Cleaner air at home: can a simple stove change protect babies and grandmothers?
NCT ID NCT02944682
Summary
This study tested whether providing clean-burning LPG stoves and fuel to households could prevent health problems linked to indoor air pollution. Researchers enrolled 3,200 pregnant women across four countries and gave half of them the new stoves, while the other half continued using traditional solid fuel stoves. They followed the mothers, their babies, and sometimes an older woman in the home to see if the cleaner air led to healthier birth weights, fewer cases of pneumonia in infants, and better blood pressure in adults.
