Background: Exposure to household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels in simple stoves is a major health risk. Modeling reliable estimates of fuel use needed for monitoring trends and informing policy.Objectives: In order revise the disease burden attributed Global Burden Disease 2010 project international reporting purposes, we estimated annual world population using fuels.Methods: We developed multilevel model based on national survey data primary fuel.Results: The proportion...
In the Comparative Risk Assessment (CRA) done as part of Global Burden Disease project (GBD-2010), global and regional burdens household air pollution (HAP) due to use solid cookfuels, were estimated along with 60+ other risk factors. This article describes how HAP CRA was framed; exposures modeled; diseases judged have sufficient evidence for inclusion; meta-analyses exposure-response modeling estimate relative risks. We explore relationships factors: ambient pollution, smoking, secondhand...
Background: 2.8 billion people use solid fuels as their primary cooking fuel; the resulting high levels of household air pollution (HAP) were estimated to cause more than 4 million premature deaths in 2012. The most affected are among world's poorest, and past experience has shown that securing adoption sustained effective, low-emission stove technologies such populations is not easy. Among questions raised by these challenges (i) what does HAP exposure need be reduced order ensure...
Abstract Household air pollution generated from the use of polluting cooking fuels and technologies is a major source disease environmental degradation in low- middle-income countries. Using novel modelling approach, we provide detailed global, regional country estimates percentages populations mainly using 6 fuel categories (electricity, gaseous fuels, kerosene, biomass, charcoal, coal) overall polluting/clean – 1990-2020 with urban/rural disaggregation. Here show that 53% global population...

The Global Household Air Pollution (HAP) Measurements database, commissioned by the World Health Organization, provides an organized summary of data reported in literature describing HAP microenvironments, methods and measurements. As June 2018, database contains measurements from 43 countries obtained 196 studies published through 2016. includes information useful for understanding range household personal air pollution that have been collected a country, as well characteristics cooking...
Cooking with polluting and inefficient fuels technologies is responsible for a large set of global harms, ranging from health time losses among the billions people who are energy poor, to environmental degradation at regional scale. This paper presents new decision-support model–the BAR-HAP Tool–that aimed guiding planning policy interventions accelerate transitions towards cleaner cooking technologies. The conceptual model behind lies in framework costs benefits that holistic comprehensive,...
Summary In 2017 an estimated 3 billion people used polluting fuels and technologies as their primary cooking solution, with 3.8 million deaths annually attributed to household exposure the resulting fine particulate matter air pollution. Currently, health burdens are calculated by using aggregations of fuel types, e.g. solid fuels, country level estimates use specific wood charcoal, unavailable. To expand knowledge base about effects pollution on health, we develop implement a novel Bayesian...
Zeenah Haddad and colleagues call for an expansion of data on household energy use routinely collected through national surveys to gauge the health effects by gender
Abstract Exposure to household air pollution results in a substantial global health burden. The World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Household Fuel Combustion stipulate emission rates energy devices should meet quality guidelines and protect health. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biogas, natural (NG), alcohol fuels are considered clean due their low emissions at the point of use. In light ongoing transition increasing emphasis on these fuels, it is imperative...
Air pollution has been identified as a global health priority in the sustainable development agenda. The World Health Organization (WHO) responsibility for stewarding three air pollution-related indicators monitoring progress against Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): (Goal 3) – mortality from pollution, cities 11) quality cities, and energy 7) access to clean fuels technologies.This session will present WHO updated estimates of exposure burden disease particulate matter, which are used...
Abstract Clean cooking technologies have the potential to deliver tremendous health, environmental, climate, and gender equity benefits. We use BAR-HAP model analyze regional global costs benefits of policies support household-level transitions cleaner technologies. The analysis provides realistic, evidence-based estimates impacts policy interventions, while remaining conservative about factors such as stove usage rates, subsidy leakage exposure levels. These assumptions notwithstanding,...
Environmental health risks especially affect women and children, because they are more vulnerable socially exposures to environmental contaminants create greater for children's developing bodies cognitive functions. According the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, modifiable risk factors cause about 1.7 million deaths in children younger than five years 12.6 total every year. (1) Although Global strategy women's, adolescents' (2016-2030) (2) was launched during United Nations...
