Background: Yogyakarta is a capital city of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta,
educational, tourism and industry city. This condition probably makes citizen
increase and it can also increase urbanisation to Yogyakarta. Citizen increasing
causes the vehicle volume increased and it can make quality of air decrease. Main
source of pollutant comes from transportation and one of them is carbon
monoxide. Potter in Giwangan terminal were respondents in this study which
were in high risk to be exposed by transportation emission which had corbon
monoxide because their activity that always stay there in long time.
Objective: to prevent risk of lung capacity decreasing caused by carbon
monoxide to potters at Yogyakarta Giwangan terminal.
Method: this study was observational study with cross sectional design.
Population of this study were all potters at Yogyakarta Giwangan terminal with
sample large were 33 samples and they obtained by purposive sampling. Data
analysis used spearman correlation test and fisher�s continued logistic regression.
Result: : The results of this study showed that 30.3% of respondents had the
abnormal lung function capacity (lung problems) and 69.7% of respondents had
normal lung function capacity. The results of the bivariate analysis between the
variables of age, nutritional status, use of PPE and disease history were not
associated with lung function capacity (p-value> 0.05) and there is associated
between the period of employment, smoking habit, and exercise habits with a
capacity of lung function (p-value <0.05). Multivariate test results indicated that
COHb levels do not contribute to the capacity of lung function and smoking was
the most influencing variable to capacity of lung function with odds ratio value
(OR) as many as 16.37..
Conclusion: COHb levels do not contribute the capacity of lung function and
smoking habit was the most factor which influence than others
