Highlights: [•] Chemicals in anesthetic gases may pollute operating rooms with exposure for workers. [•] Inhaled anesthetics undergo processes of metabolism and interact with target organs. [•] The link between health effects and occupational exposure to anesthetics is unclear. [•] We study whether exposure to anesthetics alter blood parameters in exposed workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
