  • Results: The results showed that measurement of diastolic blood pressure has an average of 88.75 mmHg. The amount of pesticide (p=0,007; r=0,455) had an influence with diastolic blood pressure, positive correlation, the strenght of correlation was enough and the amount of PPE (p=0,034; r=-0,36) had an influence with diastolic blood pressure, negative correlation, the strenght of correlation was enough
