0.05). The serum level of IL-1β was increased among the exposed group with a statistically significance difference (p<0.001). The duration of exposure to cement dust was negatively correlated with FVC%, FEV1% and FEV1/FVC% which was statistically significant for FEV1% and FEV1/FVC% but not for FVC%. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the duration of exposure and the serum level of IL-1β among the exposed group (p<0.05). There were statistically significant negative correlations between the serum level of IL-1β among the exposed group and FVC%, FEV1% and FEV1/FVC%. Conclusion: Occupational exposure to cement dust in the workplace is associated with decreased spirometric parameters and increased serum level of IL-1β.]]>

2 times, congenital anomalies and symptoms during work as headache and dizziness. Also this work showed that chromosomal aberrations were present among about 59% of the exposed group, compared to 12.5% of non-exposed with highly statistically significant difference . The most common form of abnormalities were breaks of chromosomes (31.3%), fragments (18.8%) and polyploidy (6.2%). There were statistical significant difference between exposed and non-exposed in number of abnormal chromosomes and urinary isoflurane. Conclusion: Exposure to some anesthetic gases is associated with genotoxic effects among operating room personnel, leading to increased morbidity.]]>
