Respiratory Complaints

Impacts of dust exposure may disturb working enjoymeny and in longer priod may causedisturbances on respiratory passages and pulmonary functions. In addition to dust exposure,respiratory complaints may be caused by other factors relating to the workers, such as age,length of occupation that may explain how long was a worker was exposed to dust, smokinghabit and their habit in wearing protective masks to protect their respiration. The purposes ofthis research was to describe level of dust concentration and complaints relating to workers'respiration. The study also engaged in the assessment of controlling efforts that includetechnical, administrative controls and the use self-protective devicesThis was a descriptive study using a cross sectional approach. Data collection was doneby observation, interviews and measurements. Population under study was the entire workerswho worked at warehouses and raw material sorting division. The number of the sample wasthe total of population of workers that amounted to 30 workers. Data were analyzeddescriptively using cross tabulation which explained the object under study.Result of the study indicated that the dust level measured from 30 samples was incompliance to the TLV (57%) that was 0.15 mg/m3 • Most of workers (63%) aged ~ 40 yearsold. Most of workers (63%) have smoking habit. Most of worker (93%) did not wear maskswhile working. Most of the workers (60%) have moderate complaint. The efforts in controllingthe issue was not satisfactory. Respiration complaints more likely associated to length ofoccupation, smoking habit, and utilization of protective masks.The study suggested to install Local Exhaust Ventilation to reduce dust level in theworkplace; the company was encouraged to make cooperation with related institutions inconducting OSH or K3 training, and the company should give rigid penalties against workerswho wear their PPD reluctantly.Keywords : Dust level, respiration complaint, Hobab Perkasa

Abstract The US electronics recycling industry has introduced a novel mobile electronic waste (e-waste) shredding truck service to address increasing needs for secure data destruction of e-waste. These trucks can shred small electronics with data security concerns at remote locations for a wide variety of clients. Shredding jobs usually involve hand-feeding electronic waste (e-waste) for 4–10 h day−1, 1–5 days. Shredding of e-waste has been documented as a source of high metal exposures, especially lead and cadmium. However, no studies have been done to assess exposures on mobile e-waste shredding trucks. We conducted a pilot cross-sectional exposure assessment on a mobile e-waste shredding truck performing a 65-min shredding job (truck back door open and no local exhaust ventilation) in the Greater Boston area in 2019. We collected area air and surface wipe samples for metals along with real-time particulate measurements from different locations. The highest metal air concentrations (e.g. 2.9 µg-lead m−3) were found next and 1.8 m away from the shredder operator inside the semi-trailer. Metal surface contamination was highest near the shredder (e.g. 1190 µg-lead 100 cm−2) and extended to other parts of the truck. Near the shredder, the concentration of ultrafine particles was up to 250 000 particles cm−3 and particulate matter 2.5 mm or less in diameter (PM2.5) was up to 171 µg m−3, and neither returned to background levels after 40 min of inactivity. A diesel-electric generator was used to power the shredder and could have contributed to some of the particulate emissions. We found that mobile e-waste shredding trucks are a source of metals and particulates emissions. We recommend the industry adopts better controls for shredding inside trucks, such as local exhaust ventilation with proper filtration and use of personal protective equipment, to protect workers’ health and the environment.

Introduction: Occupational disease is a problem due to the dangers that exist in the work environment. One of the dangers is dust. Dust, either organic or inorganic, is a chemical agent that can cause impairment in the human respiratory tract. As a side result of the processing process in coal mining, coal dust is one example of the danger in the working environment. The flying dust can enter the worker’s respiratory tract and cause adverse effects, which should be noted. This study aims to analyze coal dust exposure to pulmonary physiology status and explore what risk factors cause a decline in pulmonary physiology status. Discussion: This study used the literature review method by using research data with the same topic as secondary data. The selected research was a cross-sectional design. The literature review results showed that the inclusion of coal dust was influenced by several variables, such as dust content, age, employment, smoking habits, and the use of PPE. Conclusion: The most widely found variable has a relationship with the pulmonary physiology status is a variable of coal dust levels, age, length of work, and smoking habit.
