N2 - The purpose of this research is to explain the correlation between workers health risks level (risk quotient/RQ) (influenced by the concentration of particulate matter 10 ?m (PM10) exposures), characteristics and patterns of individual activities (including age, sex, smoking behaviors, and working periods) to lung function disorder of workers in traditional ceramic industry. This research was a quantitative study that used a cross sectional study design and was conducted in July September 2019. Measurement of PM10 concentration in the air used High Volume Air Sampling (HVAS) with gravimetric method. The number of sample of workers was 107 workers. Interviews through questionnaires were conducted to the 107 workers. While the spirometry test (lung function measurement) by using a spirometer was conducted only to 30 sample of workers with the criteria of longest working period. There is a correlation between PM10 concentration and worker health risks level (risk quotient/RQ). However, there is no correlation between RQ, age, sex, smoking behaviors and working periods toward lung function disorder incidence.
