Hubungan Lama Paparan Polutan Udara dengan Kadar MCV pada Karyawan SPBU di Wilayah Kabupaten Blitar.

Pollutants are a mixture of substances in the air both intentionally and naturally that can cause air quality to be down so as to disrupt and harm the living things or other objects around it. An increase in the number of motor vehicles increases air pollution and fuel consumption. Fuel oil contains benzene, toluene, xylenses, ethylene, total petroleum hydrocarbon, and polycuclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Fueling operators at gas stations have a high risk of exposure to benzene through inhalation. Exposure to benzene will affect bone marrow damage that causes disruption of blood cell production. The aim of this research is to know the relation between air pollutant (benzene) and MCV at SPBU employee in Blitar District. The research method used Cross Sectional. The subjects of the research are the employees of the fuel filler perator with Purposive Sampling technique of 30 respondents. Full blood collection to determine MCV levels. The results showed no significant correlation between air pollutant exposure time with MCV content with p-value = 0,339 (p > 0,05) and x-rho = -0.181. This research was conducted at gas station with minimal bias (gas station which is located in environment area with many trees and a bit of building around it). Suggestions for further research are examined the level of benzene concentration in the air to determine the level of air pollution.
