Abstract
The manufacturing of cement is a dirty business. It involves a series of complicated steps that take raw stone from quarries and transform it into a very fine powder that attains remarkable qualities when mixed with water and air. Forty individuals lived near to cement industry have been investigated. They were divided into 4 groups according to their blood groups. Other forty individuals were used as a control category that’s live in the city. Hematological parameters (Hemoglobin, hematocrit,red blood cells and whit blood cells)and biochemical constituents( Total protein, total bilirubin, urea, total lipid and cholesterol) were recorded in exposed and control categories. Also serum enzymes: serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (Alk ph), acid phosphatase (ACP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acetylcholine esterase (AchE) were estimated in both categories. On Other hands serum cations (Mg2+, Fe3+ and Ca2+) were measured in both categories. The Results showed that the level of hemoglobin, total protein, Mg2+, Fe3+ and Ca2+were significantly decreased while the urea level , ALT, AST,Alk ph,ACp,LDH, and AchE activities were markedly increased . The levels of total bilirubin ,total lipid and cholesterol were almost the same in exposed and control subjects. In Conclusion the individuals lived near cement industry are exposed to more oxidative stress compared to control subjects. This study to environment was undertaken to draw together scientific findings on cement industry and its releases and their impacts on human health. A broad range of health effects have been associated with living near to cement industry plants as well as working at these installations. The use of such biomarkers may sufficient to reflect the degree of relative susceptibility due to blood groups variation and also as a good tools to indetect occupational exposure to pollutants in industrial plants.
