Abstract :
Abstract: Particulate matter 2.5 is one of the six pollutants most harmful to and can cause COPD. The aim of this study was to analyze risk exposure of fine particles and occurrence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in boiler workers in glue factory, Probolinggo. This is cross sectional analytical observational. The research sample was 11 people and fine particles. The collected data were analyzed with environmental health risk analysis methods and fisher’s exact test. The result showed that the highest fine particles measurement was 60.27 µg/m3. The main sources of fine particles pollutant came from the fumes of tank truck and back hoe, smoke, coal, fly ash, and bottom ash. Environmental health risk analysis showed that during their lenght of service, workers safe to work in that area with concentration of fine particles as measured. Fisher’s Exact test statistic for the variable of smoking habits, smoking severity, and age was not significant. Whereas, for risk quotient variable, statistical result is undefined because the risk quotient value of all workers are safe. Since the company stands to this study has not found the incidence of COPD due to exposure of fine particles on Boiler workers in glue factory. However, the factory ought to measure fine particles routinely for ensure that the concentration of fine particles doesn’t exceed the TLV.
