Abstract :

The research location in East Java is the centre of red onion producer. The preliminary survey in research location showed that the spraying of pesticide in red onion farm was done three to four times in a week, starting from planting until a week before harvesting. At certain months, the spraying was done intensively, once a day, to avoid pests. Pesticides are hazardous materials that can cause negative impacts on human health and environmental sustainability. This study is aimed at making analysis of the altered activities of cholinesterase activities, sodium and potassium in a serum before and after the spraying on red onion farmers. This was an analytic observational study with cross sectional approach. The study was conducted on March–June 2013. Data retrieval was performed in May–June 2013. Study subject consisted of 17 participants. They were observed before and after the spraying activity. The data collection was done through questionnaires and the examination of the level of cholinesterase and electrolyte serum. Data was analyzed using paired t-test and linear regression. The study showed that there was significant difference between sodium (p = 0.037) and potassium (= < 0.0001) levels before and after spraying, Linear regression indicated a relationship between wearing protective equipment (p = 0.001), length of exposure (p = 0.019) and cholinesterase.  There was a significant difference between sodium and potassium before and after the spray, the existence of a meaningful relationship between wearing of protective equipment, length of exposure and cholinesterase.   Keywords: , , , ,
