“…5 Gas is a chemical risk factor that has great potential to threaten human health. 6 One of the chemicals widely used in industry today is formaldehyde which is used for raw materials and accompanying materials of various products and other chemicals such as textiles, plywood, paints, food, carpets, insecticides, and plastics. Exposure to formaldehyde in the work environment mainly occurs through the respiratory tract.…”

Introduction:It is not yet known how Caesalpinia sappan L. extract (CSE) affects the activity of SOD and MDA levels in rats exposed to inhaled formaldehyde. Method: This true experimental study in vivo uses a randomized post-test-only control group design. The subjects were male Sprague Dawley, 2-4 months old, weight 200-300 grams, a total of 30 heads divided into 6 experimental groups. The treatment group was given CSE at doses of 0, 100, 400, and 1000 g/kg BW for 28 days, and exposed to inhaled formaldehyde for 2 weeks, and 8 hours/day. SOD and MDA were measured using the ELISA kit. Statistical analysis used Kruskall Wallis, Mann Whitney, and rank spearman tests with α= 5%. Results: The highest average SOD was in the CSE 1000 group and the lowest was in the negative control group. The highest average MDA levels were in the negative control group and the lowest was in the positive control group. The difference in SOD levels between groups with a p-value = 0.016, while the difference in MDA between groups has a p-value of 0.915. the p-value of the relationship between SOD levels and MDA levels is 0.02 (correlation coefficient = -0.422). Conclusion: Caesalpinia sappan L. extract can increase the activity of superoxide dismutase enzymes but has not been able to suppress malondialdehyde levels. There was an association of increased superoxide dismutase enzyme activity with decreased malondialdehyde levels in Sprague Dawley exposed to inhaled formaldehyde

“…The results of a descriptive cross-sectional study with the participation of employees working in domestic work environments with hot temperatures in Iran showed that excessive heat in the workplace affects employees’ performance and productivity and threatens their health ( 13 ). Moreover, heat as a physical risk factor in many occupations such as bakers can affect the reproductive system of people ( 27 , 29 ). The rate of infertility in bakers exposed to high temperatures in the bakery environments was high ( 27 ).…”

Background: Working in hot environments can cause diseases and reduce performance by upsetting the balance of physiological parameters of workers' bodies. Bakers are among the people exposed to heat stress continuously and daily. This review study aimed to investigate the effect of heat stress on bakers. Methods: In this review study, the related articles based on keywords were reviewed using “IranMedex”, “Science Direct”, “PubMed”, “Scopus”, “Web of Science”, “SID”, “Google Scholar”, and “Magiran” databases from the years 2000 to 2021. The used search terms were "Heat stress", "Heat strain", "Heat exposure", "Heat waves", "Workplace", "Baker", and "health effects". In order to extract the required data, all parts of the articles have been reviewed. Results: Out of the 16 studies reviewed in this study, 43.75% were cross-sectional, 25% were descriptive cross-sectional, and 31.25% were performed according to other study designs. In all of the studies, the WBGT index was used to assess ambient heat stress. In most studies, the mean exposure temperature was higher than the WBGT-ACGIH limit, especially among traditional bakery workers. The findings showed that exposure to thermal stress significantly affects some hematological parameters of blood, oxidative stress, heart rate, and body temperature. Conclusion: The situation of heat stress in the bakery environment is worrying in terms of health and reduced productivity of employees. Therefore, it is essential to take the necessary preventive and control measures to reduce heat stress and the resulting strain.

“…Moreover, the condition may also lead them to have a stunted baby. Thus, the work environment should be noticed because it may influence the health status of the workers and can lead to reproductive health risk for female workers 29,30,31 . The data of health profile of female workers should be measured to decrease the reproductive health risk among them, especially when they experience pregnancy 32 .…”

Abstract Background: Maternal and child morbidity and mortality remains problems in Indonesia. Based on the life cycle approach, the improvement should be done before the pregnancy which targeted to reproductive age women. One group that need attention is industrial female workers. It is crucial to know their health profile and reproductive health risk they may have. Objective: to describe the health profile of industrial female workers and their reproductive health risk in Bekasi District, Indonesia Method: We used cross sectional study design and involved 386 industrial female workers who live in Bekasi Disrict as respondents. The data collection was carried out during November 2021. We interviewed the respondents using questionnaire and measured their body mass index, total body fat, visceral fat, blood pressure, and random blood sugar. We analysed the data using univariate analysis. Result:. The respondent who categorized as obese based on body mass index (52.8%), total body fat (72%), visceral fat (9.8%). 11.9% respondents were suspected to hypertension, while 26.9% were suspected to hypertension according to diastole blood pressure measurement. The distribution of respondents who had potential risk to get diabetes was 2.3%. The anemia status of respondents was 10.4%. The result analysis shows that 88.3 % of respondents had risk to experience during pregnancy, delivery, and risk to have stunted baby because their health profile. Conclusion: The health profile of industrial female workers in this study indicated they have risk to obesity, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. This health profile placed them to the reproductive health risk, especially related to pregnancy and delivery. They also have risk to have stunted baby if they experience pregnancy. Keywords:, Female workers, industrial, health profile, reproductive health risk, Indonesia
