Kurşun maruziyetinin taranmasında saç ve idrar numunelerinin kullanılabilirliğinin araştırılması

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, eş zamanlı olarak bakılan tam kan, 24 saatlik idrar ve saç kurşun düzeylerinin birbiri ile karşılaştırılması ve kurşun maruziyetinin taranmasında saç ve idrar numunelerinin kullanılabilirliğinin araştırılmasıdır.Yöntemler: Ankara Meslek Hastalıkları yılları Hastanesi'ne periyodik muayene amacıyla başvuran 436 işçiye ait veriler değerlendirildi. Tam kan, 24 saatlik idrar ve saç kurşun düzeyleri eş zamanlı olarak bakılmış kişiler çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Kişiler iki farklı tam kan maruziyet düzeyine (10 ?g/dL ve 30 ?g/dL) göre değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Tam kan maruziyet sınırlarına göre sınıflandırılan grupların 24 saatlik idrar ve saç kurşun düzeyi birbirinden farklı ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p

Investigation of the hair and urine samples’ utility for screening lead poisoning

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare whole blood, 24 hour urine and hair lead levels which were measured concurrently, and evaluate the utility of hair and urine samples for screening of lead exposure.Methods: The data of 436 workers who referred to Ankara Occupational Diseases Hospital between 2010 and 2014 for periodic examination were evaluated. People who examined whole blood, 24 hour urine and hair lead levels concurrently were included in this study. People were evaluated according to two different whole blood exposure levels (10 μg/dL and 30 μg/dL).Results: 24 hour urine and hair lead levels of the groups classified according to whole blood exposure limits were different from each other and statistically significant (p
