Berbagai Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Kejadian Gangguan Fungsi Paru Dalam Ruang Kerja (Studi Kasus Pekerja Industri Rumahan Electroplating di Kecamatan Talang Kabupaten Tegal)
Abstract: electroplating home
industry use chromium as the base
material. Chromium is used in the form of hexavalent chromium, which has toxic
effects on health. Electroplating
workers exposed chromium through the air into the lungs through inhalation.
Objective: Describe the various factors assosiated to the pulmonary dysfunction in a workplace at workers of electroplating home industry .
Methods: This study was an observational study with cross sectional
approach on 31 electroplating workers
with total sampling of each industry. Vital Lung Capacity Measurements with a
spirometer with SpyroAnalyzer type ST-75. Dust levels of Chromium with High
Volume Sampler.
Results: Results minimal amount of dust in the air of 0.0731 μg/m3, the
maximum value of dust concentration in the air is 1.8433 μg/m3 μg/m3 with a
mean of 0.774357. Multivariate analysis showed a variable duration of exposure
to chromium is the most influential variable on the incidence of pulmonary
dysfunction, (p = 0.010) with 95% CI (2.11 to 228.56), odds ratio (Exp B) =
21.97.
Conclusion: The factor shown to be associated with pulmonary dysfunction
in workers chromium electroplating is a duration of exposure to chromium more
than 4 hours a day.
