Pengrajin batu bata berisiko tinggi terhadap paparan Particulate Matter (PM) yang dihasilkan dari pembakaran batu bata yang menyebabkan gangguan pernapasan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan PM dan lama paparan terhadap keluhan respirasi dan kelainan fungsi paru pada pengrajin batu bata di Aceh Besar. Metode penelitian adalah analitik observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan bulan September 2023 pada 68 responden, untuk menilai fungsi paru dengan menggunakan spirometri dan kadar PM menggunakan Air Quality Monitor. Hasil analisis data, pada kelainan fungsi paru didapatkan kelainan restriksi (47,1%), mayoritas pekerja bekerja selama >3 tahun (75%) dengan jam kerja ≥8 jam/hari (100%) dan keluhan respirasi dominan yaitu batuk (23,5%) dan sesak napas (13,2%), serta jenis pekerjaan dominan di pencetakan batu bata (67,6%) daripada pembakaran (32,4%). Indeks PM2.5 di area pengrajin batu bata tergolong sangat berbahaya (100%) dan indeks PM10 sangat tidak aman (55,6%) dan sangat berbahaya (44,4%). Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Spearman dan multivariat dengan uji regresi logistik. Kesimpulan, terdapat hubungan PM2.5 dan PM10 dengan kelainan fungsi paru, terdapat hubungan masa kerja dengan kelainan fungsi paru tetapi tidak terdapat hubungan masa kerja dengan keluhan respirasi, tidak terdapat hubungan kausalitas PM2.5, PM10 dan masa kerja dengan keluhan respirasi dan tidak terdapat hubungan kausalitas PM2.5, PM10 dan masa kerja

Brick craftsmen are at high risk of exposure to Particulate Matter (PM) produced from burning bricks which causes respiratory problems. The research aims to determine the relationship between PM and length of exposure to respiratory complaints and lung function abnormalities in brick craftsmen in Aceh Besar. The research method is observational analytic with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted in September 2023 on 68 respondents, to assess lung function using spirometry and PM levels using the Air Quality Monitor. The results of data analysis showed that lung function disorders showed restrictive disorders (47.1%), the majority of workers worked for >3 years (75%) with working hours ≥8 hours/day (100%) and the dominant respiratory complaint was coughing (23, 5%) and shortness of breath (13.2%), as well as the dominant type of work in brick molding (67.6%) rather than burning (32.4%). The PM2.5 index in the brick manufacturing area is classified as very dangerous (100%) and the PM10 index is very unsafe (55.6%) and very dangerous (44.4%). Bivariate analysis was carried out using the Spearman correlation test and multivariate analysis using the logistic regression test. In conclusion, there is a relationship between PM and lung function disorders, there is a relationship between length of exposure and lung function disorders but there is no relationship between length of exposure and respiratory complaints, there is no causal relationship between PM and work experience with respiratory complaints and there is no causal relationship between PM and work period
