Hubungan Kadar Timbel dalam Darah dengan Kadar Hemoglobin dan Hematokrit pada Petugas Pintu Tol Jagorawi ( The Correlation of Lead in Blood and Haemoglobin Concentration and Hematocrit Value of Toll Booth Workers at Jagorawi)
A study on the association of lead in blood and haemoglobin and hematocritvalue as a measure of anaemia among toll booth workers at JagorawiJakarta, has been conducted. The rational of the study is that high aeriallead content has been reported by the Jakarta environmental authority andhealth literature indicates that lead is toxic to human hemopoeitic system.The toll booth workers are exposed to air pollutants in their day to day work.One hundred workers, randomly selected, participated in the study. On theHubungan Kadar Timbel dalam Darah dengan KadarHemoglobin dan Hematokrit pada Petugas Pintu TolJagorawiThe Correlation of Lead in Blood and Haemoglobin Concentration andHematocrit Value of Toll Booth Workers at JagorawiTan Malaka* Meiri Iryani**haemoglobin concentration, 12% of the study subjects were categorized asanaemia, while on hematocrit values 10% were considered as anaemia.Blood lead concentrations found in this study were 20,1 ± 1,1 (mean ± SD)µgr% and the maximum value was 22,9µgr%. The haemoglobin valueswere 15,2 ± 1,5gr% with a minimum of 9,9gr%, while the hematocrit valueswere 45,2 ± 4,4% with a minimum of 30%. All blood lead values were above10µgr% including 16 women of child-bearing age. In general, no associationwas found between blood lead and haemoglobin and hematocrit values.This discovery is in line with other studies which found that there is nomeaningful association between blood lead and anaemia when the bloodlead concentrations were below 40 µgr%.
