| dc.description.abstract | Title: Relationship of Cabon Monoxide Levels with Carboxyhemoglobyn Levels in Street Vendor around
Traffic Light Basuki Rahmat Street and Gajah Mada Street Jember Regency
Background: Carbon monoxide exposure can cause poisoning which can form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in
the blood. This study aims to determine the relationship between air CO levels and COHb levels in street
vendors.
Method: This type of research is an observational analytic with a quantitative approach and a cross sectional
study design. Samples taken amounted to 28 street vendors. Sampling in this study using purposive sampling
technique. Testing of Carboxyhemoglobyn was carried out using spectophotometry which was carried out at the
Biochemistry Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Jember. Air sampling was carried out using
a CO Monitor tool. The analysis conducted in this study was the spearmen correlation test and Chi Square.
Result: The results of this study show that there are several points that have carbon monoxide levels above the
quality standard. Based on the results of the Chi Square test, it is known that there is a relationship between

individual smoking factors (p = 0.0001) and age (p = 0.030) with COHb levels. Unrelated variables were air
CO levels (p = 0.376) and health complaints.
Conclusion: There are still carbon monoxide levels that are above the quality standard, there is a relationship
between individual age factors and smoking with an increase in COHb levels. | en_US |
