increase SBP. However, this study did not consider many probable confounders. In our study, DBP was higher in groups 2 and 3 than in the control group, but this difference was not significant. In a study by Egeland et al. (16) involving
410 male textile workers, 165 of whom were exposed and 245 not exposed to carbon disulphide (CS2), SPB
was not affected by exposure but diastolic blood pressure was. Kaukiainen et al. (12) studied 26 workers with chronic exposure to organic solvents and 19 unexposed volunteer workers. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, sex, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and BMI, SBP turned out to be significantly higher in the exposed workers,
suggesting that lifetime exposure to organic solvents can increase systolic blood pressure. In our study, the prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension was significantly higher in the exposed groups (2 and 3) compared to the control group.
Regression analysis with eliminating confounding factors confirmed the correlation between hypertension and exposure to a mixture of solvents. Compared to the group with no exposure, the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension was 3.00 in the group with exposure above the permitted level, and 2.36 in the group with exposure within the permitted range.
