Abstract

Occupational exposure to benzene from fuel oil in workshop motorcycle workshop causes several health effects, depending upon the level and duration of exposure. Analysis of blood is important to access the status of worker’ health. The study aimed to assess the gather basic information required for protecting workers’ health and improve working conditions in the works sites by investigating the ESR levels. A comparative cross-sectional study conducted in Surabaya City, East Java-Indonesia, which involved 100 workers. The occupational data collected using a structured questionnaire while blood analysis parameters measured with an automated hematology analyzer.   The result showed that leukocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit values (HCT), platelet, MCV, RDW, eosinophil, basophils, neutrophil rods, neutrophil segment, lymphocyte, monocytes were in normal value. Whereas, MCH, MCHC, ESR has shown in abnormal value as average 24.5 pg, 29.18 g/dL and 8.21 mm/h, respectively. Those value, especially in ESR value indicated the increasing concentration plasma viscosity. This is may cause by inflammation in the workers’ body. To prevent the hazardous effect of benzene exposure, occupational health should be implemented for workers in order to protect them from exposure to benzene.
摩托车车间工人接触苯后红细胞沉降率的评价
摩托车车间燃料油中苯的职业性接触会对健康产生若干影响,这取决于接触的程度和持续时间。血液分析对于了解工人的健康状况很重要。本研究旨在通过调查ESR水平,评估收集保护工人健康和改善工地工作条件所需的基本信息。在印度尼西亚东爪哇泗水市进行了一项比较横断面研究,涉及100名工人。使用结构化问卷收集职业数据,同时使用自动化血液学分析仪测量血液分析参数。结果显示:白细胞、红细胞、血红蛋白(HGB)、红细胞压积值(HCT)、血小板、MCV、RDW、嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞、中性粒细胞棒、中性粒细胞节段、淋巴细胞、单核细胞均正常。而MCH、MCHC、ESR的异常值平均分别为24.5 pg、29.18 g/dL和8.21 mm/h。这些值,尤其是ESR值表明血浆黏度浓度增加。这可能是由工人体内的炎症引起的。为了防止苯暴露的有害影响,应对工人实施职业健康,以保护他们免受苯暴露的影响。
