Abstract Rubber dust produced from the destructive rubber processing production process can cause respiratory health risks for workers. This study analyzed the risk of exposure to dust that is inhaled in the working environment of industrial workers of crumb rubber production. This research used descriptive study design, to calculate exposure risk of inhalation dust with environmental health risk analysis method to know the intake of individual exposure per day based on concentration of concentration agent, activity pattern and anthropometry. The sample this research were 156 workers from 450 workers. The technique for collecting the data used simple random sampling. Crude rubber dust samples in the work environment were took 25 points based on SNI 7230 of 2009. The concentration of dust being inhaled on the workers was measured using IOM Dust Sampler brand Cat 225-79A SKC, anthropometry using scales to measure the weight and pattern of worker activity was obtained using questionnaires. The mean dose concentration was 2.15 mg/m3, weight 57.7 kg, exposure time of 10.6 hours/day, frequency of exposure 286.6 days/year, exposure time of 10.6 years, 0.064 mg/m3 intake and Risk Quotient Non Carcinogenic> 1 is RQ 1.44 as many as 65% of workers. Risk management can be done by minimizing or equalizing the intake value by rfc 0.0442 mg/m3. Top Keywords Inhaled dust, risk agent, ARKL. Top |
