What major health concern was highlighted by rheumatologists at IRACON 2025 in Delhi?

Traditionally considered a genetic or immune-mediated condition, RA is now being associated with environmental triggers like toxic air. Doctors from AIIMS, Fortis, and other leading hospitals cited rising cases among individuals with no family history of autoimmune disease. Pollutants are said to cause systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and autoantibody production, accelerating joint damage. This emerging link has been described as a 'public health emergency' requiring urgent policy attention.
