Abstract

Pb is used as a dye pigment in paints on an industrial scale. Pb in the human body can accumulate in the hair. Concentration Pb in hair correlate with the amount of heavy metals absorbed by the body. Concentration Pb accumulated in the body can increase blood pressure which then becomes hypertension. Purpose of this research to find out a correlation of the Pb concetration in hair to the incidence of hypertension in painting workers at PT. ATMI Surakarta. The research is an analytic observational, to find out how and why health phenomena occur through statistical correlation analysis. The subjects of this research were 20 painters PT.ATMI. Samples were taken by purposive sampling, each sample was selected according to the characteristics of the respondents with inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. The results of the measurement lead concentration in 20 respondents still met the requirements according to the KEMENKES RI Number 1406/MENKES/SK/IX/2002 to the Ministry of health regarding the standart for examining lead levels in human biomarker specimens, which is < 10 µg/g. In measuring blood pressure, 5 respondents had hypertension and 15 had normal blood pressure. Testing the MC-Nemar hypothesis obtained a significance value (p) of 0.063, greater than 0.05. Results of this study that there was no correlation between lead (Pb) concentration in hair and hypertension in PT. ATMI Surakarta.
