Genotoxic Effect of Lead and Cadmium on Workers at Wastewater Plant in Iraq

<div>The correlation between years of working with the lead concentration and other variables’ (<i>δ</i>-ALAD, U<i>δ</i>-ALA, and 8-OHdG) level with lead concentration. (a) It is clear that the level of lead rises with the increase in the duration of working at the wastewater treatment plant; a statistically significant positive correlation is seen. (b) Inverse relation between lead level and erythrocyte <i>δ</i>-ALAD activity. (c, d) A pattern of positive correlation between U<i>δ</i>-ALA and 8-OHdG with lead concentration, respectively.</div>
