Investigating Blood Lead Levels and Its Health Effects on Employees of a Petroleum Industry and the Surrounding Residents: A Case Study of Kirkuk City, Iraq.
Objective: This study has been aimed to investigate factors associated with elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) across different percentiles in individuals employed in the petroleum industry and residents of Kirkuk City . In addition, to provide evidence-based approaches to mitigate exposure risks and safeguard vulnerable populations.
Methods: The study involved 357 participants and utilized quantile regression to examine BLL in petroleum industry workers and Kirkuk residents.
Results: Median BLLs were higher among workers (17.5 μg/dL) compared to residents in the city (9.9 μg/dL) and suburbs (7.4 μg/dL). Factors such as smoking, outdoor work, and lower education were associated with elevated BLLs, as confirmed by quantile regression.
Conclusions: This study found higher BLLs in petroleum workers compared to Kirkuk residents, associated with smoking, outdoor work, and lower education. The results emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policies to mitigate lead exposure risks in this industrial region.
