What major health concern was highlighted by rheumatologists at IRACON 2025 in Delhi?
Pollution may be triggering Rheumatoid ArthritisAt the 40th Annual Conference of the Indian Rheumatology Association (IRACON 2025), experts warned that air pollution—especially PM2.5—is increasingly linked to the onset and worsening of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Traditionally considered a genetic or immune-mediated condition, RA is now being associated with environmental triggers like traffic-related pollutants. Doctors from AIIMS and other leading hospitals cited rising cases among young patients with no family history of autoimmune disorders. The pollutants are believed to cause systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which activate abnormal immune responses. This emerging link has been described as a 'public health emergency' requiring urgent policy attention.
