- Title
Indoor air pollution from biomass combustion and acute respiratory infections in Kenya: an exposure-response study.
- Authors
Ezzati, M; Kammen, D
- Abstract
Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the leading cause of the global burden of disease and have been causally linked with exposure to pollutants from domestic biomass fuels in less-developed countries. We used longitudinal health data coupled with detailed monitoring of personal exposure from more than 2 years of field measurements in rural Kenya to estimate the exposure-response relation for particulates smaller than 10 mm in diameter (PM(10)) generated from biomass combustion.
