Abstract:
Appropriate use of pesticides will provide many benefits for crop production. Spraying
pesticides that do not meet the rules will have many health effects on humans.
However, this risk can be prevented by providing Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE). The benefits of this study are to add experience and to know the effects of
pesticide poisoning on humans. This study aims to analyze the relationship of
pesticide poisoning with levels of cholinesterase and serum glutamic pyruviv
transaminase (SGPT) in potato farmers in Kayu Aro. This research uses descriptive
research with cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were 10 samples.
Processing data in this study using a correlation test. The results of the correlation
test on the relationship of pesticide poisoning with levels of cholinesterase and Serum
Glutamic Pyruviv Transaminase (SGPT) in potato farmers in Kayu Aro showed no
significant relationship between the relationship of cholinesterase level poisoning and
Serum Glutamic Pyruviv Transaminase (SGPT). Value p = 0.220 and r = -0.425. This
means that there is no relationship to pesticide poisoning with levels of cholinesterase
and Serum Glutamic Pyruviv Transaminase (SGPT).
