| Abstract | Particulate matter such as hydrocarbons, sulfur oxides (SOx), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) dominate air pollutants released from vehicle emission and are notorious for their adverse health effects. High concentrations of traffic-related air pollutants in urban areas are sometimes neglected by society despite being harmful to human health. This study aimed to discover the blood markers of traffic-related particulate matter in humans. The study collected traffic-related particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) data from 32 mechanics working in vehicle emission test stations in Pulo Gadung and Ujung Menteng, Jakarta. Every measurement was made according to the Environmental Protection Agency Isopropil Alcohol 10A (EPA IP 10 A) method. Blood and urine samples were collected from 43 mechanics as an exposed group and 23 non-exposed workers as a control. Profile lipid, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total Imunoglobin (IgE), calcium, and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNFα) in blood were measured in all 66 samples. Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) was detected in 21 exposed group samples using a liquid chromatography fluorescence detector. As a result, the mean concentration of PM2.5 from mechanics was 306.91 ± 99.19 µg/m3. Independent t-test results of the biochemical analysis from blood examination within those groups showed a significant difference in several parameters such as triglyceride (p = 0.005), HbA1c NGSP (p = 0.01), HbA1c IFFC (p = 0.01), total IgE (p = 0.02), calcium (p = 0.03), and TNFα (p = 0.00). Total cholesterol and personal PM2.5 exposure showed a moderate correlation with r = 0.355 (p = 0.046). Urinary 1-OHP mean concentration from the exposed group was 21.61 ± 10 µg/L. In conclusion, HbA1c, IgE, and TNFα can be considered as a blood marker for long exposure to PM2.5, while further study is needed to determine the possibility of using 1-OHP as non-invasive method to detect the particulate matter exposure in humans, particularly from traffic-related sources. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
