Effect of Occupational Exposure to some Industrial Materials (Ethylene,High-density Ethylene and Low-density Ethylene) on Blood Parameters of Worker in Petrochemical plant in Basra
Abstract
The current study was conducted toinvestigate the effects of occupational exposure to some industrial material (Ethylene, High-density ethylene and low-density ethylene) on blood parameters to workers in petrochemical plant in Basra we found significant decrease in hemoglobin,packed cell volume of worker exposure to more than 15 years on(P≤0.01) and in mean cell volume,red blood distribution width on( p≤0.05) compare with control group while red blood cell count and mean corpuscular hemoglobin,mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration was not significant.on the group of less than 15 years the packed cell volume was significant decrease on ( p≤0.05) ,mean cell volume decrease on( P≤0.01),decrease red blood distribution width on (P≤0.01) while mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration was significantly increase on( P≤0.01) and red blood cell, hemoglobin,packed cell volume was not significant.in group of more than 15 years there is significantdecrease in number and percentage of lymphocyte and number of monocyte on (P≤0.01) while the percentage of monocyte not significant , significant increase in number of granulocyte on( P≤0.01) while the percentage of monocyte and white blood cell count not significant.on the less than 15 years the number and percentage of monocyte significant decrease on(P≤0.01),significant increase in number and percentage of granulocyte on the same probability and the white blood cell count ,number and percentage of lymphocyte was not significant.Also there is significant decrease in platelet count ,mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width on(P≤0.01) while plateletcrit not significant in group of more than 15 years also significant decrease in platelet count ,mean platelet volume on(P≤0.01) group of less than 15 years while platelet distribution width and plateletcrit was not significant.We concluded that exposure to ethylene and its kinds cause change in criteria forbloodandit was due tothe toxicity ofmetabolites (ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol) causing disorderto human health.
