Finding F-0506
“Similarly, significantly higher levels of CO2 were measured in houses that used solid fuel (median 893.00mg/m3, IQR: 1186) compared to houses which used clean fuel (median 507.0, IQR: 123)mg/m3.”
Structure
- Source
- Solid fuel
- Factor
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Population
- households cooking at home
- Setting
- kitchen, ET
- Study design
- cross-sectional household survey of 280 randomly selected households in Jimma town, Ethiopia (140 solid fuel, 140 clean fuel/electricity): real-time PM2.5, PM10, CO, CO2 and VOC measured in the kitchen during cooking for 30 minutes to one hour with portable monitors, compared by fuel, kitchen configuration, ventilation and stove type with Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (class 4)
- Effect
- median 893.00
- Averaging time
- real-time measurement during cooking, 30 minutes to one hour
- Sample
- 280 households
- Flags
- implausible
- Caveat
- the unit is printed as mg/m3, but the Methods describe an NDIR sensor with a 0-2000 ppm range; 507 mg/m3 would be below outdoor air, so the printed unit is most likely ppm
