Toxicological profile and potential health concerns through metals and trace elements exposure in brick kiln workers from Lahore, Pakistan
This study examined levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), and arsenic (As) in blood, hair, and nails of 18 brick kiln workers from three brick kiln units located around a metropolitan city, Lahore, Pakistan. All the trace elements except Hg and As were detected in the studied matrices of Brick kiln workers. In general, brick kiln workers reflect the highest concentration of Pb, followed by Cd, Cr, and Cu. Of the pollutants analyzed, Pb has the highest mean (min –max) concentrations at 0.35 (0.09–0.65) in blood (μg/mL), 0.34 (0.14–0.71) in hairs (μg/g), and 0.44 (0.32–0.59)...
