Abstract

Benzene is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. Benzene evaporates very quickly in air and is easily soluble in water and is highly flammable. Benzene is present in the air, water and soil. Petroleum industry processes are one of the main sources of benzene in the environment. The process of the petroleum industry is one of the major sources of benzene in the environment. Benzene levels in the air are further increased by emissions from burning coal and oil, vehicle exhaust, and evaporation from gas stations. Cigarette smoke is another source of benzene in the air, especially indoors. One way to detect benzene in the body is to test for sphenylmercapturic acid (sPMA) in the urine. The purpose of this study was to use urine sPMA levels to determine the relationship between benzene exposure and the smoking habits of workers at the Surabaya fuel terminal. This study used a cross-section study design with a sample of 50 Surabaya fuel terminal workers. The sample uses urine when it is accommodated at the end of the shift, the urine sPMA level is checked at Prodia IndTox Cikarang Laboratory. Results of statistical tests using SPSS, correlation tests using nonparametric tests, that is, Spearman correlation tests. The results of statistical tests with SPSS, correlation tests using a non-parametric test, namely with the Spearman correlation test where the significance value for sPMA levels on the cigarette status of fuel terminal workers in Surabaya was 0.079 (p > 0.05) which means that there is no relationship between benzene exposure and the smoking habits of fuel terminal workers in Surabaya.
