Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to find the impact of benzene and its components on some aspects of hematological parameters in the blood of workers in the filling stations as blood samples were collected, studied and synthesized from (60 people) of people working in filling stations in Kirkuk and in direct contact with gasoline and (60 people) of people who do not work in gas stations and considered as a control group. The laboratory tests were conducted and included: blood tests include a Complete Blood Count, WBC, RBC, Hb, ESR, Plat. count and the biochemical test (T.S.P). The results of the study showed a little difference in the levels of the CBC, ESR as well as measure total serum protein in the blood of workers, compared with the control group. Non-significant differences in the values of white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hemoglobin.
