National burden of disease in India from indoor air pollution.
In the last decade, a number of quantitative epidemiological studies of specific diseases have been done in developing countries that for the first time allow estimation of the total burden of disease (mortality and morbidity) attributable to use of solid fuels in adult women and young children, who jointly receive the highest exposures because of their household roles.

Yet many have noted the greater policy significance of avoidable burden, or the future disease that could actually be eliminated if a risk f...
متن کاملHousehold Cooking with Solid Fuels Contributes to Ambient PM2.5 Air Pollution and the Burden of Disease
BACKGROUND Approximately 2.8 billion people cook with solid fuels. Research has focused on the health impacts of indoor exposure to fine particulate pollution. Here, for the 2010 Global Burden of Disease project (GBD 2010), we evaluated the impact of household cooking with solid fuels on regional population-weighted ambient PM2.5 (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm) pollution (APM2.5). OBJECTIVES We...

متن کاملAir Pollution, Oxidative Stress, and Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia affecting millions of people worldwide and will continue to affect millions more with population aging on the rise. AD causality is multifactorial. Known causal factors include genetic predisposition, age, and sex. Environmental toxins such as air pollution (AP) have also been implicated in AD causation. Exposure to AP can lead to chr...
