OBJECTIVE
This study has been aimed to investigate factors associated with elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) across different percentiles in individuals employed in the petroleum industry and residents of Kirkuk City . In addition, to provide evidence-based approaches to mitigate exposure risks and safeguard vulnerable populations.
METHODS
The study involved 357 participants and utilized quantile regression to examine BLL in petroleum industry workers and Kirkuk residents.
RESULTS
Median BLLs were higher among workers (17.5 μg/dL) compared to residents in the city (9.9 μg/dL) and suburbs (7.4 μg/dL). Factors such as smoking, outdoor work, and lower education were associated with elevated BLLs, as confirmed by quantile regression.
CONCLUSIONS
This study found higher BLLs in petroleum workers compared to Kirkuk residents, associated with smoking, outdoor work, and lower education. The results emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policies to mitigate lead exposure risks in this industrial region.
目的
本研究旨在调查与在石油行业工作的个体和基尔库克市居民中不同百分位的血铅水平（BLL）升高相关的因素。此外，为减轻接触风险和保护弱势群体提供循证方法。
方法
本研究共纳入 357 名参与者，采用分位数回归分析石油行业工人和基尔库克市居民的 BLL。
结果
与城市（9.9μg/dL）和郊区（7.4μg/dL）居民相比，工人的 BLL 中位数更高（17.5μg/dL）。分位数回归证实，吸烟、户外工作和较低的教育程度等因素与 BLL 升高有关。
结论
本研究发现，与基尔库克市居民相比，石油工人的 BLL 更高，与吸烟、户外工作和较低的教育程度有关。结果强调需要在这个工业地区采取有针对性的干预和政策来减轻铅接触风险。
