The results showed four-week B-vitamin supplementation may reduce the damage caused by exposure to the particles PM2.5, particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 um or less, by between 28 percent and 76 percent.
Zhong told Xinhua that the study is still in its early stage and that currently they were unable to recommend the supplementation of B vitamins.
Instead, she suggested maintaining a healthy, balanced diet with sufficient sources of B vitamins.
Overall, such supplementation should be considered based on an individual's self-condition and in consult with a doctor's recommendation, she added.
"While emission control and regulation is the backbone of prevention, high exposures are, unfortunately, the rule still in many megacities throughout the world," study author Andrea Baccarelli, professor and chair of Environmental Health Sciences at the Mailman School, said in a statement.
"As individuals, we have limited options to protect ourselves against air pollution. Future studies, especially in heavily polluted areas, are urgently needed to validate our findings and ultimately develop preventive interventions using B vitamins to contain the health effects of air pollution," said Baccarelli.
