The Influence Of Total Suspended Particulate (Tsp), Carboksihemoglobin And Individual Characteristics Of Vital Capacity Of Lung Fish Craffickers In Fishing Center

Abstract

The ingredients used for fish fogging are coconut shells and corncobs. As a result of combustion can produce dust and carbon monoxide, exposure to the process of fumigation continuously can cause a decrease in lung function capacity. Individual characteristics are factors that can affect the decrease in lung function capacity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of total suspended particulate, carboxyhemoglobin and individual characteristics on the vital capacity of the pulmonary smoked fish craftsmen. This research is a quantitative study with cross sectional study method. The number of samples was 80 respondents with 33 respondents in Semarang fumigation centers and 47 respondents in Wonosari demak fumigation. Statistical tests using chi-square and multiple logistic regression. The results showed that there was an influence between age on vital lung capacity p-value = 0.004 with PR = 4.6. There is an influence between working period on vital lung capacity p-value = 0.001 with PR = 5. There is an influence between carboxyhemoglobin on vital lung capacity p-value = 0.032 with PR = 3. Gender, body mass index and exercise habits do not influence the capacity vital lung. Workers are advised to take a break when burning smoke has filled the work area and feel the initial symptoms of decreased respiratory function, Puskesmas through the UKK post conducts preventive activities in the form of dissemination of respiratory health.
