Allpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have a hightoxicity, and/or carcinogenic and \ormutagenic to most microorganisms andhumans.Main aim to this study is to providecontemporary information (quantitative and qualitative)PAHs in sera of fuel stations, workers whom exposure with petroleum products.The study includes 60 male petrol-filling workers in 5 petrol stations around Baghdad. Theirages were between (20 – 50) years. For compared the results a 30 sera samples from healthyindividuals was collected with corresponding age-matched as control group. The samples werecollected from October 2017 until April 2018. The BMI was calculated for all subjects.Technique of High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect thepresence of PAHs quantitatively and qualitatively in the sera of all subjects.The mean level of total PAHs in sera of workers was 1275.65± 934.267 higher than that forhealthy subjects 67.380 ± 46.16 with significant value p=0.033.Also the types and percent ofPAHs in the sera of workers were differ.For studying the epidemiologic,no correlation betweenthe percent of % PAHs in sera of workers who exposure to petroleum withoutaffected withtheirage and BMI.
