This research study investigates hourly data on concentrations of five major air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM, PM) and gaseous pollutants (SO, NO, CO) measured during 2022 at four hotspot sites (industrial site, traffic site, commercial site, harbour, and one residential site) in Chennai, India. The analysis encompasses temporal variations spanning annual, seasonal, and diurnal variations in the pollutants. Notably, PM and CO emerge as the predominant pollutants, with the highest concentrations at industrial and traffic sites (PM: 67.

However, the clinical utility of this labor-intensive test in the reference laboratory has not been examined. The objective of this study is to assess hematologic abnormalities identified in CPSR orders and to correlate them with complete blood count (CBC) and laboratory-derived smear review (LDSR) in the reference laboratory.
