Hubungan Kadar Timah Hitam (Pb) Dalam Darah Dengan Profil Darah Studi Pada Petugas Pengujian Emisi Gas Buang Dinas Perhubungan Kabupaten Purbalingga dan Banjarnegara
Abstract: Fuel oil in
Indonesia is still using of leaded gasoline, so that 70% of Pb from the burning
will be emitted to the air. The official exhaust emission testing have a high
risk, exposure to which continue to cause health problems, one of which is a
disorder of the blood profile. The purpose of this study was to analysis the
relationship between blood lead and blood profiles in exhaust emissions testing
officer department of Transportation District Purbalingga and Banjarnegara.
Methods: This research method was an observational analytic research with
a cross sectional study design.Subjects were official exhaust emission testing
with the inclusion criteria.Variables examined in this study are blood lead and
blood profiles in the official exhaust emission testing. Data was collected
through interviews, observation and measurement. Analysis of data using
univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with spearman rank correlation.
Results: The study found the average lead was 13.362 µg/dl, which means
it was under the toxic threshold (40 ug/dl) and the average of blood profiles
consisting of hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, hematocrit was
15.737 ug/dl; 5.210.106/ml; 8.0723.103 / ml; 220.06.103/ml; 45.383%, 87.31 fl;
30.297pg; 34.685 fl. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship
between blood lead and blood profile (erythrocytes and hematocrit ), with p-value and sequentially rho 0.018; 0.397 and
0.039; 0.35 (p-value <0.05).
Conclusions: The conclusion of this study, although the value level of
blood lead below the threshold toxic but are at risk in blood profile (decrease
the number of erythrocytes and hematocrit levels) so that there is need for an
appeal to the official testing of exhaust emissions in order to use Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) like a respirator, to reduce customs cigarette
consumption, routine doing check-ups, increase the consumption of foods
containing iron and vitamin C as well as expand the ventilation in the testing
room, install exhaust and greenery around the testing room exhaust emissions.
