The body can be exposed to arsenic through water, air, food, and soil including the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Based on the above problems, researchers are interested in conducting research on the profile of heavy metal levels of arsenic in the blood of farmers who use chemical pesticides in Baki Pandeyan Village, Sukoharjo. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of heavy metal arsenic in the blood of farmers and to determine whether the level of arsenic in the blood exceeded the WHO normal threshold value of <10 g/L. This type of research is descriptive research. The research sampling technique used was quota sampling as many as 15 respondents. This research was conducted at the Surabaya Industrial Service and Standardization Center using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in April-May 2022. The results obtained from 15 respondents 66.7% of respondents had a long working time > 10 years the average arsenic content was 1.09276667 g/L while 33.5% had a long working period of <10 years, the average arsenic level was 0.98746 g/ L. Of the 15 respondents, 40% who used complete personal protective equipment had an average arsenic level of 1.141557143 g/L, while 60% who did not use complete personal protective equipment had an average arsenic level of 1.0107125 g/L. Of the 15 respondents, 86.7% had last contact with pesticides <1 week, the average level of arsenic was 1.08695 g/L, while 13.3% had last contact with pesticides >1 week, the average level of arsenic was 1.0114 g/L. Arsenic levels in the blood of farmers in bakipandeyan village, sukoharjo meet the normal threshold value of <10 µg/mL according to WHO} }
