“…The poorly refined M-Oil can be classified as a carcinogenic component according to the IARC classification. However, M-Oil usually contains various components such as oils, biocides, surfactants, antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors, which have potential allergenic and irritant properties (Geraut et al, 2011). During immune responses, macrophages release pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukins (IL)-6 and -1β, and tumour necrosis factor-α (Hiraiwa and Van Eeden, 2013).…”

Exposure to aerosols has been found to be linked to respiratory impairment. Although the effects of both indoor and outdoor exposures to particulates have been extensively reported, exposures to mists are less studied. Herein, we reported a survey of mineral oil mist toxicity in an occupational exposure scenario. For the purpose of this study, 65 lathe workers of the metal processing industry, as mineral oil mist–exposed population, were studied. Thereafter, the participants’ age, smoking habits and work experience were matched with those of the control workers ( n = 65) who were not occupationally exposed to mist. Thereafter, air samples were evaluated from the breathing zone of the workers using NIOSH method 5026. Plasma Interleukin-1β as a pro-inflammatory indicator was assessed in all the studied subjects. Mean ± standard deviation of mineral oil mist time-weighted average exposure in lathe workers was 7.10± 3.49 mg/m3. IL-1β cytokine levels were significantly higher in the lathe groups compared to the control group. The mean level of Interleukin-1β in the control subjects (2922 pg/L) was selected as the cut-off point of the inflammation effect. Based on this pro-inflammatory point, the results of monitoring showed that 60% of the exposed were affected. A Spearman correlation was also found between mineral oil mist exposure and inflammation in the affected subjects. Our findings highlighted the immunological potential of mineral oil mist in occupational exposure. Overall, the results of this study suggested that Interleukin-1β evaluation in mineral oil mist exposure could be considered as both an acute and chronic inflammation marker.
