| Popis: | Background: Iron dust is one of the many irritant substances present in the environment and acts as a pollutant in the air. Exposure to iron dust substances in the air is thought to result in disruption of nasal mucociliary transport when inhaled. PT. Gunung Gahapi Sakti Medan is one of the companies engaged in iron smelting by employing quite a lot of workers.Objective: To know the relation of exposure to iron dust to the disruption of nasal mucociliary transport time at factory workers PT. Gunung Gahapi Sakti.Method: The type of research conducted is an analytical study with cross sectional study design (crossectional study).Results: Of 322 people, a total of 97 workers were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. 18-28 years of age have more nasal mucociliary transport time ≤ 17 minutes, while employees aged 29-39 years and 40-50 years have a nasal mucosiliar transport time> 25 minutes. Women have a nasal mucociliary transport time ≤ 17 minutes, while male employees have mucociliary transport time of the nose> 17 minutes. The duration of 1-10 years has a mucociliary transport time of the nose ≤ 17 minutes, whereas those who have worked 11-20 years l have time Nasal mucociliary transport> 17 minutes. Workers on close exposure have a mucociliary transport time> 17 min, while exposure has a mucociliary transport time ≤ 17 minConclusions: The nasal mucociliary transport time of employees is prolonged or decelerated with increasing age and duration, and the mucociliary transport time of the nose in male employees is longer than in women. The workplace (location of exposure) also significantly affects the mucociliary transport of the nose. |
