Pb is a heavy metal produced from the combustion of fuels that does not decompose or burn
completely. Heavy metals in the human body usually accumulate in several organs such as kidneys, liver, nails,
adipose tissue, and hair. This study aims to determine the level of lead and find out the use of masks in workshop
workers in the Sidoarjo area. This research was conducted on garage workers in the Sidoarjo region with the
number of respondents 27 people using hair samples and measuring Pb levels using the Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometer (AAS) method with supporting data in the form of questionnaires. Based on the results of
research obtained on garage workers who did not use masks, the average yield of lead (Pb) of 46.9 μg / g and the
garage workers using masks obtained a mean lead level (Pb) of 34.3 μg / g. Based on statistical analysis, the
results showed that there were no significant differences in Pb levels between respondents who used masks and
respondents who did not use masks. The conclusion obtained from the results of this study is that there were no
statistically significant differences in Pb levels between respondents who used masks and respondents who did
not use masks in garage workers in the Sidoarjo region
