Objective:
To study the differences in antioxidants level (SOD, GSH-PX, LPO, VC, VE) between the male workers who worked to volatile benzene compounds in printing factory and the male workers who were not for evaluating the effect of pollution of volatile benzene compounds in printing industry.
Methods:
SOD, GSH-PX, VC were measured as ultraviolet visible spetrophotometry (UV). LPO, V(E) were measured as molecular fluorescence spectroscopy. Data of 43 male workers exposed to benzene toluene and xylene and control group of 50 were analyzed by SPSS 11.0.
Results:
The exposed workers were significantly different with controls in SOD, GSH-PX/LPO, VC (P < 0.05) but not in VE (P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
The Antioxidants level of male printing workers could be affected by exposure to pollution of volatile benzene compounds in printing industry.
