Contact dermatitis is considered trivial for some people. There are many environmental factors could be the main factors causing contact dermatitis on salted-fish processor in Pengolahan Hasil Perikanan (PHPT) or Fishery Processing Area of Muara Angke such as water, temperature, fish, and humidity. These were due to the geographical location of the coastal determine the environmental factors which related to the contact dermatitis suspected on salted-fish processor in the PHPT Muara Angke area. The study was analytic observational with cross sectional design, with subjects were 112 samples. Results showed that 53,6% of salted-fish processor were suspected contact dermatitis. The suspected contact dermatitis increased by poor length of contact (OR= 9.42, 95% CI= 2.91 to 30.53, p=0,000), poor frequency of contact (OR= 4.70, 95% CI= 1.10 to 20.20, p=0,000), and bad temperature (OR= 3.74, 95% CI= 1.34 to 10.45, p=0,003). The length of contact can makes the lack of permeability of the skin, so the material of irritant can infiltrate properly. To prevent contact dermatitis the distribution of clean water must be comprehensive and do as the standards. The building of the processing room has to protect the worker from the heat temperature. Personal hygiene and personal protective must be increase to protect the worker from disease and to keep the quality of the product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
