High dust exposure in the workplace, particularly PM2.5 dust, can increase the risk of respiratory disorders among workers. PT X, as a fertilizer manufacturer, has a high potential for dust exposure, especially during several stages of the production process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between PM2.5 dust concentration and respiratory symptoms among workers at the NPK Granulation fertilizer plant. This research employed a cross-sectional design involving 96 respondents from three factories: NPK II, III, and IV. The independent variables included PM2.5 5 concentration, duration of exposure, age, length of employment, history of respiratory illness, smoking habits, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The dependent variable was the presence of respiratory symptoms. Data collection was carried out using two methods: PM2.5 concentration was measured with a DustTrak device, while information on other variables including exposure duration, age, work history, respiratory illness history, smoking habits, PPE use, and respiratory symptoms was gathered through a questionnaire completed by the respondents. The results showed that PM2.5 concentrations in all three plants exceeded the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) set by the Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 70 of 2016. Furthermore, 59.4% of the respondents reported experiencing respiratory symptoms, indicating a potential health hazard for workers. However, among all the variables analyzed, only smoking habits showed a statistically significant association with respiratory symptoms (p = 0.003). Other variables, such as PM2.5 concentration, exposure duration, age, length of employment, history of respiratory illness, and use of PPE, did not demonstrate a significant statistical relationship. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that smoking habits are the primary risk factor associated with respiratory disorders among workers. Nevertheless, the fact that PM2.5 levels exceeded the TLV highlights that the work environment still poses a serious health risk. Therefore, PT X should strengthen its efforts in smoking control and education within the workplace. In addition, regular monitoring of PM2.5 dust exposure and strict supervision of PPE compliance must be consistently enforced to prevent other potential health risks.
Bising merupakan salah satu bahaya yang memajan pekerja di aktivitas pekerjaan. Salah satu dampak dari pajanan bising yang melebihi standar (> 85 dBA) di tempat kerja adalah dampak yang tidak berhubungan dengan fungsi pendengaran (non-auditori). Tiga sub-gangguan non-auditori, seperti gangguan fisiologi, psikologi, dan komunikasi berpengaruh terhadap kinerja dan ketidaknyamanan pekerja dalam bekerja. Berbeda dengan gangguan auditori, gangguan non-auditori dapat diobservasi meskipun tingkat bising di area kerja berada di bawah 85 dBA. Batas pajanan bising di dalam ruangan adalah 55 hingga 65 dBA menurut Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 48 Tahun 2016.
PT X sebagai perusahaan manufaktur yang bergerak di sektor agroindustri berisiko terpajan bising, termasuk pekerja di ruang kendali. Hasil pengukuran bising di ruang kendali Pabrik NPK Granulasi dan Phonska PT X berada pada rentang 58,8 hingga 71,5 dBA. Tingkat bising tersebut berisiko menimbulkan gangguan non-auditori pada pekerja di ruangan, yakni operator. Oleh sebab itu, dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui gangguan non-auditori dan faktor yang mempengaruhinya pada operator di ruang kendali.
Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode cross-sectional pada 66 operator yang bekerja di ruang kendali Pabrik NPK Granulasi dan Phonska PT X pada bulan April hingga Mei 2025. Variabel dependen dan independen yang diteliti adalah gangguan non-auditori, faktor tingkat pajanan bising (tingkat bising dan durasi pajanan), faktor individu (usia, masa kerja, perilaku merokok, dan riwayat penyakit), serta faktor perilaku (penggunaan APT dan pajanan bising di luar pekerjaan).
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 92,4% responden mengalami gangguan non-auditori dengan rincian 45,5% mengalami gangguan fisiologi, 86,4% psikologi, dan 83,3% komunikasi. Hasil analisis dengan metode Mann-Whitney dan Kruskal-Wallis memperlihatkan perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap skor gangguan non-auditori berdasarkan kelompok masa kerja (p = 0,047) dan riwayat penyakit (p = 0,009); skor gangguan fisiologi berdasarkan kelompok usia (p = 0,031), masa kerja (p = 0,012), dan riwayat penyakit (p = 0,014); skor gangguan psikologi berdasarkan kelompok masa kerja (p = 0,024), riwayat penyakit (p = 0,021), dan pajanan bising di luar aktivitas pekerjaan (p = 0,047); serta skor gangguan komunikasi berdasarkan kelompok riwayat penyakit (p = 0,011). Hasil penelitian ini sejalan dengan penelitian sebelumnya, dimana gangguan non-auditori tetap dapat dialami oleh responden meski bising di bawah 85 dBA. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pengendalian, seperti memastikan tingkat pajanan bising di ruang kendali memenuhi persyaratan perundangan dan menambah bahan peredam bising di dalam desain ruang kendali.
Noise is recognized as one of the occupational hazards to which workers are frequently exposed. When noise exposure goes above the standard limit (>85 dBA), it can lead to effects that are not related to hearing, known as non-auditory effects. These effects are usually divided into three types: physiological, psychological, and communication-related. Non-auditory effects can impair work performance and contribute to discomfort in the workplace. Unlike auditory effects, non-auditory effects can be observed even when the noise level in the work area is below the health threshold. According to Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 48 Tahun 2016, the indoor noise exposure limit ranges from 55 to 65 dBA. PT X is a manufacturing company in the agroindustry sector which is at risk of noise exposure. Its workers, including those in the control rooms, are potentially exposed to indoor noise. The noise levels in the control room of the NPK Granulation and Phonska Plant at PT X are in the range from 58,8 to 71,5 dBA. Control room operators may be at risk of non-auditory effects due to indoor noise exposure that exceeds the standard. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the non-auditory effects, noise exposure levels, individual factors, and behavioral factors among control room operators at the NPK Granulation and Phonska Plant of PT X in 2025. This study was conducted using a cross-sectional method on 66 operators working in the control room of NPK Granulation and Phonska Plant at PT X from April to May 2025. Data collection was conducted from April to May 2025. The dependent and independent variables studied were non-auditory effects, noise-exposure levels (noise intensity and duration), individual factors (age, length of employment, smoking habits, medical history), and behavioral factors (use of HPD and noise exposure outside work). The results showed 92,4% of respodents experienced non-auditory effects, with 45,5% reporting physiological effects, 86,4% psychological effects, and 83,3% communication effects. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests showed significant differences in non-auditory effect scores based on length of employment (p = 0,047) and medical history (p = 0,009); in physiology effect scores based on age (p = 0,031), length of employment (p = 0,012), and medical history (p = 0,014); in psychological effect scores based on length of employment (p = 0,024), medical history (p = 0,021), and noise exposure outside of work (p = 0,047); in communication effect scores based on medical history (p = 0,011). Therefore, it is necessary to implement control measures, such as ensuring that the level of noise exposure in the control room within the regulatory limits and incorporating both sound-absorbing as well as sound-insulating materials into the control room design.
Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara Kebiasaan merokok dan pemakaian APD, gangguan fungsi paru dengan nilai p masing masing p=0.000 dan p=0.003. Sedangkan konsentrasi debu, umur, lama bekerja, riwayat penyakit dan kebiasaan olah raga tidak menunjukan hubungan yang signifikan. Hasil analisis regresi logistik dari 2(dua) variabel kebiasaan merokok dan tidak memakai APD yaitu kebiasaan merokok beresiko 5 kali mendapatkan gangguan fungsi paru dan tidak menggunakan APD beresiko 3.71 kali mendapatkan gangguan fungsi paru dibandingkan dengan yang menggunakan APD. Saran, dimasa datang sebaiknya dibuat sistem yang terintegrasi dapat menyatukan antara data pemeriksaan kesehatan pekerja, data kualitas udara di dalam lingkungan kerja setiap unit kerja sehingga analisis serta evaluasi terhadap kondisi kesehatan pekerja dapat menghasilkan kesimpulan yang lebih akurat dan pemilihan serta pemakaian APD yang tepat.
Obstructive, Restrictive and Mixed Obstructive-Restrictive Pulmonary function disturbances is a lung decreased capacity due to the accumulation of dust which causing the decline and airway blockage and the narrowing of pulmonary tract that interfere with the respiratory tract and lung tissue damage. This disease can occur to the workers in an environment polluted by chemical fumes or dust which may increase the risk of Obstructive, Restrictive and Mixed Obstructive-Restrictive pulmonary disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of dust concentration (TSP) in the working room with the Pulmonary function disturbances of the workers of PT. KS in year 2010. This study is using survey research methods which is a research carried out without an intervention to the research subjects or non experimental. This study is an analytic study that aims to explain a condition or a situation with a cross sectional survey design. The observed variables are the Dust Concentration (TSP)of the rooms, Age, length of work, smoking habits, history of pulmonary disease, exercise habits and customs of the use of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment). The type of data used are primary and secondary data, and the data collection is using questionnaires and interviews. The analysis of the data used is by univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis.
The results showed that there was a significant relationship between smoking habits and the use of PPE with lung function disturbances with a value of p respectively p = 0.000 and p = 0.003. While the dust concentration, age, length of work, medical history and exercise habits showed no significant relationship. The results of logistic regression analysis of 2 (two) variables i.e smoking and not using PPE, that is smoking habits have 5 times the risk of having lung function disturbances and do not use PPE have 3.71 times the risk of getting lung function impairment compared with ones who use PPE. Suggestion, in the future there should be an integrated system that can unify the workers' health examination data, air quality data in the working environment of each unit of work, ambient air quality data and data quality of air emissions so that the analysis and evaluation of health conditions of workers can produce more accurate conclusions for the selection and the use of proper PPE.
