Findings suggest if India is able to meet clean air targets, anaemia prevalence among women in the reproductive age would fall from 53 per cent to about 39 per cent

Long-term exposure to air pollution could contribute to anaemia among women of reproductive age through systemic inflammation triggered by inhalation of tiny particulate matter (PM) smaller than 2.5 microns, researchers have cautioned.

A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, and St John’s Medical College, Bangalore, has established a correlation between exposure to PM2.5 and anaemia prevalence in women aged between 15 and 49 years.

India has the highest prevalence of anaemia among women in this age group — an average 53 per cent — and efforts to combat anaemia through iron supplementation appear to have had limited impact on the prevalence.Now, the IIT-St John’s team has found that for every 10 microgram per cubic metre increase in exposure to PM2.5, the average anaemia prevalence among women in the reproductive age increases by about 7 per cent.

The study, led by Sagnik Dey, assistant professor at the Centre for Atmospheric Sciences at the IIT and Santu Ghosh, assistant professor of biostatistics at St John’s, has indicated that exposure to sulfate and black carbon particles were more associated with anaemia than tiny organic or dust particles.
