Abstract

Objective: In many countries, data obtained from individuals has been evaluated in order to determine environmental metal exposure and country standards. In the present study, the aim is to find out the mean arsenic levels of residents of our country by detecting the arsenic levels in hair samples of metallurgical workers who were thought to be exposed to arsenic and unexposed volunteers.Methods: The study population comprised 175 metallurgy workers aged 20 to 58 and 175 age-matched 21 to 60 years volunteers. GFAAS equipped with zeeman background correction system was utilized for hair as determination.Results: The average levels in hair of exposed workers and the control group was 2.53±2.47 μg/g and 0.21±0.20 μg/g, respectively. The level in hair was found significantly higher in the exposed group than in the control group p

Özet

Amaç: Birçok ülkede özellikle çevresel metal maruziyetini ve ülke standartlarını belirlemek amacıyla toplum bireylerine ait veriler değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada; arsenik maruziyeti olduğu düşünülen metalurji işçilerinin yanısıra bilinen bir metal maruziyeti olmayan gönüllülerden alınan saç örneklerinde arsenik analizi yapılarak ülkemizde yaşayanlara ait ortalama değerlerin bulunması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Çalışmada, 20-58 yaş arası 175 erkek metalürji işçisi ile aynı yaş grubunda 21-60 yaş 175 erkek gönüllüye ait saç örneklerinde zeeman düzeltmeli grafit fırınlı atomik absorbsiyon spektroskopisi GFAAS ile arsenik analizi yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Metalurji işçilerine ait saç örneklerinde arsenik düzeyi 2,53±2,47 μg/g, kontrol grubunda ise 0,21±0,20 μg/g bulunmuştur. Metal maruziyeti olan grupta bulunan sonuçlar istatistiki olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur p
