Outdoor air pollution in
developing-country cities is difficult to overlook. Indoor
air pollution caused by burning such traditional fuels as
wood, crop residues, and dung is less evident, yet it is
responsible for a significant part of country and global
disease burdens. The main groups affected are poor women and
children in rural areas and urban slums as they go about
their daily activities. This note reviews the evidence on
health effects from indoor air pollution in developing
countries, looking in detail at India. It outlines possible
solutions and concludes that the only feasible long-term
remedy is improved access to cleaner modern energy. |
