The current study was conducted as a preliminary study in the Samarra city of Iraq. The study explored direct and indirect impact on people exposed to Internet network towers on residential premises in the cities of Iraq. The study included collection of samples from people exposed to radioactive frequencies of Internet towers for a period ranging from 1 to 10 years. In all, 43 blood samples of males and female participants (age: 20-35 years) were collected exposed to radioactive frequencies (present at the places where constellations were located); also, 20 samples were collected from those (20-35-year old) not exposed to radioactive frequencies (from places far from the Internet towers), which acted as a control group. Measurements and analyses were made for antioxidants that included the following enzymes: glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and peroxynitrate (or peroxonitrite [ONOO -]). Antioxidants are one of the most essential lines of defense against free radicals that cause diseases and premature aging. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the levels of GPx and SOD concentrations and a decrease in the levels of GSH concentration in the blood serum of participants exposed to electromagnetic waves of Internet towers compared to the control group. The results also showed a significant increase in the concentrations of both MDA and ONOOcompared to the non-exposed subjects of the control group.
The current study is to assess the impact of benzene exposure to some bloody variables for fuel stations workers in Samarra, as well to detect whether incessant exposure perhaps lead to a pathological response in the blood system, which is inferred through changes in some blood markers. This study was conducted on 35 blood samples from males working in car filling stations in the city of Samarra, and the study was conducted on fuel suppliers considering that they are the most in contact with and exposed to benzene fumes used as car fuel, and divided according to the exposure period into two groups, a group exposed from 3-4 years old and another exposed group from 8-10 years, and they all underwent a CBC tests , and 25 blood samples were collected of the normal males who did not work in filling stations as a comparison group , they were subjected to the same previous tests. The results showed hematological changes in workers exposed to benzene fumes, as the results of this study showed a significant increase in MCHC, MCH, NUT, WBC, PLT, MCV, MPV in the two groups exposed to benzene for the periods of (3-4) and (8-10) years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
