Abstract

Charcoal is one of the products produced from the carbonation of wood at high temperatures. Burning wood produces carbon monoxide (CO) with a concentration of 5000 ppm in one burn. Continuous exposure will result in carbon monoxide mixed with hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood to become carboxyhemoglobin (COHB). This study aims to determine carboxyhemoglobin levels in charcoal-making workers in Genjikan Village, Karanganyar City by using the conway diffusion cell method. This research is a descriptive research with quota sampling technique. Research respondents totaled 7 people. Examination of carboxyhemoglobin levels using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer with the Conway Cell Diffusion method. The results of the examination are compared with the ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist ) standard, which cannot exceed 3,5%. The results obtained COHb levels with values of 0,66%; 0,94%; 1,04%; 1,15%; and 1,20%. The absorbance of the sample was read at a wavelength of 409,5 nm and the operating time was stable at 98-115 minutes. COHb levels in the blood of the charcoal maker are still within normal limits according to ACGIH standards.
