Summary: | Indoor air pollution (IAP) from cooking
and heating is estimated to kill a million children annually
in developing countries. To promote a better understanding
of IAP, the authors investigate the determinants of IAP in
Bangladesh using the latest air monitoring technology and a
national household survey. The study concludes that IAP is
dangerously high for many poor families in Bangladesh. |
