AB  - Health effects from air pollution are severe concern of today's world. The study 
      was undertaken to assess the effects of air pollution on hematological profiles 
      of trained and untrained males of West Bengal. The sample consisted of 60 
      sprinters, 60 footballers, and 120 untrained males, subdivided into two groups 
      from two zones, namely, Tollygunge and Sonarpur. Suspended particulate matter 
      (SPM), respirable particulate matter (RPM), oxides of sulfur (SOx), and oxides of 
      nitrogen (NOx) of ambient air were monitored for both zones. Height and weight of 
      all the subjects were measured. Venous blood sample was drawn from the cubital 
      vein, and the red blood cell count (TC), packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin 
      (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular 
      hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were determined by standard methods. Results 
      revealed that SPM, RPM, SOx, and NOx concentrations were significantly higher in 
      the Tollygunge area than Sonarpur. TC, PCV, and Hb concentration of untrained 
      males were significantly higher than footballers in both regions but no 
      significant difference were observed when compared with sprinters, except the Hb 
      concentration in the Tollygunge zone. On the other hand, all hematological 
      parameters of both trained and untrained males were significantly higher in the 
      Sonarpur area than Tollygunge. It was concluded that environmental air pollutants 
      might influence hematological profile adversely both in trained and sedentary 
      males. However, further investigation in this area is needed.
