Hubungan Kadar Debu Terhirup (Respirable) Dengan Kapasitas Vital Paksa Paru Pada Pekerja Mebel Kayu di Kota Jayapura
Abstract: Furniture workers is
one of the informal workers. Workers in this group are have not received occupational
health services as expected. Pulmonary function disorders due to work which the
most common especially in the wood processing industry.
Methods: Research purpose was to analyze the relationship among factors
of respirable dust level, age, working years, nutrition status, smoking habit,
exercise habit, duration of exposure, and use of the PPE with the lung forced
vital capacity on wood furniture workers in Jayapura. This study was an
observational research with cross sectional approach and a sample of 40 man taken
by purposive sampling. Respirable dust levels were measured using the Personal
Sample Pump, tested for dust analysis using the Gravimetric method, while in
the lung forced vital capacity was measured with Spirometry, and other data
obtained by interviews. Data analysis using the Kendall’s Tau and Mann Whitney
tests (± = 0,05).
Results: The results showed levels of respirable dust in excess of TLV
(> 1 mg/m3) for 3 respondents (7,5 %), the highest dust levels are 1.220
mg/m3 and the lowest at 0,020 mg/m3, the average value of 0,222 and SD 0,282
while for lung forced vital capacity by 23 respondents (42,5 %) had disorders
lung function (restriction), 5 respondents (12,5%) had moderate restriction of
18 respondents (45%) had mild restriction with the highest value is 183 % FVC
and lowest at 51 %, the average value of 84,40 % and SD 25,289. Statistical
tests showed association (p = 0,05) between the levels of respirable dust
(p-value = 0,050) with lung forced vital capacity, and that show no association
(p > 0,05) is age (p-value = 0,916), working years (p-value = 0,991), BMI
(p-value < 0,084), smoking habit (p-value = 0,158), exercise habit (p-value
= 0,663), duration of exposure (p-value = 0,718), and use of the PPE (p-value =
0,658).
Conclusion: The factors that affect the lung forced vital capacity in
wood furniture workers in Jayapura is respirable dust levels.
