Abstract

In the production process, there are several industries that use Pb in their production process, one of which is in the battery smelting process. The explanation that the source of Pb pollution in Kec. Curug comes from battery recycling industry activities. One of the groups in society that is at risk of being affected is early adolescence which at that age is a period of rapid growth and development, both physically, psychologically and intellectually. Pb accumulation in body tissues, especially in the nerves will cause disturbances in the nervous system both structurally and functionally. It is known that it affects different parts of the brain, one of which is the cerebellum which has the function of coordinating adjustments quickly and automatically by maintaining body balance. The population of this study were 92 early adolescents in two high schools in Permata, Kec. Waterfall with a sample of 52 people. Examination of balance disorders is done with the Romberg test. This study used a cross-sectional study design with this type of observational research. In conclution, (92.3%) early teens urine contain Lead (Pb) are still below the specified Treshold Value (<50 µg/L). The emergence of complaints of the central nervous system and the balance disorder in early teens can be caused by other factors.

Abstract

Lead is a toxic and pervasive metal. Chronic exposure to low levels is responsible for significant health effects, particularly in early adolescent. Prevention remains the best option for reducing lead exposure. The objective of the present study was to determine the association between knowledge and consumption of vitamin c with lead exposure in early adolescents’ urine. This research is a quantitative study with cross sectional study design. Research subjects were 52 adolescents aged 12-16 years from Kadu Village, Curug. We examined associations of levels of knowledge and consumption of vitamin c with urine lead levels (Pb-U). We used a brief questionnaire on prevention for lead poisoning, included to measure knowledge (from Chicago Lead Knowledge Test Questionnaire) and daily intake of vitamin C (from Food Frequency Questionnaire) completed by respondents. Pb-U was measured using ICP-OES. The average urine lead levels of the early adolescents was 28,88 μg/L (median: 27,70 μg/L; CI 95% 24,85-32,90) (n=52), and Std. 14,46 μg/L. There was a significant difference between knowledge and the levels of Pb in the urine of early adolescent (p = 0,045). There was no significant difference between the consumption of vitamin c and the levels of Pb in the urine of early adolescent (p = 0,379). The hypothesis proved that the levels of knowledge affects lead levels in the urine of early adolescents. Therefore, it is suggested that government should educate the public about lead and its preventive actions and collaborate with policy makers to be more efficient.
