Abstract:Purpose
This study focused on the selected markers of oxidative stress, impact of elevated lead levels on long-term hearing quality. We investigated whether the presence of certain essential minerals might provide protection to the auditory system against the effects of lead (and cadmium) compounds.
Methods
The research group included 280 male employees of the zinc and lead smelter, which was divided into: L-Pb—low blood lead concentration (PbB) subgroup,… Show more
