Abstract

The study was conducted on 30 male workers exposed to multiple hazards in utensils manufacture industry. The study included 30 exposed workers and 30 control subjects with the same demographic characteristics, selected from administrative department of the same factory. Each worker was subjected to biochemical and hematological analysis. The hematological analysis included prothrombin activity, fibrinogen and complete blood picture. Biochemical analysis included transaminases, lipid profile, creatine kinase and lactic dehydrogenase. Results indicated that exposure to multiple chemicals and physical agents in polishing industry leads to biochemical and hematological changes as elevation in the level of cholesterol triglycerides, changes in liver functions as the levels of transaminases were elevated and significant increase in the creatine kinase enzymes. Results of hematological analysis revealed that both haemoglobin, hematocrit, clotting time and prothrombin activity were significantly higher among exposed workers compared to the control group.
