Summary
This study gave clean-burning LPG stoves to half of 3,200 households in India, Guatemala, Peru, and Rwanda. Pregnant women and their children were followed for up to 5 years to see if cleaner air leads to higher birth weight, fewer cases of severe pneumonia, less stunting, and lower blood pressure in older women. The goal is to reduce the health harms of cooking with smoky solid fuels.
