Structure

Source: Cooking
Factor: Carbon monoxide (CO)
Population: children under 5 years
Setting: home, cooking inside in the kitchen, MW (rainy season)
Study design: cross-sectional assessment at recruitment to the Cooking and Pneumonia Study, a cluster-randomised trial of cleaner-burning biomass cookstoves in rural Malawi: 48-hour personal carbon-monoxide monitoring of 1928 children under five with carboxyhaemoglobin measured in 1520 of them, against household characteristics and cooking practices from questionnaires (class 4)
Effect: mean 1.65
Averaging time: 48 h
Caveat: the more confined the cooking place, the higher the exposure of the child
