Content Overview of Workers Cholinesterase Enzyme at PT. Great Giant Pineapple Plantation, Kabupaten East Lampung

Blood cholinesterase levels are the number of active cholinesterase enzymes in blood plasma and red blood cells. Early detection of pesticide poisoning is achieved by checking the cholinesterase enzyme in the blood. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the level of the enzyme cholinesterase in plantation workers of PT. Great Giant Pineapple, East Lampung Regency and to find out the percentages by sex and age of workers. This study design was cross-sectional with a sample of 599 workers. The variable of this study is the level of the cholinesterase enzyme. Measuring instruments of this study are secondary data from blood tests and secondary data related to age and sex. The results of this study found that the number who took the examination was 599 workers. The frequency distribution of the cholinesterase enzyme was 4 workers (5.6%) for the low cholinesterase enzyme activity category while 595 workers (94.4%) were for the normal cholinesterase enzyme activity category. Pesticides are the last choice used after the method of ‘back to nature’ was proclaimed by the Ministry of Health in 2000, which is to maintain predatory animals in pest control, then the management has also to conduct periodic checks related to the level of the enzyme cholinesterase to workers associated with the use of pesticides.
