Abstract

The present study included (90) males of gas stations laborers aged between ( 16- 60 years). They all subjected to
estimation of hemoglobin concentration and total serum cholesterol , red blood and white blood cells count. 30 nonworking normal males from the same ages were elected as a control group and subjected to the same previous tests.
The results showed decreasing in hemoglobin concentration ( p=0.021) concomitant decreasing of total serum
cholesterol (p=0.036) in gas station workers in compare with control group. Also significant decreasing in red and
white blood counts were noticed ( P< 0.001 ) in gas stations workers. It was also found that the previous parameters
varies according to the period length of time exposure to benzene fumes. The current study concluded that benzene
fumes may have a negative impact on hemoglobin and total serum cholesterol concentration, red and white blood
cells count and lead to decrease of all.
