Abstract:

Smoking is the most spreadable habit between people on earth surface impacting human body functions and causing health risks. Our study aimed to estimate cadmium, lead, and iron concentrations in the blood of hookah (Shisha) smokers compared to non-smokers. This project was conducted over a period of time between October (2017) to February (2018) in Najaf province. This period was used to determine the effect of hookah smoking period on heavy elements depositions in blood and organs of our samples compared to non- smoking individuals. Forty samples of healthy men were measured as a total, divided into 30 samples of smokers and 10 non-smokers. Their age s average was 45 years. Cadmium, lead, and iron concentrations were measured in each individual serum. Kidney functions; blood urea, creatinine, and glucose were also examined in their blood. Moreover, liver functions tests including ALT (Alanine aminotransferase), AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) were also investigated. Our results exhibit a trend of an increase in blood platelets, leukocytes and hemoglobin values in smokers compared to non-smokers. Decreasing in red blood cells in smokers compared with non-smokers was also found. High levels of kidney and liver functions tests in blood of smokers compared to non-smokers were found. There was a high concentration of heavy metals (cadmium and lead) in smoker s blood compared to non-smokers. Our study concluded that there were high levels of heavy metals between smokers under the age ranging between 18-30 years. Also, the smoking period had a significant effect on the accumulation of heavy elements in their body. More studies focusing on the relationship between organs functions (e.g. lung) and heavy metals could support our findings. This could help to elucidate the consequences of smoking Hookah on human health.
