Chemical and biological hazards may have serious implications on the exposed individuals and a wealth of quality-ensured guidance and information for health care workers is available on the internet. Harmful chemicals can get into the body if you breathe, eat, or drink them or if they are absorbed through the skin. Study group was 20-person Exposure to Occupational Chemicals in chemistry department at Koya university for more than 5 years. In addition, the study includes 20 subject as control group in this study. The blood was drawn into test tubes to estimation of lipid profile, liver parameters, kidney function tests and heavy metal. Full automatic chemical analyzer (Cobas C311) was used to determine the biochemical parameters and atomic absorption was used to estimate the heavy metals. The results showed significant decrease in ALT, AST, albumin and triglyceride, and non-significant difference in total protein, total bilirubin, cholesterol, urea, creatinine, uric acid, Hg and Pb in case group as compared to control group.
