BHs are sources of neutrinos in mass eigenstates. The PBH evaporation depends on whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles. In the Dirac scenario, there is not a helicity suppression of the emission of righthanded neutrinos. We derived a constraint on the initial PBH fraction given the measurement of Neff by Planck. For certain values, it is possible to ease the Hubble measurement tension. The diffuse flux of RH neutrinos can be large, but more careful analysis on its possible detection should be performed.
