Finding F-0718
“Cooking with electric stoves secondarily with primary charcoal (charcoal + electric) was associated with 7.2% lower CO exposures, although not significantly.”
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 7.2
- Sample
- 747 measurements
- Caveat
- the authors read the primary stove as what matters: only primary electric use lowered exposure significantly
