Background: Indonesia ranks third in the world regarding air pollution due to forest and land fires; most of burned is a peatland. Particulate matter (PM) 2.5 largest component total smoke particles. Short-term long-term exposure PM2.5 remains hazard human health.Objective: This study aims examine effect peat biomass on serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels body weight Wistar rats.Methods: Experimental animals were randomly divided into three groups: Control group (C) not given treatment, treatment groups (X1 X2) are exposed from 100 g 150 for 60 seconds per day 14 days. The was examined before after while Serum MDA treatment.Results: results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between groups. highest found X2 (3.03 ± 0.185 nmol/ml), followed by X1 (2.67 0.212 nmol/ml) compared control (2.24 0.476 nmol/ml). In contrast, increasing did show difference.Conclusion: Exposure PM increases oxidative stress experimental animals.
