Furthermore, the pollution of the workplace environment with toxic heavy metals is a worldwide problem (Lemos & De Carvalho, 2010;Massadeh et al, 2010;Amartey et al, 2011;Peter et al, 2012;Vincenti et al, 2013;Momčilović et al, 2016;Alrobaian & Arida, 2019;Al-Muzafar et al, 2021;Ikese, et al, 2021;Lotah et al, 2022).
