Studying the Amount of Blood Parameters and Liver Enzymes in the Workers of Sanandaj Power Plant

Previous studies have unraveled the adverse effects of man-made magnetic fields on human and animal health. Controlling hematological parameters is a useful procedure to evaluate the level of health of humans and animals that are exposed to electromagnetic fields. Due to the long-term exposure of power plant workers to strong electromagnetic fields, this research was designed and conducted to compare the hematological parameters of the workers of Sanandaj Power Plant (EPSW) with a control group (the workers of Mehr Bank). For this purpose, whole blood and serum samples were taken from the EPSW (n = 91) and control (n = 88) groups. The collected serum samples were evaluated in terms of the amounts of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT); and the blood samples were evaluated in terms of erythrocyte indices. The results indicated that the EPSW group showed higher amounts of SGPT, RDW (Red Cell Distribution Width) and Ly (lymphoma), and lower MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentra1Corresponding author, Master’s student in biochemistry, Science Department of Sanandaj Islamic Azad University, Iran 2M.Sc., Ph.D. Chair and Associate Professor Dept of Immunology & Hematology, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran 3PhD student of DBA management of industrial management organization of Sanandaj, Research Expert of Vice Chancellor for Resource Management Affairs, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran 4Master’s student in Engineering and Food Science, College of Agriculture, Science Department of Sanandaj Islamic Azad University, Iran How to cite this paper: Nadimi, H., Jalili, A., Mohammadi, K. and Nadimi, V.
