Abstract
In this study hematological, biochemical and some oxidative
steers parameters were evaluated for 75 pesticide handlers or
occuptionely-exposed workers in different pesticide exposure fields
(industry, transport, storage, handling, mixing and application of
pesticides), and compare the data with the parameters of 25 nonoccuptionely
exposed individuals (control group). Also, the impact of age
and duration of occupational exposure for each group of workers was
determined. Information about age, medical history, nature of work type
and groups of pesticides dealing with, knowledge about pesticides and
protection measures used to prevent exposure for each individual were
extracted through questionnaired investigation. The obtained data
indicated that about 90% of the respondents involved in the different
pesticide-related jobs had no interest in knowing the pesticide kind nor
the method of protection and safety measures, and 100% of the
participants did not use the tasks of prevention during work. Regarding of
the hematological and biochemical parameters results showed significant
increase in Hb, PCV, MCV, MCH, TLC, Baso., Eos., ALT, AST, AlP,
BUN, Creat and UA of industry workers. Also, Hb, MCH, MCHC, ALT,
AST, AlP, TP, BUN, create. and UA were significantly increased in
mixing and application group. Significant elevations in levels of serum
ALT, AST, AlP, BUN, create, and UA were observed for handlers
working in storing and transport workers group. A correlation between
age/exposure duration in different workers groups (industry, handling and
mixing and application worker) and the elevation in vital parameters was
established. Industry workers are the most affected by exposure to
pesticides than handlers working in mixing and application of pesticides
in agriculture and public health. Whereas the least affected group were
handlers working in the field of transporting and handling pesticides.
Also, data showed a positive correlation between biochemical parameters
(ALT, AST, ALP, urea, creatine, uric acid and malondialdehyde) and
duration of exposure in the three pesticide occupationally-exposed worker
groups. Whereas the relationship between alb., TP, enzymatic activity of
AChE and GSH was inverse with increased duration of exposure.
