Analysis study for selenium and iron in the serum of workers at dyes industry

الملخص EN

Objective : Estimation of selenium and iron levels in the serum of workers in one of dye industries at Baghdad city.

Methodology : Twenty two serum samples of both workers and control cases were collected to detect trace level of these elements under our study by using the sensitive method (Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometer), as analysis tool.

Using an ANOVA method to the decide differences between the results at 99 %.

Results : It was found, that the concentrations in serum low level of these elements of workers compared with the control.

It was found that the Selenium Concentrations, in the range of ages (15-29) and (30-44) years are significantly differences, but the Iron concentrations in the serum samples of workers within the all ranges of ages are showed to be significantly differences.

Recommendation : This study showed that it is very important to leave the workers out of factory for some time or take a rest from the locations of dyes, thus all these dyes containing of a volatile complexes which react with the important elements and make an excretion them from the body.
