The present investigations indicate that air pollution is associated with several chronic diseases. A prospective study was conducted to investigate changes in blood parameters in response to daily changes in air pollution in Karachi city. Several clinical visits were scheduled and blood parameters were measured in 64 males and 16 females during 2008-2009. Eighty samples of blood were collected from different areas of Karachi, classified on the basis of pollution such as highly polluted areas, moderate polluted and less polluted areas.
