Background Exposure to biomass fuel smoke is one of the leading risk factors for disease
burden worldwide. International campaigns are currently promoting the widespread …

An ancient health hazard—smoke from household cooking—has risen to the forefront of
global environmental health concerns over the past few years. A surge of epidemiological …

Background: In India, approximately 66% of households rely on dung or woody biomass as
fuels for cooking. These fuels are burned under inefficient conditions, leading to household …

Global efforts are underway to develop and promote improved cookstoves which may
reduce the negative health and environmental effects of burning solid fuels on health and …

Globally, household and ambient air pollution (HAAP) leads to approximately seven million
premature deaths per year. One of the main sources of household air pollution (HAP) is the …

Household air pollution (HAP), primarily from biomass fuels used for cooking, is associated
with adverse health outcomes and premature mortality. It affects almost half of the world's …

Background Growing evidence links household air pollution exposure from biomass-burning
cookstoves to cardiometabolic disease risk. Few randomized controlled interventions of …

The burning of biomass (wood, dung, charcoal, etc.) for cooking and heating is widespread
throughout the world and is a major contributor to household air pollution (HAP). Biomass …

Exposure to household air pollution is estimated to be the 3rd largest contributor to the
global burden of disease and the largest contributor in South Asia. Unacceptability of …

This paper studies a topic in the triangle of environment, development and health—the
