This study was undertaken to elucidate the biochemical and oxidative stress effects of some aromatic amines as water pollutants on fishermen in El-Mex bay through the determination of malondialdehyde as a measure of lipid peroxidation, blood glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase activity. The level of malondialdehyde was significantly elevated in the sera of fishermen group when compared with the control group. Both glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase activity were significantly lower in fishermen group than control one. Conclusively the present study emphasized that the pollution of El-Mex bay induce oxidative stress in the fishermen. This risk may persist due to lowered levels of the anti-oxidants glutathione and glutathione peroxidase
