Farmers exposed to pesticides. It can cause pollution and residues. Pesticides contain Plumbum (Pb). Pb can effect to the hematopoietic, digestive, urinary, kidney, central nervous, reproductive, cardiac and endocrine systems. The purpose was to determine the relationship between types of pesticides based on the active compounds used on Pb levels in the farmers blood in Bangka district. This research is analytic observational with cross sectional approach. The subjects were 20 farmers exposed to pesticides and with criteria based on the questionnaire in Bangka district. Use quota sampling. Primary data, namely measurement of blood lead levels using the Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrophotometry (ICP-MS) method and types of pesticides based on active compounds. Level of Pb in the farmer's blood was the highest level of 6.6 g/dL and the lowest level of 1.7 g/dL with an average of 4.1 g/dL and still within normal limits. Respondents who used organophosphate pesticides found the highest levels of 6.6 g/dL and the lowest levels of 2.5 g/dL with an average of 4.36 g/dL. Respondents who used carbamate pesticide obtained the highest level of 5.1 g/dL and the lowest level of 1.7 g/dL with an average of 4.06 g/dL. The results from the ANOVA test with an F count of 4.789 and a significance level of probability 0.032 < 0.05, there was a significant relationship between types of pesticides based on the content of active compounds used by farmers on blood lead levels in Bangka district.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
