ABSTRACTDust exposure received by workers can affect workers’s pulmonary function and health condition affected by many factors. This observation conducted on construction. The purpose of this research was identify description about pulmonary function and smoking habit at construction workers. Researcher used cross sectional study. The sample of this research was total population of finishing workers as much as 18 workers who doing construction project in Surabaya . Measurement of dust concentration conducted on three poin, by source of the dust, where workers are working and the outmost point. Research used questionnaires, measurement and inspection. The result of pulmonary function showed that six workers had lung function disorder. Pulmonary function measurement at workers used FEV1 and FVC to be the parameter. The result of measurement on point A is 1.6865 mg/m3, on point B is 1.3227 mg/m3 and on point C is 1.0625 mg/m3. Many workers complained that they felt cough in the morning and suffered about eyes irritation. Based on the result of pulmonary function measurement, the conclution is 4 workers had light obstruction and 2 workers had light restriction. Based on measurement, the average of total dust in the project area is 1.3425 mg/m3. Lung function disorder caused by smoking habit. The workers could stop smoking habit and reduce amount.Keywords: pulmonary function, dust, smoking, construction

Welding is an activity that has a major risk for lung function disorders resulting from gas and fumes generated. The general objective of this study was to analyze the overview of fumes exposure, individual characteristics with impaired lung function welding workers in PT. PAL INDONESIA (Persero). The type of this research is an observational study and is descriptive with cross sectional approach. The sample used the total population of the labor of welding PT. PAL INDONESIA (Persero). Measuring levels of fumes using HVDS, measurements were performed on a 4 point welding workshop. Examining of lung function is done by using a spirometer. And the risk factor data obtained from questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study showed levels of fumes that exceed 2 NAB contained in welding workshop From the results of pulmonary function measurement, there are three workers with impaired lung function by the category of mild obstruction and restriction. Characteristics of individuals who have an influence on the occurrence of pulmonary function disorders worker is of masks used by workers. Welding workers should wear masks that have been provided by PT. PAL INDONESIA. PT. PAL INDONESIA should undertake an obligation to conduct periodic health for workers.

Abstract Introduction: Stroke is a neurological disorder considered the second major cause of death worldwide, leading to severe respiratory dysfunctions, evident in reduced respiratory muscle strength and the presence of muscle imbalances that directly affect the pulmonary mechanics of these patients. Objective: Evaluate the possible metric properties of a biomedical system, the IBI. Method: the study was conducted with 25 hemiparetic stroke patients of both sexes, using a manovacuometer, peak flow, and SG IBI for respiratory measurements. Results: Moderate to strong correlations were observed between the IBI biomedical system and peak flow and manovacuometer measurements, which were smaller than the predicted values. Conclusion: The results suggest that the IBI biomedical system is potentially valid for pulmonary function measurement, sensitive to air flow variations and generates maximum respiratory pressure. As such, it is an important resource for prescribing intensity and controlling progression in pulmonary rehabilitation.
