The aim was to assess the determinants of benzo(a)pyrenediol epoxide adducts to haemoglobin (BaPDE-Hb) in workers exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
This was a study of the correlations between the concentrations of PAHs in air, 1-hydroxyprene in urine, and BaPDE-Hb adduct concentration in the blood in 206 men working in steel foundries and one graphite electrode producing plant, taking into consideration confounding factors such as smoking and dietary habits.
BaPDE-Hb adduct concentration was correlated (r = 0.26; p = 0.0002) with the airborne PAH concentration and was influenced by tobacco consumption but not by dietary habits. Benzo(a)-pyrene concentration in air, 1-hydroxypyrene concentration in urine, and duration of exposure to PAHs were not associated with the adduct concentration.
Although environmental exposure to PAHs was statistically associated with BaPDE-Hb adduct concentration, differences between individual subjects in the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene probably play an important part in determining the amount of BaPDE-Hb adducts formed.
旨在评估多环芳烃(PAHs)暴露工人血红蛋白中苯并(a)芘二醇环氧化物加合物(BaPDE-Hb)的决定因素。
本研究对206名在钢铁铸造厂和一家石墨电极生产厂工作的男性工人的空气中PAHs浓度、尿中1-羟基芘浓度和血液中BaPDE-Hb加合物浓度之间的相关性进行了研究,同时考虑了吸烟和饮食习惯等混杂因素。
BaPDE-Hb加合物浓度与空气中PAH浓度相关(r = 0.26;p = 0.0002),并受烟草消费影响,但不受饮食习惯影响。空气中苯并(a)芘浓度、尿中1-羟基芘浓度和PAHs暴露持续时间与加合物浓度无关。
尽管环境中PAHs暴露与BaPDE-Hb加合物浓度在统计学上相关,但个体间苯并(a)芘代谢的差异可能在决定形成的BaPDE-Hb加合物数量方面起重要作用。
