In order to show the alteration of blood pressure in subjects chronically exposed to natural gas containing sulfur compounds, the present study was done. The blood pressure of 94 (43 males, 51 females) of healthy individuals living in the polluted area of Masjid-i-Sulaiman (Khozestan province, southwest of Iran) was measured. The non-parametric Sign test was applied in order to detect differences between the study subjects and the normal mean values according to the sex and age of subjects. Statistical analysis showed that the systolic blood pressure significantly decreased (Z=-2.74; P=0.0031) while the diastolic blood pressure (Z=+2.11; P=0.0174) and heart rate (Z=+3.62; P<0.001) significantly increased in individuals living in the contaminated areas compared with those of normal mean values. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased and increased, respectively, in individuals chronically exposed to natural sour gas containing sulfur compounds.
