Structure

Factor
Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Intervention
Improved cookstoves
Setting
home
Study design
trial of improved cookstoves against traditional cooking: respiratory symptoms, spirometry and exposure to particulate matter between 0.3 and 2.5 micrometres with its carbon components measured in the households of both groups (class 3)
Effect
difference 77
Caveat
the same sentence group reports black carbon down 50 %, brown carbon 78 %, organic carbon 58 % and total carbon 45 %, while the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons showed no consistent pattern
