Finding F-1557
“The 24-hr average exposures for women cooks using biomass fuels in enclosed kitchens (248 ± 117 μg/m3) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than for those that used biomass fuels in outdoor kitchens (171 ± 55 μg/m3).”
Structure
- Source
- Biomass fuel
- Factor
- Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
- Population
- women cooks
- Setting
- personal exposure of the woman cooking in an enclosed kitchen
- Study design
- study of daily average exposures to respirable particles in households using solid and clean fuels: personal monitoring, area measurements and time-activity records combined into 24-hour average exposures for women cooks, other women, men and children (class 4)
- Effect
- mean 248
- Averaging time
- 24 hours
- Caveat
- a personal exposure, not a room concentration; the sentence prints the spread as a plus-minus value without naming it; the outdoor kitchens have a standard deviation of 55 μg/m3
