Abstract

Background: CYANIDE is a chemical substance widely used in industry and is a major environmental pollutant toxic asphyxiant, to which exposure occurs through inhalation as well as ingestion and skin contact.Methods:In this study, fifty six (56) male WORKERs exposed to CYANIDE salts, in some of Helwan of factories, were enrolled, with a mean age of 31.81±9.93 years and a mean duration of exposure of 12±2.5 years. Fifty nine (59) males not exposed to CYANIDE, with a mean age of 30.33±9.51 years were considered as control subjects. The examined group was evaluated using a self-administered questionnaire, medical examination, psychometric assessment and laboratory studies.Results: The psychometric assessment showed that changes in Digit Total Score, Similarity test, Digit Symbol test, Trial Making test and Psychomotor Speed test were statistically significant. In addition, changes in Personality test. Neuroticism and Criminality were also statistically significant.The serum level of CYANIDE in the exposed WORKERs who were also reported to be smokers, was 0.15=1:0.63 ug/ml compared to 0.086±0.004 ug/ml in smokers of the group, a difference which is statistically significant. On the other hand, CYANIDE serum level in exposed, non-smoker WORKER was 0.40±0.9 compared to 0.06±0.1 ug/ml in non-smokers of the control group, a difference which is an also statistically significant.Conclusion: And thus, The study recommends that WORKERs with a possibility of exposure to CYANIDE should be advised to wear protective and undertake protective measures to lessen direct exposure to CYANIDE.
