Men users of LPG stoves have more frequency of respiratory symptoms than users of biomass fuel stoves at Ayacucho, Peru (2750 masl)
(Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, 2019)
ABSTRACT. Rationale: Peru has around 9 million of households. In 30% of them biomass fuel stoves is used to prepare meals. Respiratory diseases as chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma are more frequent in people using ...
Adherence to reduced-polluting biomass fuel stoves improves respiratory and sleep symptoms in children
(BMC, 2014)
Background: Symptoms of sleep apnea are markedly increased in children exposed to smoke from biomass fuels and are reduced by kitchen stoves that improve indoor biomass pollution. However, the impact of adherence to the ...

(BioMed Central, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Symptoms of sleep apnea are markedly increased in children exposed to smoke from biomass fuels and are reduced by kitchen stoves that improve indoor biomass pollution. However, the impact of adherence to the ...
Biomass Pollution, Chimney Stove Interventions, and Discrepant Outcomes
(Elsevier, 2015)
In the study by Guarnieri et al1 in this issue of CHEST (see page 1184), the authors reported no evidence for an association between lung function and early randomization to a chimney stove intervention. These findings ...
Design and rationale of the HAPIN study: a multicountry randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of liquefied petroleum gas stove and continuous fuel distribution
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2020)
BACKGROUND: Globally, nearly 3 billion people rely on solid fuels for cooking and heating, the vast majority residing in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The resulting household air pollution (HAP) is a leading ...
Household air pollution and blood markers of inflammation: A cross-sectional analysis
(Wiley, 2021)
Household air pollution (HAP) from biomass stoves is a leading risk factor for cardiopulmonary outcomes; however, its toxicity pathways and relationship with inflammation markers are poorly understood. Among 180 adult ...
Behavioral attitudes and preferences in cooking practices with traditional open-fire stoves in Peru, Nepal, and Kenya: Implications for improved cookstove interventions
(MDPI, 2014)
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 the environment. Behavioral studies have considered ...

Use of Biomass Fuels for Cooking and Improved Biomass Stoves in Mexico
(Springer, 2021)
In the twenty-first century where technological development advances rapidly and unstoppable across the planet, there are more than three billion people who still cook with traditional wood or charcoal stoves (Concha et ...
Biomonitoring Human Exposure to Household Air Pollution and Association with Self-reported Health Symptoms - A Stove Intervention Study in Peru
(Elsevier, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Household air pollution (HAP) from indoor biomass stoves contains harmful pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and is a leading risk factor for global disease burden. We used biomonitoring ...
