Since exposures to hazardous conditions in industrial environments often results in sundry health effects among workers, we embarked on this study to investigate the hepatic health effects of occupational activities in the petroleum refining and distribution industry.

Method: Biochemical markers of liver functions were assayed in plasma, using Reflotron dry chemistry spectrophotometric system.
