to evaluate the effects on health by exposure to mixed organic solvents, the authors analyzed some laboratory findings of blood (hemoglobin, RBC, WBC, SGOT, SGPT) and urine (protein, blood, sugar) between chronic exposed workers of mixed organic
solvents (male : 132, female : 64) and clients who received health examination (male : 133 female : 118) in Pusan Paik hospital.
The subjects were 477 persons in total and the study period was from Jan, 1, 1990 through Dec. 31 1990.
@ES The results are follows :
@EN 1. The mean values of each hematologic findings were all within normal limit but there were significant differences at hemoglobin, RBC and WBC except their twenties in male at the comparison of mean value between two groups.
2. There were significant defferences hemoglobin, RBC, WBC in male and hemoglobin, WBC in female at the comparison of distribution according to the clinical normal normal criteria in two groups.
3. There were no differences in urinalysis (protein, blood, sugar) through two groups.
4. In correlation, there were negative relation between working duration and hemoglobin, RBC and WBC through male and female subject, in exposed group.
As a result of this study, it is considered that the measurement of WBC with morphology and differential analysis is significant in hematologic findings and instead of spot urine and urinstix, microscopic and quantiative analysis with 24 hours
urineis
required in urinalysis at screening test for healthy status of workers who deal with the organic solvents.
