The aim of this study was to investigate the respiratory enzymatic changes among workers in glue industries. Blood and urine samples were collected from 30 exposed workers and 30 age and sex matched control subject from the administrative department of the same factory. Different respiratory enzymes were analyzed in blood. The level of urinary phenol was also determined. The median level of different respiratory enzymes (catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and carbonic unhydrase) were significantly higher in the exposed workers compared to control subjects. Also the median level of urinary phenol was significantly higher in exposed workers compared with that of controls. Attention should be paid to the different occupational health hazard, existing in different types of glue industries.
