Profil Jumlah Sel Darah Putih (Leukocyte) Pada Tenaga Kerja Pengrajin Batik Yang Terpapar Parafin

Abstract

One of the processes in making batik is sticking wax using batik wax raw material. Batik wax containing paraffin will produce smoke when heated. This smoke contains various pollutants, namely CO, NO2, SO2, CO2, HC, H2S, and particles which have many negative impacts. Smoke generated from melting batik wax will be inhaled directly by workers who can irritate the respiratory tract, this if it occurs in the long run will cause damage that will cause an inflammatory reaction. Inflammatory reactions caused will increase the number of leukocytes. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the number of leukocytes in batik craftsmen. This type of research is descriptive with saturated sampling technique in 20 batik craftsmen at PT Batik Semarang 16. The sample used is venous blood cubiti to then measure the absolute leukocyte count. The leukocyte examination method in this study uses dilution and is read using a Neubauer Improved calculation chamber. Pelitian results obtained 40% batik has an average total number of normal leukocytes and 60% above normal (mild leukocytosis). The older and the longer the working period the higher the total number of leukocytes. Obtained 100% batik not wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). Batik makers are advised to wear PPE when doing batik work.
