This study aimed to determine the relationship between working period and blood lead (Pb) levels in smoking online motorcycle taxi drivers at Banyuraden Base. This study used a cross-sectional design with 20 respondents, and blood Pb levels were examined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. The results showed that most respondents (75%) had abnormal blood Pb levels. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that all respondents (100%) had a working period of ≥ 1 year. Blood lead (Pb) levels had a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 686 µg/dL, with an average of 87.8. Most respondents (75%) had abnormal blood Pb levels. The Spearman correlation test showed a p-value of 0.034 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between working period and blood lead (Pb) levels. The longer the working period of online motorcycle taxi drivers, the higher the blood lead (Pb) levels tended to be.]]>
