Disease burden due to biomass cooking-fuel-related household air pollution among women in India
Background Household air pollution (HAP) due to biomass cooking fuel use is an important risk factor for a range of diseases, especially among adult women who are primary cooks, in India. About 80% of rural households in India use biomass fuel for cooking. The aim of this study is to estimate the attributable cases (AC) for four major diseases/conditions associated with biomass cooking fuel use...
متن کاملThe Global Burden of Air Pollution on Mortality: The Need to Include Exposure to Household Biomass Fuel–Derived Particulates
Anenberg et al. (2010) demonstrated that global mortality associated with outdoor ozone and particulate matter (PM) exposure has been under estimated and that anthropogenic atmospheric PM rather than ozone is the main contributor to death. Although we acknowledge that their investigation was concerned with outdoor air pollution alone, we feel that attention should be drawn to the burden of dise...
متن کاملSolid biomass fuel: indoor air pollution and health effects.
ndoor air pollution in developing world from bio-mass smoke is considered to be a significant source of public health hazard, particularly to the poor and vulnerable women and children. About 50 % of the world's population is estimated to use solid bio-fuels like animal dung, crop residues, wood and coal for cooking daily meals and heating homes. Exposure from bio-mass smoke is estimated to cau...

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...
