Abstract | ||
A blood sample of 120 healthy students [60 male and 60 female] where live in Basra province was tested to study the effect of some environmental changes [temperature and humidity] on haemoglobin concentration. Two samples of venous blood were collected from each student during February and June 2012. Hb was estimated by Cyanmethemoglobin method. The results show no significant differences between the two samples collected. The present study suggested that long term exposure to hot and humid climate does not affect total haemoglobin concentration. | ||
