Abstract

Panel beaters are automobile technician subspecialties whose occupational practices include repair, cutting, soldering, welding, and spray painting. This study aimed on the assessment of some biochemical makers and haematological parameters among panel beaters in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Ten milliliters of blood sample was withdrawn via venipuncture technique from each of the ninety healthy participants, age between 21-32 years with 5 ml each dispensed into lithium heparin and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid anti-coagulated bottles respectively for the measurement of some biochemical and haematological parameters. These participants were grouped into control group made up of 30 non-panel beaters, 30 panel beaters with working experience of less than 3 years (experimental group one) and another 30 panel beaters with 3- 10 years working experience (experimental group two).The biochemical markers measured were: lead (atomic absorption spectrophotometric), cadmium (atomic absorption spectrophotometric), glutathione peroxidase (ultra-violet), malondialdehyde (thiobabituric), C-reactive protein (latex turbidimetry) and interleukin-6 (ELISA) while the haematological parameters were packed cell volume (microhaematocrit), haemoglobin (cyanmethaemoglobi) total white blood cells count (improved neubauer chamber) and erythrocytes sedimentation rate (westergre). The data obtained from the measurements were analysed using SPSS 23.0 version as statistical package. The mean values of all measured biochemical parameters in the experimental group one participants revealed no significant differences (p > 0.05) with the exception of C-reactive protein (3.28 ± 0.45) mg/L, (p=0.04), and interleukin-6 (5.60 ±0.32) pg/ml (p=0.04) as compared to the control group C-reactive protein (2.14 ± 0.32)mg/L and interleukin-6 (3.91 ± 0.21) pg/ml (p=0.04) while in the experimental group 2 participants were significantly elevations in the mean value
