The increasing of Interleukin 6 and Superoxide Dismutase 3 nasal wash in textile industry workers exposed by occupational air pollutant

Abstract

Objectives: To know if the occupational air pollution affects the increasing of IL-6 and SOD-3 level on nasal wash. Methods: this study used an anal. observational design with cross-sectional method. The nasal wash's sample on the 1.5ml eppendorf tubes will be examined using ELISA method to determine the IL-6 and SOD-3 level. The occupational air pollution indicators will be measured by Envilab Semarang. Findings : The measurements of direct PM10 and PM2.5 in dyeing and sizing area were higher than the regulatory limit. There was a significant difference in the IL-6 level in dyeing and sizing area (p=0,010). There was no significant difference in the SOD-3 level in dyeing and sizing area (p=0,443). There was a pos., moderate and significant correlation between IL-6 and SOD-3 in dyeing and sizing area (r=0.320). Conclusion: The study concluded that the occupational air pollution especially the PM10 and PM2.5 affects the IL-6 and SOD-3 level in the textile industry workers' nasal wash. There is a significant correlation between the IL-6 and SOD-3 level in textile industry workers at dyeing and sizing area. There is a difference in the IL-6 level in dyeing and sizing area. But there is no significant in the SOD-3 level in dyeing and sizing area. The higher occupational air pollution inhaled will be compensated with the higher expression of IL-6 and SOD-3. The higher exposure of PM2.5 in the dyeing area results in the higher level of IL-6 and SOD-3.
