Abstract

Petrochemical facilities, including oil well drilling, are discharging resources of extensive noxious waste into the environment. The workers in different sections might be exposed to vanadium (V) through different routes (groundwater and soil), which is linked with extensive physiological disorders, hypertension, respiratory disorders, anemia, skin, and gastrointestinal disorders. This study determined the contents of V in a biological sample (scalp hair) of workers of different categories (outdoor and office workers) in an oil drilling field in Sindh, Pakistan. The environmental samples, groundwater, bottled mineral water, and soil samples were also analyzed for V. For comparative purposes, the scalp hair of age-matched male subjects residing in domestic areas of Hyderabad city, Pakistan, was also analyzed. Generally, the concentrations of V in groundwater near the oil drilling field and drilled soil illustrated significant variations. The results show that the vanadium concentration in the scalp hair of non-exposed referents (controls) and office workers (exposed referents) was 62% and 45% lower than those observed for outdoor drilling and cleaning mud workers. It was observed that high exposure to V in outdoor workers might be linked with different physiological disorders such as anemia, eye problems, and bronchial disorders.

评估石油钻井领域户外和行政人员头皮毛发样本中与工作相关的钒暴露：相关的健康风险。

石油化工设施，包括油井钻探，正在向环境排放大量有毒废物资源。不同部门的工人可能会通过不同途径（地下水和土壤）接触到钒（V），而钒与广泛的生理紊乱、高血压、呼吸系统疾病、贫血、皮肤和胃肠道疾病有关。本研究测定了巴基斯坦信德省一个石油钻探区不同类别工人（户外和办公室工人）的生物样本（头皮头发）中的 V 含量。此外，还对环境样本、地下水、瓶装矿泉水和土壤样本中的 V 进行了分析。为了进行比较，还对居住在巴基斯坦海得拉巴市住宅区的年龄相匹配的男性受试者的头皮头发进行了分析。一般来说，石油钻井区附近地下水和钻井土壤中的钒浓度变化很大。结果表明，未接触钒的参照物（对照组）和办公室工作人员（接触钒的参照物）头皮头发中的钒浓度分别比室外钻井工人和清洗泥浆工人低 62% 和 45%。据观察，室外工人接触钒的程度高，可能与不同的生理疾病有关，如贫血、眼疾和支气管疾病。

期刊介绍： Biological Trace Element Research provides a much-needed central forum for the emergent, interdisciplinary field of research on the biological, environmental, and biomedical roles of trace elements. Rather than confine itself to biochemistry, the journal emphasizes the integrative aspects of trace metal research in all appropriate fields, publishing human and animal nutritional studies devoted to the fundamental chemistry and biochemistry at issue as well as to the elucidation of the relevant aspects of preventive medicine, epidemiology, clinical chemistry, agriculture, endocrinology, animal science, pharmacology, microbiology, toxicology, virology, marine biology, sensory physiology, developmental biology, and related fields.
