Relationship between Duration of Sand Dust Exposure and Symptoms of Respiratory Disorders in Sand Mine Workers of Batukuda Village, Mancak District
Abstract
Respiratory symptoms are conditions that are felt to indicate disruption of airflow due to problems in the oxygen binding process or instability of gas exchange in the circulation which can describe an occupational lung disease. Cases of occupational lung disease are still common among mine workers in the world, especially in developing countries. Exposure to sand dust in sand mines can cause symptoms of respiratory disorders. This study discusses the relationship between the duration of exposure to sand dust and symptoms of respiratory disorders in sand mine workers in Batukuda Village, Mancak District. This study included analytic observational research with a cross-sectional study design approach and convenience sampling technique with the aim of evaluating the relationship between the duration of exposure to sand dust as an independent variable with symptoms of respiratory disorders as the dependent variable. he proportion who experienced symptoms of respiratory problems in sand mining workers in Batukuda Village was 86.6%. Most of the sand mine workers in Batukuda Village have a duration of sand dust exposure ≤8 hours/day (59.7%). The proportion of most respondents aged <30 years (52.2%), abnormal BMI (50.7%), did not use PPE while working (82.1%), had a smoking habit (92.5%), and a work period <5 years (71.6%). There is no significant relationship between the duration of exposure to sand dust and symptoms of respiratory disorders in sand mine workers in Batukuda Village, Mancak District (p =0.785). Significant results were shown in the relationship between smoking habits (p =0.002) and the use of PPE masks (p =0.002).
