“…Since the study participants were males, mostly young and non-smokers, they provided an extra advantage in terms of safety in blood donation. In contrast, women are at higher risk of developing post-blood-donation adversities, and smokers risk heavy metal concentration (e.g., nickel, lead) in their blood [ 25 , 26 ]. One study found that concentrations of cadmium, lead, and nickel in the blood of smokers and non-smokers were significantly correlated [ 26 ].…”

“…The characteristics of the children were summarized with percent- Interaction terms with sex and age of onset were included in the Cox models to test if fetal exposures to heavy metals had different effects in males and in females or at different ages, that is, infancy (0-3 years] vs early childhood (3-8 years]. Moreover, as Cd levels are strongly correlated with smoking, 20 we also tested the interactions between maternal smoking and Cd in maternal/cord blood on the incidence of atopic diseases.…”

Background Accumulating evidence suggests that in utero exposures can influence the development of the immune system and thus contribute to disease development. Studies investigating the association between prenatal exposures to heavy metals and atopic diseases, however, are scarce. Methods Children from the EDEN birth cohort were prospectively followed up using parental questionnaires with validated questions on asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and food allergy symptoms. The questionnaires were administered every 4 months during the children's first year, and then every year until the age of 5, with a final survey at the age of 8. Serum concentrations of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and manganese (Mn) were assessed in maternal blood samples collected during mid‐pregnancy and in cord blood of 651 mother‐children pairs. Hazard ratios (HR) for the incidence of each atopic disease in relation to the exposure to metals were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models. Results Levels of Cd in cord blood were associated with greater risk of asthma (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] for upper vs lower quartile: 1.81 [1.00‐3.29]), eczema (1.60 [1.09‐2.35]), and food allergy (3.17 [1.36‐7.38]), while Mn levels in maternal serum were associated with eczema (1.55 [1.05‐2.28]). These associations were similar in males and females and were confirmed using log concentrations of metals as exposures. Conclusions Our results support the hypothesis that fetal exposure to heavy metals may affect the development of asthma, eczema, and food allergy in childhood and suggest that timing of exposure in utero may have a role in these associations.

“…More study have been reported that one cigarette contains about 0.5 -2 mg of cadmium and that about 10% of the cadmium content is inhaled when the cigarette is smoked. Smokers generally exhibit higher concentration of cadmium than non-smokers [26,27]. Smokers and non-smokers are medicated by medicine Surbex Z for one week.…”

Cigarette smoking is considered as addictive and destructive behaviour. It creates health problems and variation in different parameters of blood. Cigarette smoking also causes environmental pollution by releasing toxic air pollutants into the atmosphere. Analysis of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Iron (Fe) in blood of smokers and non-smokers was done by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and there was also comparison of effect of cigarette smoking on haemoglobin (Hb) between smokers and non-smokers before and after medication. Samples of smokers and non-smokers were collected from different areas of Lahore. After experimentation, statistics applied for conclusion. Samples of smokers and non-smokers were collected to compare the effect of smoking on Hb before and after medication. Smokers and non-smokers were medicated by medicine Surbex Z for one week. The Hb level of smokers and nonsmokers was noted before and after medication. Time duration has been taken into account for effective medication.
