This type of observational research with Cross Sectional approach using 36 samples. The research instrument in this research is Questionnaire, Personal dust sampler to measure the dust personal and Spirometer to measure lung function. Univariate and bivariate data analysis. The results showed that 55,6% of workers had impaired lung function (41,7% restrictive, 8.3% obstructive, and 5,6% mixed restrictive-obstructive) and the variables that proved to be related factors and as risk factors for lung function impairment were inhaled exposure (p = 0,001; PR = 3,000; 95% CI = 1,704-5,283) and length of service (p = 0,024; PR = 2,8; 95% CI = 1,029–7,803), variable not proven as related factor but become risk factor to incidence of lung function disorder is personal age (p= 0,229; PR= 1,696; 95% CI= 0,801-3,588), and nutritional status(p= 0,793; PR= 1,200; 95% CI= 0,654-2,201).
