Abstract
This study includes determination of the effect of high temperature on the serum electrolytes and trace elements in thirty workers of furnace in Ramadi glass factory (Anbar – Iraq). Thirty technicians and administrators for interior control and thirty volunteers as external control. From the results of this study we observed that: K and P decreased significantly (P< 0.01), Mg remained within the normal value,Fe increased significantly (p<0.01) and Cu decreased significantly (P < 0.01) , Zn/Cu ratio increased significantly (P < 0.01) . In conclusion, this study indicates that: the exposure to high temperature causes changes in the compositions of some constituents of blood.
