Abstract EN

In Iraq smoking is very common practice by all professionals and goldsmiths are no exception.

Smoker goldsmith are exposed to different metals and their health effects are underestimated.

High level of cadmium and carboxyhaemoglobin show dangerous risk to goldsmiths.

The interconnected relations of these items as well as other characters i.e.

creatinine and urea appear statistically significant..

Statistical analysis shows significant impacts in blood characteristics for different smokers.

This may lead to health hazards.

On the other hand , the relationships among different blood characteristics are also significant.

The most important means of prevention is to follow up smoker goldsmith’s level of blood cadmium and monocarboxy-hemoglobin toxicity.

Further studies should be made in this field as it represent a general medical issue in Iraq.
