The fertilizer industry produces several pollutants such as ammonia gas, urea dust, smoke, particulates. Workers are exposed to air inhalation at work, entering the respiratory system, which is the main toxic entry point. The risk of workers being exposed to lung disease due to inhalation of dust/ smoke/ harmful gases in the work environment. It will increase if workers do not comply with protecting themselves from risk factors and potential accompanying factors such as smoking habits excessive body mass index. Lung ventilation is the entry and exit of air between the atmosphere and the pulmonary alveoli. This study aimed to determine the correlation between body mass index, smoking habits, and hemoglobin levels with vital lung capacity to P.T. Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang employees. The design of this study is a cross-section. The research was conducted at P.T. Pupuk Sriwidjaja for 30 days. The research sample was 78 employees of the ammonia unit. Data analysis found a significant correlation between vital lung capacity with body mass index (p-value = 0.009), and hemoglobin levels (p-value = 0.039). There was no significant correlation between smoking habits and vital lung capacity values (p-value = 0.449). It can be concluded that body mass index, smoking habits, and hemoglobin levels correlate with vital lung capacity.

Pain mechanism is an integrated process of sensory input, emotional and cognitive systems. The body responds to pain as a feeling of discomfort. Menstrual pain is caused by increased uterine contractions and angiospasm triggered by prostaglandins F2 and E2. This study aims to determine how yoga exercises reduce menstrual pain in high school students. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a comparison group (pre and post-test with control group design). The study was conducted at SMA Negeri 6 Palembang for 30 days, from October 10 to November 10, 2021. The study sample was all class XI students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of 50 respondents. The homogeneity of the respondents' characteristics was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Description analysis to determine the mean and standard deviation. The bivariate test used was Paired t-test with a significance degree of 0.05. From the results, it was found that the average score of menstrual pain was significantly decreased in the treatment group compared to the control group, with a p-value of 0.002. This study concludes that yoga exercise affects reducing menstrual pain.
