker recommended have to wear personal protective
equipment like mask and stop smoking habit to prevent lung function disorder.
