Abstract
Lead (Pb) as heavy metal has been used as an additive in gasoline. Pb in the form of tetra ethyl lead (Pb2 (C2H5) 4) which helps the combustion process on the vehicle engine so that the engine sound becomes smoother and faster. Pb on fuel has a negative impact on the surrounding environment including humans. When burning in a vehicle engine, Pb is released into the air along with vehicle smoke. The compound released has a negative impact on health. The first of chronic Pb poisoning before reaching the target organ is the presence of haemoglobin synthesis disorder so that the haemoglobin level decreases. Anemic disorders will occur if the Pb content is more than 70 ug / dl or equal to 0.7 ppm. In connection with the negative effects of Pb in gasoline, it is very important to detect and estimate the frequency of Pb levels in the blood of fuel filling workers who make direct contact with fuel.: As many as 11 fuel filling workers and 2 administrative employees became respondents and controls in this study. The inclusion criteria were the sex of men and women aged 20-40 years, and the exclusion criteria were workers who were not respondents available. Respondents filled out the questioner and continued the interview to find out their medical history, then taking blood to be analyzed. Determination of sampling points based on purposive sampling method with the criteria of the Fuel Filling Station is in a crowded area of the vehicle and operates for 24 hours. The results of blood analysis using SSA Shimadzu 6300 showed Pb level <2.995 ng / nl. This proves that Pb is not found in the blood of the respondent. No detection of Pb in the blood because the respondent was exposed to Pb in a short period of time, the use of safety equipment while working, and an indication of the low levels of Pb in motor vehicle fuel. Not detecting lead in the respondent's blood does not mean ignoring the presence of lead in the fuel. It is very important to check the lead content regularly on all gas station workers due to the risk of lead exposure to health.
