| Abstract | ||
| This research aims to detect which one of the related immunological and hematological variables in the blood of human beings in exposed areas was statistically related with pollution, and if presents can we use this variable as a biomarker in the future. This research also aims to investigate the influence of pollutants on the production level of the selected blood parameters, and do they clearly record a big difference in level from the normal values, with regards of the other factors in the questionnaire and their correlations. The research is been divided to two stages of work. The first one includes the preparation of scientific equipments, kits and references. Also includes collection of blood samples from people who have lived near Al-Ahdab oil field area in Al-Kut, as well as controls. There was a questionnaire to be filled. The second stage of research included applying of serological and hematological tests. There was a significant elevation in the renal function (urea and creatinine) and hematological parameters (hemoglobin and packed cell volume) levels. While there was no significant increase in the CRP value in comparison with controls. | ||
