Abstract

Background and Aims: Background and aim: About 30-40% of lead entered the respiratory system, is absorbed to the bloodstream. Some studies have demonstrated that CIGARETTE smoking results in blood-lead levels elevation as well as decreased blood ASCORBIC ACID. This study has performed on this issue in lead exposed WELDER workers. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate associations of smoking habit with blood lead, HEMOGLOBIN and plasma ASCORBIC ACID levels in 32 WELDERs. All the cases used to work in a car factory in Tehran suburb as WELDERs 8 hours a day. They were divided into three groups based on blood lead level quartiles. The BLOOD LEAD LEVELS were determined by 8003 NAIOSH method and blood ASCORBIC ACID level was determined by Lowery method. Results were compared (based on mean values) using independent sample t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods. Results: Results indicated that the BLOOD LEAD LEVELS in those who smoke 7+ CIGARETTEs per day was significantly higher than those who smoke <7 CIGARETTEs per day (p<0.05) or no smoking group (p<0.001). The HEMOGLOBIN concentrations in 7+ group was significantly lower than of the <7 (p<0.01) and no smoking (p<0.05) groups.Conclusion: Smoking habit in population, who occupationally exposed to lead, causes an increase exposure to lead and, hence, elevation of blood-lead levels as well as inhibition of HEMOGLOBIN synthesis and therefore reduces HEMOGLOBIN concentration.
