HUBUNGAN ANTARA KADAR TIMAH (Pb) HITAM DALAM DARAH DENGAN KADAR HEMOGLOBIN (Hb)
Abstract: The increased number
of motor vehicles which not balace by widing or prolonging of road will
accumulate emission on the air. One of the emission component was lead (Pb).
Some researchs indicated that had negative effects to health. This study was
aimed to know the relationship between blood lead level and hemoglobin level of
the street boys in Yogyakarta.
This was an analytical observasional (non experimental) research with
cross sectional study. The subjects of this study were 30 street boys (10-18
years old) which resided in special cross roads of main road in Yogyakarta,
i.e.Malioboro (post office), PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Gramedia Book Store and
Mirota Campus. Two milliliters of blood were drawn up from the cubital vein of
the subject to examine the blood lead level (ug/dl) with Atomic Absorbent
Spectrophotometry, and to examine the hemoglobin level (g/dl) with
cyanmethemoglobin metode by microlab spectrophotometry 300. There were only 26
of 30 subjects which fulfilled the criterions to be analyzed. Data were
analyzed by Spearman’s Rho correlation test and multiple regression. A p value
af d”0,05 was set as a significant level.
The result showed that the average of streer boy’s blood lead level were
150,8 ± 41,20 ug/dl. All of the street boys had the blood lead level more than
10 ud/dl (the blood leadlevel threshold for children was defined by ATSDR). The
average of hemoglobin level of the street boys were 10,28 ± 1,51 g/dl, which
70,08 % of them suffered anemia (hemoglobin level <12g/dl). Bivariate
Spearman’s Rho correlations test result demontrated thatblood lead level and
history of alcohol intake had negative correlation with the hemoglobin level (r
= -0,663 and -0,396 respectively). Age,nutrition status, smoking habit, and
expose duration had no correlation significantly with the hemoglobin level.
Multiple regression test result showed that blood lead level was the only
factor that predict the hemoglobin level. Contributions of blood leaf level
were 36,7 % toward hemoglobin level, so the contributions of other factory that
influenced hemoglobin level were 63,3 %. Increased of 1 ug/dl of blood lead level was responsible
to 0,22 g/dl decreased of hemoglobin level. It was concluded that blood lead
level had negative linier correlation with the hemoglobin level.
Key word: lead, hemoglobin,
