Characteristic, Levels of lead in the blood, and hypertension of Workers Batteries Home Industry at Talun Village Sukodadi District Lamongan Regency

Abstract

Lead (Pb) is one of the pollutants that can cause hypertension. The objectives of this study were to analyze characteristic, levels of Lead (Pb) in blood and hypertension at home industry workers batteries. This research was an observational descriptive studies and used cross-sectional approach. Data obtained from interviews, questionnaires, and observation. Measurement of blood lead used Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and blood pressure measurements used a tensimeter. Samples were selected by total population of 10 workers batteries home industry. The results of the research that most workers age is less than 30 years was 50%, the worker men was 60%, workers who have a habit of smoke was 30%, Pb levels in the blood of workers 30% above the standards set by ATSDR (1999) < 10 μg/dL, and 40% of workers have hypertension. Cross-tabulation showed that workers who have hypertension that workers aged 31–40 years (50%), workers with employment ≤ 5 year period (40%), male workers (66.7%), workers who was smoke (100%), workers with no history of hypertension and diabetes (40%) and workers who have levels of lead (Pb) in the blood > 10 μg/dL (100%). Advise the workers to reduce cigarette consumption and wear personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves and boots while they work to reduce exposure of lead (Pb).Keywords: characteristic of workers, levels of lead (Pb) in the blood, hypertension, workers home industry batteries

The Role of Home Industry in Improving the Economy to Become a Resilient Village

“…There is even one hamlet in the village there is a tourist spot. A tourism village is a form of integration between attractions, accommodations, and supporting facilities presented in a structure of unified community life with the procedures and traditions that apply (Fibrianti & Azizah, 2015).

Optimasi Penyerapan Ion Logam Pb2+ Menggunakan Kulit Manggis (Garcinia Mangostana L.) Dengan Matode Batch

“…Selain itu dapat menyebabkan kelainan tulang pada anak dan menyerang pada sistem reproduksi pria [5]. Kadar timbal pada darah ialah < 10 g/dL, meski kadar timbal pada darah normal kurang dari batas maksimum yang diperbolehkan tetapi timbal bisa menyebabkan masalah kesehatan pada manusia [6]. Sedangkan menurut WHO (World Health Organization) baku mutu limbah Pb2+ dalam air sebesar 0,1 mg/L dan menurut KLH (Kementrian Lingkungan Hidup) No 02 tahun 1988 sebesar 0,05 -1 mg/L [7].…”

karakteristik individu terhadap timbal darah dan dampaknya pada Hb Pekerja Bengkel1

“…Paparan timbal merupakan ancaman yang sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia karena bersifat toksik terhadap manusia baik yang masuk ke dalam tubuh lewat inhalasi, saluran pernapasan, maupun penetrasi lewat kulit. Timbal yang masuk ke dalam tubuh normalnya 0,3 µg/dL per hari, jika pemasukan timbal dalam tubuh sebanyak 2,5 µg/dL per hari maka butuh waktu 3 sampai 6 tahun untuk mendapatkan efek toksik, sedangkan apabila pemasukan timbal 3,5 µg/dL per hari maka butuh waktu hanya beberapa bulan saja untuk terakumulasinya timbal dalam tubuh (Fibrianti & Azizah, 2016 Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 20 responden diperoleh kelompok yang memiliki rerata kadar Pb tertinggi yaitu kelompok tingkat pendidikan SMA sebanyak 13 orang (11,5 µg/dL) dengan rerata kadar Hb normal. Dari penelitian ini diketahui tidak ada hubungan antara kadar timbal dan kadar Hb terhadap tingkat pendidikan (p>0,05) (Lampiran 5).…”
