Finding F-1009
“The median PM2.5 (720 μg/m3 vs. 115 μg/m3 , p < 0.01) and CO levels (2000 ppm vs. 1100 ppm, p < 0.01) were significantly higher in the high-exposure group.”
Structure
- Source
- Biomass fuel
- Factor
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Population
- pregnant women and their newborns
- Setting
- home, LK
- Study design
- cohort study of pregnant women in Sri Lanka: households grouped into high and low exposure by biomass fuel use, with indoor PM2.5 and carbon monoxide measured and neonatal outcomes recorded at birth (class 3)
- Effect
- median 2000
- Flags
- implausible
- Caveat
- carbon monoxide at 1100 to 2000 ppm indoors would be life-threatening within an hour; the figures read like carbon dioxide, which the study also measured - taken as printed and flagged
