“…Inhalation rate is the volume of air contaminated with NH3 and H2S gases that enter the body of adult category workers using the US-EPA default value of 0.83 m 3 /hour. Based on observations about the habits of workers in wearing masks, it can be seen that all workers have a habit of not wearing masks, this can affect the amount of NH3 and H2S gases that enter the respiratory tract and cause respiratory problems [15].…”

NH3 and H2S gases was produced from the decomposition process of the rest of the fur, meat and pieces of skin that can pose a risk to the health of workers. The aims of the study were analyze and determine the risk of exposure to NH3 and H2S gases on the health of workers in the Small Industrial Environment (LIK) of Magetan Regency. The design of this research was descriptive quantitative which the aim was to describe an event that occurs in numerical and narrative form. The study used a cross sectional time approach design and the ARKL approach (Environmental Health Risk Analysis) with a sample of 13 workers. Air sampling was carried out at one location where the leather tanning process was carried out at the fleshing stage. The data analysis method used risk analysis to determine the risk characterization of workers in the Small Industrial Environment (LIK) Magetan. Based on the ARKL guidelines, the amount of risk said to be "safe" if the RQ value 1, and the amount of risk said to be "unsafe" if the RQ value > 1. The results showed that the concentration of NH3 and H2S gases was still below the NAV based on the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Number PER.13/MEN/X/2018, namely 25 ppm and 1 ppm. The ARKL calculation used the minimum and maximum values for measuring NH3 and H2S gas concentrations with reference concentrations (RfC) values of 0.5 mg/kg/day and 0.002 mg/kg/day. RQ values for workers for NH3 and H2S gas concentrations for all RQ concentrations < 1 safe for workers. The conclusion is that the level of risk of exposure to NH3 and H2S gas in the Small Industry Environment (LIK) of Magetan Regency is safe for workers. The suggestion for the agency was to manage the place for the disposal of the rest of the meat, fur, and fresh skin so that it was not accumulate and not produce excessive odors. Workers were also advised to wear masks as personal protective equipment.
