Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine some metals in hair and serum samples of petrol station workers. A total of 50 petrolstation workers (exposure group) and 50 office workers (control group) were included in the study. Li, Ni, V, Tl, Ti and Srlevels in hair samples and Sr, Ti and V levels in serum samples were measured using the ICP-OES instrument. Li, Ni, V, Tl, Tiand Sr levels in hair samples were found to be significantly higher in the exposure group than in the control group. Ti level inserum samples was found to be significantly higher in the exposure group than in the control group. However, Sr and V levelsin serum samples did not differ significantly between the two groups. These results show that petrol station workers areexposed to these toxic metals. For this reason, it may be recommended that petrol station workers should undergo regularbiomonitoring and healthcare screening.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı petrol istasyonunda çalışan işçilerin saç ve seumlarında bazı metalleri belirlemektir. Toplam 50 petrol istasyonu işçisi (maruziyet grubu) ve 50 ofis çalışanı (kontrol grubu) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Saç örneklerinde Li, Ni, V, Tl, Ti ve Sr serum örneklerinde Sr, Ti ve V ICP-OES kullanılarak ölçüldü. Saç örneklerinde Li, Ni, V, Tl, Ti ve Sr maruziyet grubunda kontrolden anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Serum Ti seviyesi maruziyet grubunda kontrolden anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Sr ve V serum seviyeleri iki grup arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Bu sonuçlar petrol istasyonu işçilerinin bu toksik metallere maruziyetini göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, petrol istasyonu işçilerinin düzenli biyogözlemlerinin ve sağlık taramalarının yapılması önerilir.
