Abstract
The study was conducted in the two main industrial areas in Mosul, northern Iraq, where the study included measuring the number of heavy metals (cadmium, aluminum, mercury, chromium) in the blood of workers in those areas. For 20 workers, in contrast, blood samples were drawn from Mosul University employees. They were considered as a control group for being far from industrial activity and for 20 employees.
An atomic absorption device was used to analyze blood samples after diluting. In addition, workers were divided into groups according to (age, smoking status, and period of occupational exposure).
The results revealed statistically significant differences when comparing the samples of workers to the control group, while the results did not show significant differences between groups of workers.
