A study of the extent of the effect of hydrocarbons on the blood variables of people working in gas stations in the Traghen region

Abstract

Hematological variables are affected by hydrocarbons encountered by people working in gas stations. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the extent of the effect of hydrocarbons on the hematological and biochemical variables of people working in gas stations in the Traghen area. (25) blood samples were taken from people working at gas stations in the Traghen area from different age groups, in different years of work. The number of people working from 1 year to 12 years was (15) people, people working from 12 to 24 years was (7) people, and people working from 24 to 36 years was (3) people. This study was based on conducting practical experiments, analyzing them, and measuring the extent of the impact on the blood and biochemical variables of people working at fuel stations in Traghen. The results showed that hydrocarbons had an impact on the amount of hemoglobin, which was significantly lower than the normal rate. People working at the stations did not experience any increase in the average number of white blood cells, and liver and kidney functions were not affected. From this we conclude that hydrocarbons significantly affect blood variables and hemoglobin in people working in gas stations, and the more years of work in the stations, the more it affects hemoglobin. We therefore recommend that people working in gas stations in the Traghen area conduct periodic examinations due to their effect on blood variables.
