Abstract

In the batik industry that uses synthetic dyes as batik dyes, batik industry workers are at risk of exposure to lead contained in synthetic dyes. Continuous exposure to lead can cause health problems and damage erythrocytes, thereby shortening the life of erythrocytes and reducing the number of erythrocytes. This study aims to determine the levels of lead in the blood and the number of erythrocytes in batik industry workers in Banaran Village, Grogol, Sukoharjo. The method used in this study is a descriptive cross-sectional method and a purposive sampling method, as many as 25 respondents who meet the criteria and have filled out the informed consent. The examination data were analyzed using a bivariate test with a significance level used to test the significance of the relationship is <0.05. The results obtained showed that the levels of lead in the blood of 25 respondents were still within the normal threshold according to the CDC, which is <10 µg / dL with lead levels between 0.03 µg / dL-4.896 µg / dL. The results of the erythrocyte count examination showed that 1 (4%) respondents had a lower than normal erythrocyte count and 24 (96%) respondents had a normal erythrocyte count. Lead levels in batik industry workers in Banaran Village, Grogol, Sukoharjo are still within the normal threshold according to the CDC and most batik industry workers have normal erythrocyte counts.

Abstract

Smoking activities, especially tobacco, produce ash, light and smoke that contain toxins for the body. The largest exposure to toxins from smoking is Cadmium (Cd), around 25% - 50% of Cd is absorbed through cigarette smoke. Cd will enter the respiratory tract in the form of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) then to the lungs and bind to erythrocytes, following the blood circulation to the tissues and organs of the body. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of cadmium in the blood of active smokers and used a descriptive method. The samples used came from 15 subjects who were willing to have blood samples taken. The examination method used is ICP MS The results of the study from 15 samples of active smokers who were courier service workers showed that the highest level of cadmium (Cd) was 3.1 µg / L and the lowest cadmium (Cd) content was 0.3 µg / L. The results of the study of 15 samples of active smokers who are courier service workers found that cadmium (Cd) levels ranged from 3.1 µg/L to 0.3 µg/L. The conclusion of this study is that cadmium (Cd) levels in the blood are still within normal limits, namely below 5.0 µg/L according to OHSA (Ocupational Safety and Health Administration).
