Arsenic Exposure Assessment for Employees in Optoelectronic Industry
摘要
This study involved a health questionnaire survey of 121 employees of two optoelectronics companies who were exposed to arsenic in the workplace, along with 64 male employees in a control group, and was designed to determine the amount of arsenic in blood and urine as well as total arsenic in the workplace. There were no significant differences between the exposure group and the control group in terms of age, years of employment, education, smoking habits, or drinking habits, or whether the respondents had symptoms of hypertension, diabetes, asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, or kidney disease. The exposure group had significantly higher total blood arsenic concentrations in the blood and total inorganic arsenic metabolites in the urine than the control group (p＜0.05). Total arsenic concentrations in air samples were significantly correlated with As(V) in urine (p=0.014); there was no significant correlation, however, between total arsenic concentrations in the air and total arsenic concentrations in the blood, urinary trivalent arsenic, urinary inorganic arsenic, urinary monomethyl arsenate, urinary dimethyl arsenate, or urinary inorganic arsenic metabolites.
