Analysis of Blood Lead Levels on Street Vendors at Terminal Kampung Rambutan
Abstract
Emissions of motor vehicles containing heavy metals, one of which is lead (Pb). Street vendors belong to the community group at a high risk of exposure to motorized vehicle emissions. This study aims to analyze and assess lead levels in the blood of street vendors. The research design used was cross-sectional with a method of collecting data through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Lead measurement using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) method. The sample was determined by a purposive sampling method of 30 street vendors. The results of this study are 18 respondents (60%) with blood lead levels exceeding normal levels namely <10 μg/dL. The average blood lead level of street vendors was 22,03 μg/dL. The highest blood lead levels were 65 μg/dl with the highest daily working time of 16 hours/day. Characteristics of respondents who have an influence on blood lead (Pb) levels are age and daily work time.
