Abstract

Abstract. Many factors affect the impaired lung function capacity. One of the pollutants in the air that is dangerous is the level of dust. Open the irritation of the upper respiratory tract. This study aims to look at the correlation of dust with lung function capacity in rice milling workers. The study was conducted at rice milling workers in Sub District Kerjo. This study uses an observational design with a cross-sectional design. The population of workers was 50 people was taken using a total sampling technique. dust measurement based on SNI 16-7058-2004 uses a high volume sampler. Measurement of lung function capacity using spirometry. Other variables were assessed using a questionnaire and a checklist sheet to determine the characteristics of the study respondents. The results showed significant levels of environmental dust, work area and use of significant masks with impaired lung function capacity with p-values = 0.000 and r= 0,493. The use of masks during work must be a must for workers to protect from dust exposure which generally comes from grain dust.
