Finding F-0716
“Primary cooks using electric stoves exclusively or primarily with charcoal stoves secondarily (electric + charcoal) had on average 78% and 44% lower CO exposures, respectively, compared to traditional charcoal users.”
Structure
- Factor
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Population
- primary cooks
- Setting
- personal exposure of the primary cook in the household, ZM
- 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
- difference 78
- Sample
- 747 measurements
- Caveat
- a percentage difference in personal exposure, not a concentration; the register has no slug for electric cooking
