This study investigated the levels of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) in male smokers in Sirte City. Serum samples were collected from 58 male participants, including 30 smokers and 28 non-smokers (controls), aged 25 to 50 years. The blood samples were analyzed using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). The results indicated that lead concentration was significantly higher in the serum of smokers compared to non- smokers. Additionally, the cadmium concentration in smokers was more than 74 times that of non-smokers. However, there were no significant differences in mercury levels between the two groups.
