ABSTRACT
Objective: Mining areas and associated industrial activities carry considerable risks for human health due to multi-pathway exposure of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead. The objective of this study was to compare arsenic and lead levels in human blood and hair samples in an industrial mining area in northwestern Turkey with that of a non-exposed group demonstrating similar sociocultural characteristics.

Material and Method: The population of the study consisted of 674 nonsmoker women over the age of 40 who were selected on a random basis from mine region and control area. Venous blood samples were taken and analyzed for blood lead and arsenic levels in all participants. Hair samples were later collected from 108 women with high levels in blood samples.

Results: The results showed that the highest prevalence of occurrences was found in district centers whereas relatively lower values were observed in the villages. Hair arsenic and lead levels were comparably higher in the industrialized area (Çan Region) where low-quality coal combustion used in power generation and residential heating were dominant.

Conclusion: Although high correlations were not found, blood and hair arsenic and lead levels in individuals living in industrial and agricultural areas were found to be high at levels influencing the human health. On the other hand, these results should be further supported and verified with advanced and long duration monitoring activities.
