The effect of sulfuric eyes on the blood and hormonal components of the people who live near them in the district of Heet

Abstract

This study was conducted for the period between (September 11, 2018) to (October 31, 2018) in Heet District / Anbar Governorate, on sulfur springs located in the Al-Jabal region (Al-Khader neighborhood), and it included a study of the effects of sulfur eyes on the blood and hormonal study of people Who live near it. This study included (100) females and males , and it was divided randomly into five groups (males and females) separately, and each group included (10 females and 10 males) and their ages ranged from 18 to 50 years. It included the following groups:- the groups were divided into five groups, the first group:- (control group) people who are away from the sulfur springs between (100 - 200) meter, the second Group:- People who are 10 meters away from sulfur springs. the third group:- People who are 30 meters away from the sulfur springs, Fourth group:- People who are 50 meters away from sulfur springs and Fifth group:- People who are 70 meters away from sulfur springs The results of the effect of hydrogen sulfide H2S gas emitted from the sulfur eye showed significant increase (P≤0.05) in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the second and third group compared to the control group, and also a significant increase in the number of blood platelets in the third and fifth group, a significant increase was also recorded in the number of white blood cells in fifth group only. The presence of significant differences in the concentration of malondialhyde for the specified distances compared to the control It was observed that there was a significant increase (P≤0.05) in the group located at a distance of (second, third, fourth and fifth) groups in the groups of females compared to the control group and the males group. There were no significant differences after (third and fifth) in the males group compared to the control group. There are significant differences in the concentration of glutathione for the specified distances compared to the control. It was observed that there was a significant decrease (P≤0.05) in the group located at third and fourth groups compared to the control group. there were no significant differences at (second and fifth) groups compared to the control group and other groups. The effect of sulfur eyes on hormonal changes in people living near sulfur eyes, it was found that there was a significant decrease in (second , third and fourth ) groups for testosterone compared to the control group. The same applies to the hormone progesterone, a significant decrease in (second and fourth) groups. As for the results of the field research, the observations showed a significant increase(P≤0.05) in the amount of hydrogen sulfide gas in the area near the sulfur spring, as it has a clear effect. Some people who live near it have been observed with genetic and pathological symptoms such as eye inflammation and redness, as well as there are respiratory problems and allergies in the trachea, and there are problems with the sense of smell and taste. It was noted that there are some genetic diseases on some children.
