Abstract

Pesticides are chemical substances that are used to kill or control pests. Farmers are susceptible to pesticide exposure. Farmers who work use pesticides but do not use proper personal protective equipment. Pesticides can enter the body through the skin, respiratory tract and mouth. Pesticides can cause cholinesterase enzyme levels to drop and poisoning. This literature study aims to determine the effect of using personal protective equipment on the levels of the cholinesterase enzyme in the blood of farmers using pesticides. This literature study research uses descriptive analysis method sourced from text books, theses and research journals with a span of the last 10 years. Data taken with the minimum criteria for the use of PPE. The data obtained is then processed and described in the results table. Data were analyzed descriptively in order to get a new conclusion. The results showed that there was an effect between the use of personal protective equipment on the levels of the cholinesterase enzyme. The results of statistical tests with ρ-value = 0.004; 0.047; 0.035; 0,000; 0.0017 showed that the results showed a relationship between the use of personal protective equipment and the cholinesterase enzyme levels in farmers. Research by Kurniawan (2009) with ρ-value = 0.170 shows there is no relationship. The use of personal protective equipment can minimize the entry of pesticides through the respiratory tract, skin and mouth. The more incomplete PPE the farmers use, the higher the probability of pesticide poisoning due to the decrease in the cholinesterase enzyme in the blood
