Selenium Concentration in Serum and Hair of Petrol Station Workers in Van Province / Turkey

Selenium has been found to show protective properties against different toxic effects. Petrol station workers are exposed to many harmful effects. Therefore, we aimed to determine the selenium level in hair and serum specimens of the oil station workers. A total of 100 petrol station workers and 100 office workers were included in the study. Selenium concentration in hair and serum samples of this people was determined using an ICP-OES instrument.Se amount (0.456 ± 0.348) in hair samples of petrol station workers were higher than that of the petrol station staff (0.340 ± 0.191), however this difference was insignificant (p=0.278) Serum selenium concentration in petrol station workers (22.30± 3.37) was significantly lower than that of the control group (24.680 ± 3.08) (p = 0.031), which may be due to inclusion of selenium in detoxification owing to exposure to various chemicals by the workers. Thus, selenium supplementation can be recommended in their diet.
