Background
Household air pollution from biomass cookstoves is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, yet little is known about exposures to nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Objective
To characterize NO2 kitchen area concentrations and personal exposures among women with biomass cookstoves in the Peruvian Andes.
Methods
We measured kitchen area NO2 concentrations at high‐temporal resolution...
Assessment of personal exposure to PM2.5 is critical for understanding intervention effectiveness and exposure‐response relationships in household air pollution studies. In this pilot study, we compared PM2.5 concentrations obtained from two next‐generation personal exposure monitors (the Enhanced Children MicroPEM or ECM; and the Ultrasonic Personal Air Sampler or UPAS) to those obtained with a traditional...
Context Observational studies investigating household air pollution (HAP) exposure to biomass fuel smoke as a risk factor for pulmonary tuberculosis have reported inconsistent results. Objective To evaluate the association between HAP exposure and the prevalence of self-reported previous pulmonary tuberculosis. Design We analyzed pooled data including 12,592 individuals from five population-based...
Background Biomass fuel smoke is a leading risk factor for the burden of disease worldwide. International campaigns are promoting the widespread adoption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in resource-limited settings. However, it is unclear if the introduction and use of LPG stoves, in settings where biomass fuels are used daily, reduces pollution concentration exposure, improves health outcomes, or...
