dc.description.abstractOwing to rapid population growth and industrialization, the situation of air pollution has become a public health threat of global concern. White blood cells, also known as leukocytes or leucocytes, are immune system cells that assist in defending the body against infectious diseases and foreign intruders. White blood cells are a component of the immunological system of the body. They support the body's defense mechanisms against illness and infection. Infection or inflammation are the usual causes of an overabundance of white blood cells. A high white blood cell count may, less frequently, be a sign of some blood malignancies or bone marrow issues. Although immune system inflammatory reactions might be linked with alterations in white blood cell counts in the body, there is the need to provide more consistent reporting on the association between air pollution and varying white blood cell counts in the body
