A 10 μg/m3 rise in ambient PM 2.5 exposure caused a 0.07 g/dL decrease in average haemoglobin count

Exposure to higher levels of particulate matter 2.5 in ambient air can result in anaemia in children under five years, according to a study by Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.

Malnutrition and anaemia are rampant in India, with 60 per cent of the children being anaemic as of 2016, according to the National Family and Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4).

Anaemic conditions in children worsened because of the high concentration of particulate matter 2.5 in the ambient air, showed the paper published in Environmental Epidemiology.

For every 10 microgram per cubic metre (μg/m3) rise in ambient PM 2.5 exposure, a 0.07 gram per decilitre decrease in average haemoglobin (Hb) count was observed. Further, for every 10 μg/m3 increase in ambient PM 2.5, there was an almost 2 per cent increase in average anemia prevalence.
