“Percent changes in kitchen CO compared to TSF, adjusting for multiple stove use and amount of fuel used, ranged from 5.8% increase for households using EcoZoom to 34.5% reduction for Philips.”

Structure

Source: Biomass fuel
Factor: Carbon monoxide (CO)
Intervention: Improved cookstoves
Setting: kitchen, KE
Study design: study of six improved cookstoves in rural western Kenya: 48-hour kitchen carbon monoxide and PM2.5 measured with the traditional three-stone fire as the reference, with fuel weighing, stove-use monitoring and an acceptability survey (class 3)
Effect: difference 5.8
Averaging time: 48 h
Caveat: an improved stove that left kitchen carbon monoxide slightly higher than the open fire
