BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF WORKERS EXPOSED TO MANGANESE

P. Nikolova, B. Kavaldzhieva

Abstract

The study covered 34 workers from a manganese mine (group one) and 33 workers from a flux manufacture (group two). The following parameters were examined: total protein, protein fractions, immunoglobulins A, M, and G, total cholesterol, the enzyme activity of ASAT, ALAT, GLDH, LDH, and CE in the serum, as well as manganese in the blood by using the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Blood manganese concentration was reliably elevated. There was reduction of total protein and albumin contents while alpha 2-globulins were enhanced for the second group only. The immunoglobulin A was increased which was more outlined for the group two whilst the total cholesterol increase was more manifested for the group one. All the enzymes were significantly activated. The necessity for dynamic follow-up of the parameters examined during the evaluation of the health risk and monitoring the health status of workers from manganese-dangerous projects was emphasized.


Keywords
