Abstract:
Estimating the element of lead in blood samples of some gas station workers in Al-Shamiya District, Al-Qadisiyah Governorate, Iraq. Heavy elements are found in abundance in nature, where they are released through geochemical cycles into the environment, and high concentrations of heavy elements in the aquatic environment represent a danger to living organisms. Due to the ability of these organisms to accumulate these elements inside their bodies, and their concentration, what may cause a defect in their vital functions, in addition to the transmission of these elements through the food chains of the human being, causing him a lot of health damage. This research aims to estimate the concentration of lead in the whole blood of gas station workers and to study the relationship between its concentrations and the duration of work in the stations, as well as compare these concentrations.
