ruqaiyya07jk07raaz: Blue baby syndrome can be caused by nitrates in drinking water leading to methemoglobinemia. Nitrates from polluted drinking water form compounds in the body that change haemoglobin to methaemoglobin, decreasing the ability of blood to carry oxygen. In infants, the condition can be fatal

Hey there!!
ur answer is here...

4. methemoglobinemia.

Blue baby syndrome, also known as infant methemoglobinemia, is a condition where a baby's skin turns blue. This occurs due to a decreased amount of hemoglobin in the baby's blood.

Hemoglobin is a blood protein that is responsible for carrying oxygen around the body and delivering it to the different cells and tissues.

When the blood is unable to carry oxygen around the body, the baby turns blue (cyanotic).

Blue baby syndrome is rare in industrialized countries, but it does occasionally occur in rural areas. Babies born in developing countries with poor water supply continue to be at risk for the condition.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU....
