Abstract | ||
This study aimed to investigate the effect of dust air in some physiological parameters (Red blood cell counts RBC, Hemoglobin determination Hb, Packet cell PCV, Platelets PLT, Mean corpuscles volume MCV, Mean corpuscles hemoglobin MCH, Mean corpuscles hemoglobin concentration MCHC, White blood cell counts WBC, Lymphocyte , Granulocyte, Monocyte ,Free Iron Fe, Copper Cu, Lead Pb,Cadmium Cd) and estimated the concentration of heavy metals in sample of soil particles which collected from street dust from services and dwelling street in the second municipal sector in Karbala city. Twenty adult males rats were randomly divided into two groups (10/group) for one and two months, the first group was served as control group , second group was exposed to dust air pollution , and killed five animals randomly after thirty days ,and other five animals continued until the end of the experiment after sixty days .The results of this study were:- Showed significant increase(P≤0.05)in RBC,Hb,PCV,PLT.when compared with control group. Showed significant decrease(P≤0.05) in MCV and non significant decrease was observed in MCH in one and two months exposure ,and Showed significant increase (P≤0.05)in MCHC after sixty days. when compared with control group. Significant increase (P≤0.05) was observed in WBC, Lymphocyte, Granulocyte, Monocyte, after thirty days and Showed significant decrease(P≤0.05) WBC, Lymphocyte, and non significant decrease was observed in Granulocyte, Monocyte. In compare with control group. significant decrease(P≤0.05) in Fe, Cu, levels and significant increase(P≤0.05) in Pb, Cd levels in blood serum for one and two months exposure when compared with control group. After dust sample analysed find (Pb, Fe, Cd,Cu) and other elements determined by X-Ray Fulorescence . | ||
