Why is it important?
* Although lead activities are widely spread in Gaza Strip, this study was the first to assess lead in gasoline station workers and relates it to awareness aspects of workers in Gaza Strip. * Measurements of blood lead level and relate it to awareness of gasoline station workers would be helpful in lead prevention programs. * Research on blood lead level in gasoline workers and its relation to awareness programs is limited in the literature.
Perspectives
I hope this article will raise knowledge and awareness of the people, particularly those involved in lead activities, towards the health hazards of lead exposure.
