AbstractBackground:Several studies with different results have been performed regarding cement dust exposure and its pathogenic outcomes during the previous years. This study aims to combine these results to obtain a reliable estimate of the effect of exposure to cement dust.Methods:PubMed and other data banks were searched to identify required electronic articles. The search was extended interviewing with relevant experts and research centers. Point and pooled estimates of outcome with 95% confidence intervals were estimated.Results:Participants were 5371 exposed and 2650 unexposed persons. Total mean differences (95% confidence intervals) were estimated as of −0.48 (−0.71 to −0.25) L for forced vital capacity (FVC), −0.7 (−0.92 to −0.47) L for forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), −0.43 (−0.68 to −0.19) L for FEV1/FVC%, −0.73 (−1.15 to −0.30) L/min for PEFR and −0.36 (−0.51 to −0.21) L/s for FEF25-75.Conclusion:Our meta-analysis showed that cement dust has significant impact on lung function and reduces the indicators of FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEFR and FEF25-75.

Occupational Settings

Regarding the widely distribution of respiratory exposure hazards in occupational settings, workers have an increased risk for chronic lung diseases. For assessing the quality of life and lung function in workers exposed to chemicals and dust, St George�s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and spirometry were performed among 40 patients, admitted in Occupational Clinic Department of Colentina Hospital, Bucharest, Romania, during February, 2017. SGRQ showed different predictors for patients according to their occupational exposure and total symptoms score correlated better with decreased spirometric parameters in defining lung function deterioration. Quality of life is earlier affected than lung function deterioration and emphasises the need of more sensitive methods for an earlier identification and better evaluation of respiratory hazards in different workplaces.

Positive Effect

One of the vital organs in humans is the lungs. Disorders that occur in the lungs will make the body's metabolism unbalanced and can reduce the quality of the human body. Pulmonary function disorders do not only occur in developed countries but in developing countries such as Indonesia. Lung function disorders can be caused by occupations with high dust exposure such as the Garment Industry.The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of work tenure, length of exposure to symptoms of lung function disorders in garment workers in UD Surabaya, Jember Regency. The data used are primary data obtained from questionnaires of 108 worker respondents. The analysis tool uses regression of weight techniques using AMOS software. The results of instrument testing conclude that all variables are valid and reliable as data collection tools. The results of data analysis indicate that: 1) tenure has a positive effect on symptoms of lung function disorders in garment workers. 2) the length of exposure has a positive effect on symptoms of lung function disorders in garment workers. 3) Most of UD garment workers. Surabaya, Jember Regency has or is experiencing symptoms of lung function disorders in the form of coughing and chest tightness / breathing. Keywords: Lung function disorders, working period, length of exposure.
