Abstract

Lead is a heavy metal that exists freely in air or soil. Lead can be used in the petroleum industry as an ingredient in gasoline. Lead can pollute the air through vehicle fumes. Gas station operators are a group of workers who are at risk of being exposed to lead through vehicle fumes and gasoline in the gas station area. Lead exposure in the body which accumulates in large quantities and frequently, can cause various problems in the body, one of which is interfering with liver synthesis which will inhibit the formation of one of the important proteins for the body, namely albumin. This study aims to determine the relationship between lead levels and blood albumin levels at the Gombel gas station operator. The study used a cross sectional design, with descriptive analytic observational method. Sampling of the research on 18 respondents was carried out by total sampling. Lead levels were measured using the ICP-MS method and the Agilent 7700 X device. Albumin levels were measured using the BCG method and the Arcitecht instrument. The results of the study were tested using statistical analysis of the Pearson correlation test. The results obtained a significance value of 0.021 which means a p value <0.05 which is concluded from the hypothesis that there is a relationship between blood lead levels and blood albumin levels at the Gombel gas station operator.
