1 study
  1. Sanitation work decreases telomere length in humans (P < 0.05).

    “Moreover, the lymphocyte count (LYM), serum albumin concentration (ALB), and TL were found to be lower in the sanitation workers compared to the controls (P < 0.05).”

1 study
  1. Sanitation work increases inflammation in humans.

    “The systemic inflammatory index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly elevated in the sanitation workers in comparison to the controls.”
