Finding F-0715
“EcoZoom (19 ppm) and traditional charcoal users (18 ppm) had the highest average CO exposures, followed by, in decreasing order, improved charcoal (14 ppm), charcoal + electric (14 ppm), and electric + charcoal (9 ppm).”
Structure
- Source
- Charcoal
- Factor
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Population
- primary cooks
- Setting
- personal exposure of the primary cook in the household, ZM (baseline, cool season)
- Study design
- quasi-experimental evaluation of two improved cookstove programmes in Lusaka, Zambia: 24-hour personal exposure to carbon monoxide (747 measurements) and PM2.5 (90) of primary cooks at baseline in the cool season of 2019 and at endline in the warm season, with difference-in-differences and generalised least squares models of log-transformed exposure against stove group, season, neighbourhood, cooking location, ventilation, stove-influenced hours and expenditure (class 3)
- Effect
- mean 9
- Averaging time
- 24 h
- Sample
- 747 measurements
- Caveat
- personal exposure of the cook, not a room concentration; the register has no slug for electric cooking, so only charcoal is recorded as the source
