Abstract

Pesticides are materials that are widely used in various sectors, improper and correct use of pesticides can cause health problems where pesticides can cause hypertension because pesticides that enter the human body will be able to increase the enzyme acetylcholinesterase or Ache, so that there will be an accumulation reaction in the joints. Clinogenic neuro-effectors and autonomic ganglion which have an impact on the emergence of hypertension problems. The method in this research uses a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional analytical approach, the sampling technique in this research uses a total sampling technique from all workers totaling 17 respondents who work as farmers, the data collected is primary data and a univariate analysis test is carried out and bivariate analysis with Chi-square test to find relationships. The results of this research found that 64.7% of respondents experienced hypertension and 35.3% did not experience hypertension. Based on the data analysis carried out, it was found that the incidence of hypertension was significantly higher in the age group ≥ 30, working period ≥ 8years, longwork ≥ 8O'clock,smoking status is yes and PPE equipment is not good with a p value <0.05.

Abstract

In the clove leaf oil refining process which uses steam, it produces a hot temperature residue which affects clove leaf oil refinery workers. Exposure to a hot working climate can have an impact on human physiological responses such as an increase in body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure and weight loss. as a result of producing quite a lot of sweat fluid. This research aims to investigate the physiological responses of clove leaf oil refinery workers to exposure to a hot working climate. In the clove leaf oil refining process, which utilizes steam, the production of hot temperature residue affects the workers. Exposure to such conditions can lead to various physiological responses, including increased body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and weight loss due to significant sweating. Employing a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional analytical approach, data were collected from all 22 workers using a total sampling technique. The primary data collected were subjected to analysis using paired simple t-tests and the Pearson correlation test to explore relationships between variables. The findings reveal significant increases in physiological responses post-work, including elevated body temperature, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and a reduction in body weight. The obtained p-values for all variables were <0.05, indicating statistically significant differences between pre-work and post-work conditions. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation test analysis between heat stress data and post-work physiological responses, including body temperature, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as body weight, revealed moderate to strong correlations (r). These results underscore the detrimental impact of hot working climates on the physiological well-being of clove leaf oil refinery workers. Such findings highlight the urgent need for implementing appropriate measures to mitigate heat-related health risks in occupational settings, safeguarding the health and safety of workers.
