The Danger of Incomplete Combustion for Environment, Health, and ...

Conclusions: Intervention.• Reductions in exposures through simpleimprovements, such as chimney stoves, areintrinsically limited because smoke from the solidfuel is still around the household.• Future improvements should focus on stoves andfuels that reduce emissions, such as the biomassgasifier stoves being developed in the country.• Advanced combustion stoves can lower pollutionlevels substantially, with 90+% reductiondocumented• Substituting cleaner fuels for the poisonous coalsused in tens of millions of households should havean especially high priority.
