“…Inhalation rate is the volume of air contaminated with NH3 and H2S gases that enter the body of adult category workers using the US-EPA default value of 0.83 m 3 /hour. Based on observations about the habits of workers in wearing masks, it can be seen that all workers have a habit of not wearing masks, this can affect the amount of NH3 and H2S gases that enter the respiratory tract and cause respiratory problems [15].…”

NH3 and H2S gases was produced from the decomposition process of the rest of the fur, meat and pieces of skin that can pose a risk to the health of workers. The aims of the study were analyze and determine the risk of exposure to NH3 and H2S gases on the health of workers in the Small Industrial Environment (LIK) of Magetan Regency. The design of this research was descriptive quantitative which the aim was to describe an event that occurs in numerical and narrative form. The study used a cross sectional time approach design and the ARKL approach (Environmental Health Risk Analysis) with a sample of 13 workers. Air sampling was carried out at one location where the leather tanning process was carried out at the fleshing stage. The data analysis method used risk analysis to determine the risk characterization of workers in the Small Industrial Environment (LIK) Magetan. Based on the ARKL guidelines, the amount of risk said to be "safe" if the RQ value 1, and the amount of risk said to be "unsafe" if the RQ value > 1. The results showed that the concentration of NH3 and H2S gases was still below the NAV based on the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Number PER.13/MEN/X/2018, namely 25 ppm and 1 ppm. The ARKL calculation used the minimum and maximum values for measuring NH3 and H2S gas concentrations with reference concentrations (RfC) values of 0.5 mg/kg/day and 0.002 mg/kg/day. RQ values for workers for NH3 and H2S gas concentrations for all RQ concentrations < 1 safe for workers. The conclusion is that the level of risk of exposure to NH3 and H2S gas in the Small Industry Environment (LIK) of Magetan Regency is safe for workers. The suggestion for the agency was to manage the place for the disposal of the rest of the meat, fur, and fresh skin so that it was not accumulate and not produce excessive odors. Workers were also advised to wear masks as personal protective equipment.

“…Our subjects dominant did not have chronic respiratory symptom with good spirometry result. 10 Noxious exposure in farming activities does not only come from pesticides, but also exposure from other organic dust, an-organic dust, and noxious gas. Each of those components will cause different pathological reactions and create variations in clinical respiratory symptoms.…”

Background: Pesticide is related to respiratory diseases; thus, personal protective equipment is very important as a preventive equipment while using pesticide. However, farmers in Indonesia still rarely use PPE when farming for reasons of inconvenience and availability problems. Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. Sampling technique was consecutive sampling. Subject was 62 residents of Sukawana Village, Kintamani, Bangli who work as farmers and used pesticides. Results: Dominant subject never experienced chronic respiratory symptom. The spirometry results showed mean of FVC (L) was 3.50 liters, FVC% was 93.31%, FEV1 (L) was 3.09, FEV1% was 97.64%, FEV1/FVC was 88.72, FEF 25-75% (L/s) was 4.07 liters/second, and FEF 25-75% was 106.95%. Age was significantly related to the occurrence of wheezing but not significantly related to another. Older people have significantly lower mean of FVC (L), FEV 1 (L), and FEF 25-75% (L/s) than younger. Smokers have significantly higher mean of FVC (L) and FEF 25-75% (L/s) than non-smokers. Conclusions: The dominant subject never experienced chronic respiratory symptom with spirometry mean values within normal limits. Age was significantly related to the occurrence of wheezing. Older age has significantly lower mean of FVC (L), FEV 1(L), and FEF 25-75% (L/s).
