Indoor respirable particulate matter concentrations from an open fire, improved cookstove, and LPG/open fire combination in a rural Guatemalan community

Article Abstract:

Cooking stoves used in a community in Guatemala are measured for particulate matter concentrations over a period of eight months. Differences between the pollution generated by an open fire cookstove, an improved cookstove with a flue, and a liquefied petroleum gas stove/open fire combination are investigated and graphed.

Secondary benefits of greenhouse gas control: health impacts in China

Article Abstract:

There are important near-term as well as long-term benefits to be gained from greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, with its simultaneous reduction in health-damaging pollutants (HDP). Using the power and household energy sectors in China, this paper estimates these benefits.

Seasonal and Spatial Variations in Human Cell Mutagenicity of Respirable Airborne Particles in the Northeastern United States

Article Abstract:

Researchers gathered and studied airborne particles at rural and urban areas at the thymidine kinase locus to show that mutaginicity levels were significantly higher in winter than in summer at all locations which could have an impact on lung cancer development. Six figures accompany the article.
