View article: Air pollution and health in Rwandan and Kenyan schools cooking with polluting fuels: a cross-sectional impact study
Air pollution and health in Rwandan and Kenyan schools cooking with polluting fuels: a cross-sectional impact study Open
School meals across Sub-Saharan Africa are typically prepared using biomass on inefficient stoves, resulting in high air pollution levels that might affect learners and staff. However, there is a paucity of air pollution health-related res…

Burden of headaches, eye irritation and respiratory symptoms among females stacking LPG with polluting cooking fuels: Modelling from peri-urban Cameroon, Ghana & Kenya Open
In peri‑urban sub-Saharan Africa, women exclusively cooking with LPG had lower odds of several health symptoms than those stacking LPG and polluting fuels. Promoting a complete transition to LPG in these communities may likely generate sho…

Put your money where gas stoves fit: Household air pollution measurements in sub-Saharan Africa to prioritize locations for cooking intervention Open
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cleaner cooking fuels like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) emit less fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO) than polluting fuels (e.g. wood, charcoal). Yet, some clean cooking interventions have not achi…
