Masons are regularly exposed to air pollution in the workplace The pollution exposure received by them is a risk factor for respiratory problems. Most of the masons had insufficient knowledge that is very important for the management of a person's illness. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship of knowledge on respiratory disorders with lung function in masons in east surabaya. This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional design with a purposive method.The research was conducted from April to July 2019 in the East Surabaya area. The variables that will be observed in this study are the level of knowledge of risk factors, symptoms, and treatment and therapy regarding respiratory disorders. In this study, there were 158 respondents consisting of 79 groups with impaired lung function and 79 groups without lung function disorders. Most of the level of knowledge of both groups was good in risk factors and treatment of respiratory disease, but instead on the symptoms regarding respiratory disease. The research showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge about risk factors for respiratory disease (p(0.223)<0.05) and lung function, but there was no difference in knowledge about symptoms (p(0.745)<0.05) and treatment (p(0.741)<0.05) respiratory disease with pulmonary function. Therefore, it was necessary to plan further educational programs in increasing masons' knowledge of respiratory symptoms so that they could catch respiratory diseases earlier.

The process of limestone mining will resulted in limestone dust on the working environment. This can lead to inhalation of the limestone dust which can cause respiratory problems.The type of the research was analytic with Cross Sectional design. The population was all workers in Bukit Kapur Jaddih, Parseh Village, Socah District; 52 workers. The sample was 45 workers taken by simple random sampling technique. The independent variable was compliance to use mask protective equipment, while the dependent variable was respiratory disorders. The data was collected by questionnaires and observation physical observation.  The data was analyzed using Lambda test, with α= 0.05.The results of the research showed that workers who did not use PPE (masks) were 35 workers (77.8%), who experienced respiratory problems were  39 workers (86.7%), and 6 workers (13.3%) did not experience respiratory problems. The lambda test results p Value of 0.073>α (0.05) meant that H0 was accepted and H1 was rejected. The compliance to use personal protective equipment (masks) and the presence of respiratory problems showed no correlation. For this reason, workers must continue to use masks while working to protect themselves from the effects of occupational breathing (lime dust).

One of the factors that can affect someone experiencing complaints of respiratory distress is the length of time someone is exposed to a substance or objects in the work environment. Scavengers are one of the workers who are directly exposed to dangerous odors or gases that can cause complaints of respiratory problems. This study aims to determine the relationship of work duration with complaints of respiratory disorders in scavengers in Sei Giling Landfill in Tebing Tinggi City. This type of research is quantitative research with an analytic survey approach, using a cross sectional research design. This study uses a total sampling technique of 50 scavengers. Analysis of the data used is the Chi Square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between length of work (p value = 0.003) with complaints of respiratory disorders. Expected to scavengers to reduce exposure time at landfill and use personal protective equipment while in landfill.

The number of samples was 148 respondents (135 with respiratory disorder and 13 without respiratory disorder). The results of this study found the most common risk factor was air pollution exposure. In 145 respondents (97.97%), the average lung function was 52.56%. The most frequent early symptom was dyspnea with percentage of 7.43% and average lung function value of 26.20%. Air pollution was the most common risk factor and dyspnea was the most common early symptom in pedicab drivers with respiratory disorders in Surabaya.

Background Anemia in pregnancy is known to be a potential hazard to both mother and baby. The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in Indonesian pregnant women is 50.5%. In West Kalimantan from 2014 to 2016 there was an increase in anemia reaching 5.74%. Knowledge is one of the factors in the formation of health behavior. Pregnant women are given iron (fe) added tablets every day during pregnancy or at least 90 tablets. Purpose The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in the Tanjung Hulu Public Health Center, Pontianak City in 2021. Methods This study used a descriptive analytic research design with a cross sectional design approach with a sample of 30 respondents. Result Based on the univariate analysis, it was found that 12 (40%) pregnant women had good knowledge and 12 (40%) pregnant women had sufficient knowledge and only 6 people (20%) had less knowledge about anemia. A total of 26 (86.7%) were obedient in consuming Fe tablets and only 4 (13.3%) pregnant women were not compliant in taking FE tablets. The results of bivariate analysis with rank spaerment correlation found that the significance value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.008. Conclusion There is a relationship between the level of knowledge of pregnant women about anemia with adherence to taking FE tablets

Organic fertilizer industry in Nganjuk uses manure as basic materials of production. Its process produced particulate matter 2,5 (PM2,5) in the form of dust and smoke. PM2,5 can be inhaled and be retained until alveoli, so it is potentially caused lung function impairment to the workers. The objective of this research was to analyzed the level of PM2,5 and lung function of organic fertilizer industry workers in Nganjuk. The type of this research was observasional descriptive quantitative with cross sectional design. The research sample was using total population of 10 production workers. The result of this research showed that the level of PM2,5 inhaled which exceeded Threshold Limit Value (TLV) or > 3 mg/m3 were on 2 workers who worked on drying and packing process. The average of PM2,5  environment level which exceeded TLV were on manufacturing of granuls, heating and packing process area. Workers who had lung function impairment were 4 workers (40%). Lung function impairment more likely found in workers with exposure of PM2,5 inhaled≤ 3 mg/m3, has age 41 – 60 years, worked period < 5 years, always using cloth as respiratory protective equipment, and had worked in the other places either direct or indirect exposure of dust. The conclusion of this research is production workers of organic fertilizer industry in Nganjuk has risk of lung function impairment. Suggestions for the owner of organic fertilizer industry in Nganjuk are to install natural and unnatural ventilations and to provide air purifying respirators.
