ABSTRACT
Effect of occupation on haematological factors, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants' status was studied in masons and compared with normal subjects. Red blood corpuscles (RBC), haemoglobin (Hb), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene levels and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities decreased. Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) level increased. Occupational exposure to cement increased lipid peroxidation but decreased antioxidants' levels in masons. Increased lipid peroxidation seems to be responsible for the reduction in RBC and Hb.
