We aimed to investigate the short-term correlation between blood lead levels and oxidative stress generation in coal miners. The study involved 94 male coal miners from the Velenje Coal mine, arranged into four groups: three groups according to the number of consecutive working days, and a fourth control group. Miners who worked for three consecutive days had higher blood levels of lead and 8-isoprostane than the control group (P < 0.001). Correlation between lead and 8-isoprostane was of medium strength (r = 0.512, P < 0.001). Short-term lead environmental exposure can potentially harmful and should be considered when formulating improvements in working processes.
我们旨在研究煤矿工人血铅水平与氧化应激产生之间的短期相关性。该研究涉及来自韦莱涅煤矿的94名男性煤矿工人，分为四组：三组根据连续工作日数量划分，第四组为对照组。连续工作三天的矿工血铅和8-异前列腺素水平高于对照组（P < 0.001）。铅与8-异前列腺素之间的相关性为中等强度（r = 0.512，P < 0.001）。短期铅环境暴露可能具有潜在危害，在制定工作流程改进措施时应予以考虑。
