Abstract
Objective: This project aims to enhance the occupational health insurance for coke oven workers. Methods: A total of 136 coke oven emissions workers and 61 oxygen plant workers were recruited to receive physical examinations. The coke oven emissions concentration at the workplace was measured by weighing method. The CC16 concentration was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Logistic regression analysis revealed that exposure to coke oven emissions was correlated with CC16. Correlation analysis revealed that CC16 was related to some physical examination indicators. Multivariate general linear models showed that CC16 was indeed positively correlated with albumin after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions: Coke oven emissions affected multiple tissues and multiple systems. The blood system might be the earliest system affected and could be detected by the CC16 protein concentration.
