Abstract

The purposes of the study was to investigate the impact of exposure to the exhausts of electricity generators that operate with gasoline or gas on some biochemical measurements as an indicator of public health.  As a comparison group of people and animals far from the exhaust of electricity generators, as well as a group of experimental animals (Rabbits), blood samples were taken from both groups to perform some biochemical analysis. Creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, glomerular filtration rate, cholesterol, vitamin C, total protein, glutathione, insulin, and alkaline phosphatase.  The findings revealed a notable increase in all previous values among the persons who were exposed to the exhausts of generators, compared to ones were not exposed to exhausts. Also, increase in the levels of all above mentioned parameters in rabbits that were exposed to generator exhausts were noticed compared to the rabbit group that were not exposed to these exhausts.
