Background: The printing industry is one of the largest and most geographically diverse manufacturing industries in
the world. In the printing industry, volatile organic compounds main sources of chemical hazards associated with the

toxic chemicals are significant contributors to the human health effects.
Materials and methods: In this prospective study conducted in local printing company with two groups; the control
group included (26) male healthy volunteer donors and the second is the workers group included (26) male volunteer
workers, who have been exposed to chemicals for long time (10 years). Blood samples were obtained to evaluate
