Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the blood lead, cadmium,chromium and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of closed and open car park station workers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. In Diyarbakir city cen-ter, venous bloods of 49 closed and 50 open car park station workers were collected and analyzed using atomic absorbsionspectrophotometry. Results: Mean blood lead level of closed car-park station workers(268,06 μg/lt) was not statistically different from open car park station workers (181,53 μg/lt). But for cadmium and chromiummean blood levels, there was statistically significant difference between two groups. Mean blood cadmium level was 59.20 μg/ltin closed car-park workers and 33.21 μg/lt in open car-park work- ers. Chromium levels were 5.02 μg/lt and 3.69 μg/lt respectively. Mean TAC level was 1.60 in closed auto park workers and 1.50 inopen car park workers. There was a statistically significant differ- ence between the two groups. Conclusions: Both in closed and open car park workers meanblood lead, cadmium and chromium levels were found high. Health status of car park station workers should be followed upcontinuously.,

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma Diyarbakır kent merkezinde kapalı ve açık oto-park çalışanlarının kan kurşun, kadmiyum, krom ve total antioksi- dan kapasitelerini değerlendirmektedir. Yöntem: Bu kesitsel araştırmada Diyarbakır kent merkezinde 49kapalı otopark ve 50 açık otopark çalışanı toplam 99 kişiden ve- nöz kan alınmıştır. Bulgular: Otopark çalışanlarının kan değerleri şöyledir: Kandakiortalama kurşun değeri; kapalı otoparkta 268,06 μg/lt, açık oto- parkta 181,53 μg/ltdir; iki grup arasındaki fark istatistik olarak an-lamlı değildir. Kandaki ortalama kadmiyum değeri kapalı otopark- ta 59.20 μg/lt, açık otoparkta 33.21 μg/ltdir; gruplar arası fark is-tatistiksel olarak önemlidir. Kandaki ortalama krom düzeyi kapalı otoparkta 5.02 μg/lt ve açık otoparkta 3.69 μg/ltdir; iki grup ara-sındaki fark istatistik olarak anlamlı değildir. Total antioksidan ka- pasitesi (TAK) ortalaması kapalı otoparkta (1.60), açık otoparkta-kinden; (1.50) düşüktür; iki grup arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Sonuç: Gerek kapalı, gerekse açık otopark çalışanlarının kan kur-şun, kadmiyum ve krom düzeyleri standart değerlerin üzerinde- dir. Otopark çalışanlarının sağlık durumları sürekli değerlendiril-melidir.
