| Abstract | ||
| The study has been applied to 50 blood specimens from randomly selected wood painters from three towns in Al-Anbar province: Khalidiya, Falluja and Ramadi , starting from January 2007 to August chosen2008 . In addition, 20 specimens were taken from normal individuals as control group. This study involved analysis of the chemical materials found in wood paint composition their effects on the cytogenetic of those who are subjected to them through the use of circulating blood lymphatic cells. In other words, this research dealt with the study of (karyotype, the blast index and mitotic index) . The study also focused on the effect of paint materials on the physiological standards of blood , some biochemical examinations were included. Cytogenetic analysis showed the following results: The occurrence of structural and numerical aberration in workers subjected to wood paint materials with an average (22.51%) as compared to the control group (0.8%). Significant increase (P>0.05) of the blast index percent(%17.6) and Mitotic index (%1.669) occurred in wood painters as compared to that of the control group in which blast index (%6.04) and Mitotic index (%0.713). Results showed abnormality in reproductive health in wood painters. The ratio of children death was (7.46%) as compared with that of the control group which represented (3.33%)..While malformation average was (1.49%) in wood painters’ children, there was no malformation in control group children.In terms of the service period, there was a significant increase (P>0.05) in hemoglobin concentration in workers where its ratio represents (15.314) mg/100ml as compared to that of the control group (14.655)mg/100ml . In addition, the age and the work location have nothing to do with the increase of the hemoglobin concentration. The results of the study did not show a relation between the rate of PCV in workers and the service period, age categories and the work location. Furthermore, the study pointed out that there was a significant increase in the hemoglobin concentration and the rate of PCV in workers whose service period is between (10-17) years and age categories (30-40) years as compared to the control group. In terms of service , the study showed a significant increase (P>0.05) on the number of PLT with an average (354.7) per mm3 and on the total number of WBC with an average (7353) cells per mm3 to wood painters as compared to the control group in which the number of PLT was with an average (286.6) cells per mm3 and the number of WBC was (6745) cells per mm3. The study did not show a relation between age categories and work location on one hand and the number of PLT and WBC on the other hand. The results showed significant decrease (P>0.05) in the nutrophils ratio in wood painters wast represented (47.464)% as compared to that of the control group (58.050)% depending on the service period. On the contrary, age categories and work location did not show such effect. The results revealed that a significant increase (P>0.05) in the number ratio of the lymphocytes (38.50)% , monocytes (7.86)% , acidophil (3.85)% and basophiles (2.06)% in wood painters as compared to the control group (32.62)% , (6.40)% , (2.32)% and (0.82)% . On the contrary, age categories and work location did not show this increase. The results of biochemical examinations showed significant increase in ALP concentration in wood painters with an average (83.96 U/L) as compared to the control group (41.45 U/L). In addition, ALP concentration increased in workers whose service period is between (3-10) years and (24-30) years as compared to the control group. Moreover, the results did not show a relation between the increase of ALP according to age categories and work location. In terms of the service period, the study showed significant increase (P<0.05) in AST with an average (32.73 U/L) and ALT with an average (31.67 U/L) in wood painters as compared to the control group where AST represented (18.38 U/L) and ALT represented (16.35 U/L). Furthermore, the study showed significant increase in AST and ALT concentration (P>0.05) in workers whose service period is between (3-10) years and age categories between (40-45) years, also results showed significant ALP & ALT increase in wood painters from Khalidiya and Ramadi as compared to the control group.The study showed no significant differences in the total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin between the wood painters and the control group according to the service period, work location and age categories. At the same time, and in terms of the service period and work location, the results showed significant increase (P<0.05) in the direct bilirubin concentration in the painter group (0.313 mg/dl) as compared to the control group (0.183mg/dl) . | ||
