Finding F-1556

“The average 24-h kitchen area PM2.5 concentrations were estimated to be 405 μg/m3 (SD 221 μg/m3) ranging from 52 to 965 μg/ m3 and the median concentrations were less than the mean at 383 μg/ m3.”

Structure

Source: Biomass fuel
Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Setting: kitchen
Study design: measurement of fine particulate matter in the kitchens of rural households: 24-hour kitchen concentrations measured across roof types, fuels and cooking tasks, with the variation between kitchens analysed (class 4)
Effect: mean 405
Caveat: a kitchen area measurement, not a personal exposure; the median of the same kitchens is 383 μg/m3, below the mean
