Background Household air pollution (HAP) from solid fuel use is associated with adverse
birth outcomes, but data for exposure–response relationships are scarce. We examined …

Epidemiological studies during the past few decades have associated numerous ailments
with both acute and chronic exposures to air pollutants (Fig. 1). Fine particulate matter …

Background While a few studies have tried to estimate the economic burden of
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) associated with air pollution, most previous studies …

Exposure to ambient air pollution is a major global health risk factor. Using recently updated
hazard ratio functions, we estimate that the global premature mortality burden attributable to …

subpopulations (eg infants, women), are important pieces of information for defining …

Background: Exposure to household air pollution (HAP) from inefficient biomass and coal
stoves kills nearly 4 million people every year worldwide. HAP is an environmental risk …
