Background: Air pollution is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanisms are not clear yet. Aims: We investigated occupational air pollution exposure and endothelial function among workers of the steel industry. Methods: Workers of the coke-making part of the Esfahan Steel Company and workers in the administrative parts with no known history of cardiovascular risks were studied. Data of age, body mass index, duration of employment, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, and lipid profile were gathered. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was measured to evaluate endothelial function. Results: Baseline brachial artery diameter was greater (mean difference [95% CI] = 0.068 mm [0.008 to 0.128]), but the FMD was lower (mean difference [95% CI] = -0.908 % [-1.740 to -0.075]) in the coke-making group compared with controls. Controlling for possible confounders, working in the coke-making part of the industry was associated with lower FMD (F = 3.954, P = 0.049). Conclusions: These results show that occupational air pollution exposure in workers of the steel industry is associated with impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
