What Is the Problem?
70% of the Indian population relies on solid fuels
Solid fuels produce toxic pollutants
Serious health consequences

Solid Fuel Smoke: The Pollutants
Biofuel smoke contain a large number of harmful pollutants.
Particular matter (PM)/SPM carbon monoxide Nitrogen dioxide Polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Benzo (alpha) pyrene extracted from SPM 1,3-butadiene, Benzene, selenium, formaldehyde,
Styrene, etc. (Kandpal et al. 1994)
Coal in addition also releases some toxic elements. Sulfur dioxide (SO2), Fluorine (F), Mercury (Hg), Arsenic
(As), Lead (Pb)

Health Consequences
Anaemia ARIs & Respiratory Illnesses (Tuberculosis) Cancer: Lung/Bladder/Kidney/Pancreatic Immunodeficiency disorders Cognitive decline

70% of the Indian population relies on solid fuels.
Solid fuels produce pollutants with serious health consequences.
Our Question Do they also lead to Childhood
Stunting?

Stunting Consequences
Higher likelihood of contracting illnesses, lower recovery rates lower likelihood of survival
▪ Future intellect▪ Future health status
Percentage of women with short stature varies strikingly according to the degree of stunting at 3 years of age
Martorell et al. (1992)▪ Reproductive performance▪ Predicts child’s birth size and survival

that describe the nutritional status: Height-for-age (stunting)
Height: Height by Age Z score (HAZ )Exposure Solid Fuel- Coal/Charcoal (2.25%); Wood (50%);
Crop Waste & shrubs (6.84%) ; Animal Dung (9.8%)
Reference – Natural Gas/LPG (26.85%); Kerosene (3.45%)

Add Drawback
Much of the research has centered on whether the stoves reduce IAP. For example, McCracken and Smith (1998), Ezzati and Kammen (2002), Ezzati, Saleh, and Kammen (2000), Ezzati, Mbinda, and Kammen (2000), and Albalak et al. (2001) have all found that various types of improved cooking stoves have resulted in reductions of toxic pollutants

• Outside • Separate location for a kitchen• Ventilation – Window

Public health perspective
Efficient Cooking Stoves Replacing solid fuel with cleaner fuels
Substitution across solid fuels?
Ensuring proper ventilation We need a greater discussion on cooking
practices that can reduce “Pollution concentrations”- cumulative exposure.
