Finding F-0720
“At baseline, Matero cooks, mostly using the Mimi Moto as their primary stove, had 78% lower CO exposure on average (3.8 ppm) compared to cooks in the other neighborhoods (17 ppm).”
Structure
- 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 3.8
- Averaging time
- 24 h
- Sample
- 747 measurements
- Caveat
- personal exposure of the cook; the authors read the neighbourhood difference as larger than any stove effect
