| description |
Recognition of the problem of indoor air
pollution (IAP) and its deleterious effects of health is
growing worldwide as efforts increase to understand and
articulate the complex health-air pollution linkages. Recent
WHO estimates indicate that indoor smoke for solid fuels
causes 1.6 million deaths annually and accounts for 2.7
percent of the global burden of disease. In Guatemala,
adverse health impacts of IAP disproportionately affect
children in poor, rural households of which 97 percent use
fuelwood as the dominant cooking fuel. Based on data from
two recent household surveys and the results of worldwide
IAP health studies, this book examines the relationship
between fuel use and health in Guatemala. The main purpose
of the book is to draw attention to a major problem by
highlighting the effects of IAP on the health of children in
rural households in Guatemala and to identify appropriate
options to mitigate those effects. |
